  • Having just reached a settlement with the Commission in which the company is required “to take several steps to make sure it lives up to its promise in the future, including giving consumers clear and prominent notice and obtaining consumers’ express consent before their information is shared beyond the privacy settings they have established,” Facebook is changing the privacy setting of its users in a way that gives the company far greater ability to disclose their personal information than in the past. With Timeline, Facebook has once again taken control over the user’s data from the user and has now made information that was essentially archived and inaccessible widely available without the consent of the user.
  • The impetus is on the user to edit their privacy settings in order to tweak their Timeline to only show stuff that they want it to show.
  • EPIC goes on to argue that since Timeline contains new categories like “Health and Wellness,” it is ripe to be used by companies mining for medical data

  • They argue that the Timeline makes it “a heck of a lot easier for computer criminals to unearth personal details that can be used to craft attacks.”

    The settlement said that Facebook must be more forthright with its members and make sure that any changes that they make concerning privacy must be clearly and prominently spelled out.

Best Practice e-discovery deloitte legal

  • The Deloitte Forensic Center’s analysis of the E-Discovery: Mitigating Risk Through Better Communication survey results1 identified three interrelated challenges. They are: Communication Awareness Readiness
  • At the heart of e-discovery are two corporate functions that historically have had little in common, and tend to speak their own technical languages: legal and IT
  • Neither can be truly effective in the e-discovery process without a clear understanding of the other, yet communication and coordination between these two departments appears to be unclear to many survey participants: More than one-third of respondents (36 percent) don’t know the answer to how their legal and IT departments communicate.

  • Deficient communication and a lack of coordination between departments can lead to an organizational lack of awareness about e-discovery.
  • Awareness Issues
  • Communication Hurdles
  • According to the survey, more than one-third of respondents, including C-suite, (36 percent) don’t know how committed their company’s C-suite is to finding a solution for e-discovery issues.
  • Only 20 percent of respondents think legal resources are appropriately allocated to e-discovery
  • Many companies also lack the resources and sophistication to manage e-discovery effectively.
  • For respondents that say their firms are challenged by e-discovery, the most common complaints are: a lack of funds to address e-discovery requirements (25 percent
  • Of those respondents with an opinion, 62 percent say their company is concerned about e-discovery challenges posed by social media web sites and blogs
  • Given the extensive use today of social media such as Facebook and Twitter during employees’ work and personal time, this suggests an e-discovery challenge that may require attention by many companies.
  • Three Years from Now
  • E-discovery is anticipated to become harder: 44 percent of respondents expect e-discovery challenges, along with government rules and regulations, to increase over the coming three years
  • Mismanaged e-discovery has led to many tales of litigation woe, involving sanctions, lost cases and fines. Improper ESI management, as the Sedona Conference points out, is simply bad business.
  • Five Areas of Potential Improvement
  • sandy ingram on 27 Jul 10
     
    "As the volume of electronically stored information (ESI) rises rapidly, improving the understanding among the C-suite, legal and IT functions is key to controlling costs and better managing e-discovery risks."

    notifying employees of clear rules on what is acceptable and what is not, balancing the need to monitor with the employees' reasonable expectations of privacy and weighing the overall benefits of allowing personal usage against the risks of doing so, are all issues with which managers will be familiar.

    Social networking sites can be both addictive and time-consuming, damaging employee productivity
  • sandy ingram on 28 Jan 09
     
    A more troublesome concern is the potential for damage to an employer's reputation or brand, if an employee makes derogatory comments about an employer, client or customer. Such comments then become easy to find via an online search and may be available for an unlimited time. Employers are also concerned about the potential loss of confidential information by an unguarded (or malicious) comment by an employee, then causing the company embarrassment, financial damage or possibly leaving them open to security risks such as identity fraud.

    For employers, the temptation to utilise sites such as Facebook and MySpace may also lead them into trouble. Some employers view the scanning of such sites for information on prospective employees as legitimate; others view it as distasteful and intrusive (the equivalent of rummaging through a candidate's personal items). Whatever the view, employers adopting this approach would do well to heed the warning of the TUC's guidance on online social networking. This guidance reminds employers that only a minority of potential staff will have a public profile on a social network, so using information from this source can give either an unfair advantage or disadvantage to certain candidates, as well as leaving the employer open to the accusation of discrimination.
  • sandy ingram on 28 Jan 09
     
    Employers have had to grapple with the issues raised by employee use of the Internet for some years and the rise of online social networking presents another challenge. There is no obvious conclusion here; employers will have to do what they consider to be correct in the light of their business concerns, their employee relations and their business culture. The dilemma posed by the heightened risks surrounding online social networking, whether to trust or restrict employees, does not lead to one "right" answer, but there is certainly a "wrong" answer. Given the ever-growing popularity of such sites and the potential consequences for employers of employee misuse, simply ignoring the issue can only lead to problems for the unwary employer.

  • There's a basic consumer protection principle at work here, and it's the concept of "unfair and deceptive" trade practices.

      Basically, a company shouldn't be able to say one thing and do another: sell used goods as new, lie on ingredients lists, advertise prices that aren't generally available, claim features that don't exist, and so on.
  • RealAge's privacy policy doesn't mention anything about selling data to drug companies, but buried in its 2,400 words, it does say that "we will share your personal data with third parties to fulfill the services that you have asked us to provide to you."
  • Cloud computing is another technology where users entrust their data to service providers. Salesforce.com, Gmail, and Google Docs are examples; your data isn't on your computer -- it's out in the "cloud" somewhere -- and you access it from your web browser.

  • 69% of Americans now use some sort of cloud computing services
  • Google repeatedly assures customers that their data is secure and private, while published vulnerabilities demonstrate that it is not
  • Cloud computing services like Google Docs, and social networking sites like RealAge and Facebook, bring with them significant privacy and security risks over and above traditional computing models
