Public Workshop on Consumer Privacy on the Global Information Infrastructure
The Bureau of Consumer Protection of the Federal Trade Commission announces it will host a one and one-half day public workshop on consumer privacy on the Global Information Infrastructure (GII). Online transactions, such as the purchase of goods, generated electronic data that are easily duplicated, stored, retrieved, analyzed and re-used. Advances in hardware, software, and communications technologies additionally allow previously impossible or impractical manipulation of information. The Bureau's purposes for conducting this workshop are to gather information on consumers' and industry's understanding of the privacy issues posed by the emerging online marketplace, and also to gather information on online protections for consumer privacy.
