Privacy Laws and Non-Profit Organizations

Paper Summary:

In this article, the writer points out that privacy laws in the United States have received little enforcement because the only regulating authority has traditionally been the Federal Trade Commission. The writer also notes that regardless of legislation that is passed in an attempt to ensure privacy exists for Americans, the laws have served as general guidelines that are interpreted and possibly followed by business entities. Further the writer discusses that when non-profit organizations are considered there is little regulation and in some cases no regulation to control the gathering of personal information retrieved to solicit financial gain.

From the Paper:

"This is a reflection of the freedoms that have been afforded non-profit organizations in the country, with the public often being unaware of the use of their personal information. A large factor in the issue of privacy and non-profit organizations has been the exchange of personal information."
