Privacy Rights : A Reference Handbook

What is the legal status of privacy? What are the biggest threats to your privacy and how can you protect it? Find out in Privacy Rights, which defines the concept and examines its history, from community standards and court decisions to the threat of computers and their vast potential for invading privacy. The book covers contemporary privacy concerns from credit and identity theft to drug testing and the use of security cameras, wiretapping, and recording of cell phone conversations, as well as the safeguarding of personal data. It analyzes the realities of data protection and surveillance and examines model protection codes, commission findings, court cases, and specific laws, such as the Drivers Privacy Protection Act of 1994, and looks at such organizations as the California Privacy Rights Clearinghouse and the Internet Free Expression Alliance. A valuable reference resource for exploring privacy concerns and the controversies and legal battles surrounding them, this handy guide also facilitates further research by citing important books, articles, films, websites, and other sources.Glenn, Leigh is the author of 'Privacy Rights : A Reference Handbook', published 2000 under ISBN 9781576071335 and ISBN 1576071332.
