It is written to help businesses deal with the issues surrounding privacy, particularly as they relate to company web sites and email.
The book begins with a well-rounded introduction to privacy issues from a business perspective. Then the established principles of privacy in commerce are reviewed,such as the OECD Guidelines and the Fair Information Practice Principles.
A review of applicable privacy laws comes next, covering U.S. legislation such as HIPAA, COPPA, and G-L-B, plus the European Union’s privacy laws and the U.S. Safe Harborprinciples.
After establishing the basics that every business needs to know about privacy today, the book focuses on privacy challenges specific to business web sites and email, which are often on the front line when privacy questions arise at companies. Questions like:
What should your web site privacy policy be?
Where should it be posted on the web site?
What permissions do you need to send email to customers and potential customers?
