| Privacy Debate: Marc Rotenberg opening remarks |
 |
We are not only discussing the expectations of
privacy going forward, but also the constitutional
traditions of this nation. America has a strong
history of protecting personal privacy, and as
technology has advanced we have always chosen to
update our laws to maintain those protections.
The Supreme Court has supported these laws that
protected rights. 9/11 challenged us not only to
protect our nation, but also to protect what makes
us free: the Constitution and the rule of law.
The American public has largely rejected the
additional surveillance programs instituted by the
Bush administration in recent years. If the
government needs information, it should go through
the proper processes and get a warrant from a
judge. The answer is not how to adjust the
balance between privacy and security. We need to
always maintain the rule of law, constitutional
protections, and the need for an independent
judiciary and an open and accountable government.
If we're prepared to accept the proposition that
we can lower our expectations of privacy after
9/11, then we're prepared to accept the
proposition that we can diminish our
constitutional form of democracy.

| Privacy and Protection |
 |
Privacy and protection for consumer rights is at
the forefront of concerns relating to the
implementation of electronic health records.
Privacy, confidentiality, discrimination and
appropriate use of data are points of discussion
surrounding the concerns of implementing health
IT. Alison Rein, Assistant Director for Food and
Health Policy at the National Consumer League, a
leading consumer rights group, offers an actual
example of a woman who was afforded no protection
under the law when the entirety of her medical
record was shared with another institution.

http://techgeeks.co.nr/ A cookie is a piece of
information that an Internet website sends to your
browser when you access information at that site.
Upon receipt of the information your browser saves
the information on your hard-disk (unless your
browser doesn't support cookies). Each time you
use your computer to access that same website, the
information that was previously received is sent
back to the website by your browser. Most commonly
used browsers support the use of cookies.
Why are cookies used? Generally, for those of us
that access the Internet through a public ISP,
each request we make to a website cannot be linked
to a previous request, as each request does not
contain a permanent unique identifier. Cookies
allow website operators to assign a unique
permanent identifier to a computer which can be
used to associate the requests made to the website
from that computer.
Cookies indicate to a website that you have been
there before and can be used to record what parts
of a website you visit. While cookies in
themselves may not identify you, in the way a name
or address does, a cookie could potentially be
linked with other identifying information. For
example, if you provide extra information about
yourself to the website by buying something
on-line or subscribing to a free service, then the
cookies can be used to build up a profile of your
buying habits and what you are interested in. They
can then be used to tailor banner advertising to
your interests.
