Yet since most victims do not know if their information was accessed through a security breach at a business, an Internet hacker or a dumpster diver, the practical action for consumers is to shred any document containing sensitive information, said Paul Stephens, director of policy and advocacy for the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, a San Diego-based consumer advocacy group.
” The group, consisting of organizations such as the Center for Digital Democracy, Privacy Rights Clearinghouse and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said legislation should be enacted to protect against advertisers that collect sensitive information to use for behavioral tracking or targeting.
The coalition includes the Center for Digital Democracy; Consumer Federation of America; Consumers Union; Consumer Watchdog; Electronic Frontier Foundation; Privacy Lives; Privacy Rights Clearinghouse; Privacy Times; US Public Interest Research Group; and World Privacy Forum.
