Our Vanishing Privacy: And What You Can Do to Protect Yours

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Our Vanishing Privacy is a shocking book that reveals just how much strangers know about your private life. Right now, someone is collecting information about your health, your finances, and your love life. And they don't have your best interests at heart. Our Vanishing Privacy tells you what you need to know to fight back.

  • Will personal bar codes soon be required for each man, woman and child in the United States?
  • Why does the Quaker Oats Company want to know your views on gun control?
  • Is your pharmacist selling information about which drugs you use and how often you buy them?
  • Why won't the phone company tell you about "Call Trace," a form of "Caller I.D." that doesn't let telemarketers shatter your privacy?

Robert Ellis Smith, publisher of Privacy Journal, is one of the world's leading authorities on privacy. A graduate of Harvard College and Georgetown University Law Center, he uses his training as an attorney to advocate strong recognition of the right to privacy. Our Vanishing Privacy covers the entire spectrum of modern privacy invasion and lays the groundwork for a new respect for privacy, both in principle and practice.

Review:

"...Our Vanishing Privacy is a significant assertion." Booklist

Review:

"Robert Ellis Smith has established himself as one of the heroic figures in the battle to preserve personal privacy." David H. Flaherty, author of Protecting Privacy in Surveillance Societies

Review:

"A masterly exposition of the myriad and often surprising challenges to privacy." John W. Grace, Information Commissioner of Canada
