Privacy Foundation

Are you a Facebook friend of the Federal Government? You could be. The Feds are on Facebook! Do you have an interest in privacy issues? The Privacy Foundation, based at the University of Denver’s Strum College of Law, attracts a worldwide audience of professionals to the research findings published on its Internet web site, as well as public seminars on topical privacy issues. The Privacy Foundation focuses on privacy as it pertains to financial concerns, identity theft, international privacy, as well as student and workplace privacy and Homeland Security, to name a few.

The Privacy Foundation was formed to research the privacy and security implications of this highly networked world. In researching new technologies – and in describing their business, legal and societal implications – the Foundation serves to identify possible threats to individual privacy. The Foundation also assists media outlets in their efforts to accurately inform and educate the public concerning the ever-present tension between privacy and security.
