Government
Access and Use: What laws define the government's power to obtain
and use, for law enforcement or intelligence purposes, personally-identifiable
information held by commercial entities? This analysis starts from
the constitutional principle that (except for the content of wire
or electronic communications), information held by third parties
is not constitutionally protected. Instead, Congress has enacted
statutes setting some rules for government access to or use of some
kinds of data.
Commercial
Access and Use: What laws govern commercial entities when they
seek to obtain and use personally identifiable information (in the
absence of consent) for use in risk assessment or other commercial
applications?
