Syllabus
for Privacy Law - LLM130
I.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
There is a natural tension
that exists between the entities that attempt to gather
information for commercial purposes and the people who try
to prevent having that information stored and disseminated
over the Internet.
Who’s snooping your financial or health information
and can they really do that?
Questions arise in the context of child protection
when a site aimed at juvenals asks for demographic information
in the registration template.
When a store clerk reads you back your social security
number to verify your identity, a flare should go up.
When an employer tells you, in your disciplinary
review, that you logged onto e-Bay longer than you logged
onto the companies extranet, there should be a cold realization
that what you considered private, may be used against you
in any number of non-judicial ways.
Can they really do that, and get away with it?
This course will be
taught by a combination of faculty members and will cover
privacy concepts in a number of ways.
The first is through privacy statutes that have been
passed in countries around the world. An emphasis is placed
on the United States Federal Trade Commission regulations,
and the European Union Directives on Personal Data.
The course will deal with the question of whether
the government may prescribe the selling or transferring
encryption technology abroad, and to what extent governments
can us cryptographic means to hack into our personal computers.
In the employment context, we will look at what are
the acceptable acts of employers in their attempts to protect
trade secrets and company data files and servers.
