Abstract
This paper will argue that privacy will increasingly become a thing of the past given that no one - whether government or business - has any interest in the preservation of privacy. The rise of the information economy will inevitably mean that personal information becomes another good to be traded, without any benefit to the individual concerned.

This paper asks questions such as: Is it a person's right to decide who gets his or her personal information? Does a company have the right to sell a person's private information to a third party without consent? This paper examines some aspects of privacy such as policies and the practice of said policies, fraudulent use of identification and the censorship of privacy.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Maintaining privacy while online is considered to be one of the biggest worries of Internet users. So, in order to decrease the concerns of privacy invasion among consumers online, privacy policies were created. What exactly are privacy policies? Privacy policies are policies designed to protect the privacy of people online who are visiting a company or an organization?s web site. Privacy policies are usually posted for web sites in which users are purchasing products because personal information is collected. Privacy policies are not generally required for informational web sites. There is a big debate about company privacy policies. Do these policies really protect our privacy? Many say that there is no such thing as online privacy and that these policies do very little to insure secrecy."

Abstract
This paper discusses privacy and today's growing information systems technology in all fields, specifically on healthcare. Computerization of health care information, while offering new, viable opportunities to improve and streamline the health care delivery system, the author finds, also presents new challenges to individual privacy interests in personal health care data. He feels that technical and organizational capabilities to secure and maintain confidentiality in data must work in tandem with legislation to preserve those privacy interests while making appropriate information available for approved uses.
From the Paper
"Concerns over the privacy and security of electronic health information fall into two general categories: concerns about inappropriate releases of information from individual organizations; and concerns about the systemic flows of information throughout the health care and related industries. Inappropriate releases from organizations could result either from authorized users who intentionally or unintentionally access or disseminate information in violation of organizational policy, or from outsiders who break into an organization's computer system. The second category--systemic concerns--refers to the open disclosure of patient-identifiable health information to parties that may act against the interests of the specific patient or may otherwise be perceived as invading a patient's privacy. These concerns arise from the many flows of data across the health care system, between and among providers, payers, and secondary users, with or without the knowledge of the patient. These two categories of concerns are conceptually quite different requiring different interventions or countermeasures (?For the Record,? 1997, 54)."

Privacy in the Information Age, 2004.
Discusses the concept of privacy in today's technological world.

»

Abstract
In today's information age, a combination of satellite and computer technology creates a large number of privacy problems, rather than providing the security they are promoted for. The paper shows that the biggest privacy problems are experienced in terms of public privacy and privacy in terms of the Internet. In the information age ,the right "to be alone" has to be respected in terms of computer technology, as well. The paper discusses, specifically, two problems arising from the information age: Internet privacy and electronic surveillance.
From the Paper
"Further surveillance occurs in the workplace, where e-mail could be intercepted, and Internet use could be monitored. As far as this is in the interest of the workplace paradigm, the employers are within their rights. Surveillance in the workplace could also be conducted by means of electronic cameras and telephone apparatus. Often this is done without employee awareness, and this is unacceptable. Employees should in all cases be made aware of any surveillance conducted in the workplace, and of all justifications for such surveillance."

Biometric Information, 2007.
This paper argues that the gathering of biometric information does not invade privacy, but in fact protects it.

Abstract
In this article, the writer presents evidence that information collected by biometric companies does not threaten the public's privacy. The writer argues that the information gathered is not a threat to public privacy concerns and in fact can be useful for several reasons. The writer maintains that the ability to identify people using biometric information has recently come under fire by opponents who believe that gathering information is an invasion of people's property. The writer insists that while there are some seemingly valid arguments for erring on the side of privacy the actual technology and use of the information is not a constitutional breach of privacy nor should it be considered a violation of privacy.
Outline:
Introduction
What It Is
What Types of Information Qualifies for Biometric Identification
History
Opposition
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Today's technology allows for the gathering of information including fingerprints, DNA, voice recognition and other elements of each person that are not easily replicated by any other. In some cases, such as the case of DNA strands, the match between two people is sometimes estimated to be one in 100 million or more. While some people believe that the gathering of biometric information is an invasion of privacy they are already submitting to it perhaps without realizing that is what is happening. Many banks currently use fingerprints and scanners to provide identification as to whether or not to allow a person to withdraw money from the bank."

Information as Private Property, 2005.
This paper explores the role the United States plays in determining the issue of information privacy.

»

Abstract
The paper compares the perspectives of four authors on the concept of information privacy. The paper explains that despite diverging perspectives on this one concept, the collective theme is that the US is and will continue to determine the level of privacy of each individual, country and state in the world. Within this predetermined framework however, individuals and countries will be able to self-determine some level of privacy that will come at the result of their ability to effectively work within the existing laws.

Abstract
This paper presents a case study relating to privacy issues in the medical and healthcare field. It aims to design an executive level privacy protection policy and considers both the legal regulations applicable to a company's privacy issues and the company's particular privacy needs. The paper specifically examines the application of the United States Privacy Act and its subsequent revisions and the Healthcare Information Privacy Protection Act (HIPPA).
From the Paper
"Clearly, the Privacy Act, originally intended to apply only to government agencies, now applies to such non-governmental entities as the healthcare system and commercial businesses. What can be concluded from this expansion of the Act's jurisdiction is that, because of the Act, individuals now have an expectation of personal privacy. In order to ensure this expectation is met, all customer-related organizations must take steps, per the Privacy Act, to protect an individual's personal privacy. (Douglas-Steward: 2001)."
