The collection of personal information on the Internet has been the focus of considerable public debate, litigation and legislation. However, this controversial area of law has not been explored in an in-depth, comprehensive manner - until now.

Filled with scholarly analysis and pragmatic guidance, Internet and Online Privacy: A Legal and Business Guide analyzes the state of the law of online and Internet privacy and its historical origins. It examines enforcement activity by the Federal Trade Commission, federal and state legislation and regulation, as well as some of the leading lawsuits in which claims of invasion of privacy on the Internet have been asserted. The book also compares U.S.law with approaches taken by our principal trading partners around the world, including the U.S.-European Commission Safe Harbor Agreement. Readers will appreciate the authors' helpful practical advice on such matters as: how to draft a privacy policy to suit your company's needs; how to address privacy issues that are likely to arise in the workplace; and how technology can help you deal with these issues.

Internet and Online Privacy: A Legal and Business Guide will be an invaluable reference for anyone trying to understand the law governing online privacy and companies' use of personal data.
