Privacy, confidentiality and computers: National and international implications of US information policy

Donald A. Marchand

Telecommunications Policy, 1979, vol. 3, issue 3, 192-208

Abstract: The author assesses what the USA has been doing or not doing in recent years to develop information policies for personal record information to deal with the rapidly changing record-keeping world of public and private organizations. He reviews how well these policies have been implemented and enforced in the context of the US system of government, and compares the experience of European countries with US efforts, especially in the light of the serious debate which is emerging over restraints placed on transborder data flows by the privacy protection efforts of various countries.
