The Dangers of Too Much Data Privacy

www.securitypark.co.uk

Data privacy is a real hot topic now-a-days. 36 states plus Washington D.C. have passed data privacy laws requiring that companies notify consumers if their personal data has been stolen. In addition to the disclosure laws, there are a whole slew of laws restricting the use of social security numbers, credit/debit card numbers and other types of sensitive information.

The federal government has passed its own slew of laws including; HIPAA, SOX, GLBA and more that require companies to protect the privacy of the non-public personal information that they have about all of us. On the whole, this is a very good thing. Nobody wants to be the victim of identity theft, or get unwanted solicitations. How many of us would love to cut out even half the amount of junk mail we receive on a regular basis? The problem has gotten so bad; that some companies now offer services to protect consumers from identity theft.
