A Health Privacy ‘Check-Up’: How Unfair Modern Business Practices Can Leave You Under-Informed and Your Most Sensitive Data Ripe for Collection and Sale
Abstract
In an era of maximization of data collection, consumers are left to rely on walls of pop-ups and click-throughs as well as broad promises about companies “caring about privacy.” When you track your steps, google your symptoms, or check the price of a prescription, you shouldn’t have to worry about which companies can access and exploit this information in ways that may be completely unrelated to its original purpose.
