Privacy

Technology and e-commerce enable thieves around the world to steal our identities and use them for financial gain or criminal activity. The explosion of the Internet and the popularity of social networks have sparked the expansion of companies and organizations abilities to gather, use, and share personal information.

As a response to the misuse or possible misuse of personal information, state and federal legislation have been enacted. The US is not alone in their effort to mitigate this misuse of personal information; may international data protection laws have been established and are strictly enforced. Interestingly enough, states may have stronger privacy laws than those of the Federal Government, thus impacting any individual or organization doing business with a resident of that state. One of the least understood features of security is the empowerment of state laws; many times state laws are more rigid and stiffer fines are imposed.
