Thanks to Pam Dixon at Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. http://www.pamdixon.com/jobseekerprivacystudyfeb03.htm http://www.privacyrights.org/new.htm A person posing as a recruiter took resumes from July 2002 through November 2002. He got sued, which is how I found out about it. Unfortunately, though, people who are looking for jobs in those industries and who posted resumes on BioView, Medzilla, HireHeath, and possibly other sites may not have been contacted about the issue. I should also mention that biotech/parma employers evidently got free access to the purloined resumes. 11:01:33 AM    comment []

Thanks to: Dan Gillmor: Bill of Rights under a new assault By Dan Gillmor, Mercury News Technology Columnist (www.dangillmor.com): Read the draft on the Center for Public Integrity's Web site (http://publicintegrity.org/dtaweb/home.asp).

Don't forget this California statute's apparent wide applicability to those who do business or collect information on California residents: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/200301/msg00056.html http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/nov2002/tc20021111_2402.htm http://www.itaa.org/isec/docs/itaa080602sb1386.pdf http://www.ici.org/issues/com_2002_california_sb1386_cvr1.html 10:47:55 AM    comment []
