More Privacy (March 04, 2003) -- After last week's article on privacy issues, we got a note from Frank Heasley, the tireless founder of Medzilla:
While we're tempted to quibble, Medzilla has always been at the forefront of the privacy policy debate. This is a question that will not go away and will shape our industry's future. We're surprised by the degree to which Europe is really leading the way on this one. European law supports extreme management for personal information. Meanwhile job boards are selling memberships to email marketers and companies treat personal information from candidates as an annoyance, not a resource. The investment that a person makes in your company begins with entrusting her personal information into your care. While in your database, that information is still the property of the person who entrusted it to your care. It must be treated with care and respect. There is movement, in other parts of the net, to
set standards regarding the use of personal information. One suggestion is the
"You
First Digital Pledge" (which suggests that companies, in general, make
the following promises): The employment world is more complex. Already managed, in part, by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, candidates have clear rights to know who is using their information and what it contains. Expect a great deal of focus in this area.
