The Computer and Personal Privacy, Part III: The Regulation of Computer Records in the United States
Abstract
The major federal and state laws that govern the privacy aspects of the use of computer data banks fall into three types of relationships between individuals and institutions: 1) individuals dealing with private institutions such as colleges or universities, 2) individuals interacting with state and local governments; and 3) individuals interacting with the federal government. A separate section is devoted to each of these relationships, containing assessments of the effectiveness of the legal mechanisms that mediate them. The ability of privacy laws that are presently on the books to protect us from abusive information collection, dissemination, and management practices is specifically considered.
