Privacy Rights Clearinghouse Second Annual Report Available

``` Date: Thu, 27 Apr 1995 13:40:45 -0700 (PDT) From: Privacy Rights Clearinghouse Subject: Privacy Rights Clearinghouse Second Annual Report Available

April 24, 1995

The Second Annual Report of the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse is now available. The 68-page report covers the time frame from October 1993 through September 1994, our second full year of hotline operation. We discuss project usage statistics and accomplishments as well as what we consider to be the most significant privacy issues affecting California consumers.

This year we have reported privacy issues a little differently, selecting some of the more troubling privacy abuses from hotline calls and discussing them in a separate section of the report. The Second Annual Report highlights nearly 50 such case studies. We have made particular note of what we call invisible information gathering; we also focus on the growing crime of identity theft. In addition, we revisit some of the topics discussed last year, such as "junk" mail, unwanted telemarketing sales calls, medical records privacy and workplace monitoring.

A 15-page Executive Summary of the Annual Report can be found on the PRC's gopher site. The Executive Summary includes all of the case studies featured in the full report. Gopher to gopher.acusd.edu. Go into the menu item "USD Campuswide Information Services" to find the PRC's materials.

For a complete paper copy of the 68-page report, call the PRC at 800-773-7748 (Calif. only) or 619-298-3396.

The PRC is a nonprofit consumer education program administered by the University of San Diego Center for Public Interest Law. It is funded in part by the Telecommunications Education Trust, a program of the California Public Utilities Commission.
