Consumer Federation of America Offers Online Resource on Privacy Issues

The Consumer Federation of America Wednesday published an online resource guide to help advocates, media, policymakers and others better understand privacy issues. In a news release, the group said the guide offers a sampling of surveys, studies and articles on advertising, attitudes toward privacy, big data, data brokers, data security, facial recognition, healthcare, IoT, and personalized pricing and discrimination. "Consumers should not have to make a choice between energy efficiency and privacy, or worry about their children enjoying Pokémon GO because their personal information is being collected and shared for purposes that have nothing to do with playing the game,” said Susan Grant, the group's consumer protection and privacy director.
