Abstract
This paper focuses on the issues concerning employee email privacy in the workplace in the USA. With the rapid intrusion of electronic communication in our lives, protecting our online privacy has become a major source of contention in the offices today. Employers often feel that they have a right to snoop, by checking all incoming and outgoing emails in order to make sure that no important data is being leaked out. But more often than not, this results in total violation of employee privacy rights.

Abstract
This paper addresses the question of whether the legal profession is justified in holding UK organisations liable for employees abuse of electronic mail systems in the workplace.
From the Paper
"Should an employer be deemed liable for e-mail messages written by one employee, and sent to another employee, without the employers knowledge or consent, this has begun to happen over the past few years. Employers are finding themselves facing spiralling legal costs when employees sue for sexual or racial harassment. UK governments have been reluctant to lay down laws with respect to electronic communications and employees rights in the workplace, inevitably this has led to an increase in cases brought against employers. Organisations are beginning to fight back, with covert monitoring of personal e-mail sent by employees. Recent legal cases are reported and particular attention is paid to both employees and employers perspectives, with consideration to relevant statute."

From the Paper
"In the Age of Information, there are increasing concerns being voiced about what can legitimately be expected to be kept private, and how these issues affect employees' rights in the workplace. According to Hayden, Hendricks and Novak (1990, most adults spend approximately one-half of their waking hours in the workplace today, and it is therefore not surprising that employment practices affect a broad range of privacy rights. With the sole exception of polygraph ("lie-detector") testing, there are not many areas of workplace activities that are addressed by the U.S. Constitution or national privacy laws. As a result, employers in the United States have a great deal of flexibility in collecting data on their employees, regulating their access to personnel files, and disclosing the contents of employee files to those outside the organization. Besides the issue of personnel files, workplace privacy involves such practices as polygraph testing, drug testing, computer and telephone monitoring, and interference with personal lifestyle (Hayden et al., 1990)."

Abstract
This paper briefly examines the increasing invasion of privacy in the workplace as a result of technology advancement and employers? efforts to keep responsible, honest, and professional employees. It discusses Fourth Amendment rights and employers? practices in telephone, computer and email monitoring, polygraph and drug testing, and background investigations.
From the Paper
"The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution?s Bill of Rights protects people against unreasonable searches of their persons or homes and seizures of their personal possessions. Although the Constitution does not mention the word ?Privacy?, it was thought that the Bill of Rights covered certain privacy rights. The invasion of privacy can be thought of on two levels. The first level involves events that can be seen and observed. The second level includes information that generates permanent records and can therefore be searched. When the Bill of Rights was written in 1791, it was during a time when people learned about each other from what they observed in public. Permanent records consisted mainly of private letters and journals. The protection offered by the Fourth Amendment seemed adequate at the time."

From the Paper
"Two general but major theoretical orientations provide the basic foundation for the present investigation. These guide the cultural and philosophical theories that are described in detail in the following chapter. The first relates to cultural theory in general; the second pertains to personal privacy. With regard to culture, it can be said in the most general terms that culture is the most basic determinant of the wants and behaviors of individuals. Culture is an important idea because it deals with the way people live and approach problem solving in a social and organizational context. Those growing up in a given society quickly learn a basic set of values, perceptions, preferences, and behaviors unique to that culture. These concepts are learned through a process of socialization which involves the family, social group, school, and other institutions. Nevertheless, it is important to understand that different cultural theories continually surface as researchers learn increasingly more about culture and society. New perspectives give rise to new theoretical bases for assessing culture. Many early anthropologists conceived of culture as a collection of traits. Characteristics and behaviors were spread from one society to another. However, critics of this approach pointed out that the theory failed to explain why certain traits spread and others do not."

Post 9-11 Security and Privacy in IT, 2005.

Abstract
This paper examines not only the data protection instruments but also encompasses various breaches, recognitions and provisions for the interests of national security that over-weighs/surpass dangers to individual privacy in information technology. Chapter 2 deals with the erosion of privacy rights due to Sept 11, and amounts to probably the most significant issue in recent history, as information privacy rights have been recognized for controlling the dissemination and use of data. Chapter 3 has a comprehensive analysis that everyone has the right to be protected under the law and no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home, or correspondence. Chapter 4 studies means of private communications without the consent of the sender or receiver and deals with breaches of privacy. Chapter 5 reviews data protection instruments in EU and non-EU horizons. Chapter 6 elucidates shocking revelations against terror and a flurry of virus activity resulting in personal data of Arab males being made available to the police to protect data against the war on terrorism. Chapter 7 states the balance between privacy and security risks and suggests that privacy-invasive measures adopted have not been as effective in enhancing security as originally intended. Hence they should not be construed as rivals but rather two sides of the same coin. In Chapter 8, systematic surveillance of the citizen in both the physical and virtual worlds after September 11, 2001 is discussed in detail. In Chapter 9, the war on terrorism by the United States and its allies as well as the discussion and measures about the ways in which the world has changed is dealt with. Chapter 10 details the cooperation and mutual assistance in EU-US law enforcement, namely human trafficking, immigration, and refugees, visas, biometrics and passports, etc.
Chapter 11 addresses security concerns raised in the aftermath of the September 11 attack and interrelated issues involving the movement of people, security at the border and in the skies and various security models/gadgets as well. Chapter 12 gives details of how and why a fund was created for the compensation of victims of Sept 11. Chapter 13, last but not least, wraps up various issues discussed earlier and answers unanswered questions from the introduction.

From the Paper
"Privacy rights have always been something of a stepchild in the family of constitutional rights. Although interpreted by the courts to be one of our fundamental rights, it is not mentioned by name anywhere in the Constitution or its amendments because it is a passive right. Felt only when absent, it tends to get less attention. This is why it became the first constitutional right in the post-September 11 execution line. Whatever the case, we should all be concerned that what has happened to privacy can also happen to other rights. There is always tension in the system, but it was designed that way, and generally we do a good job of balancing the desires of the state with the liberties of the people."

Workplace Privacy, 2006.
A look at workplace privacy and whether employees really have a right to privacy in the workplace.
1,575 words (approx. 6.3 pages), 5 sources, $ 62.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the fact that employees have expectations that they can communicate by phone or email without being monitored and that private offices and lockers will remain that way. The paper also discusses that, in spite of these expectations, most laws do not protect the employees' rights'; rather, they protect the right of employers to protect themselves from employee abuse.
From the Paper
"Most people believe that they have a right to privacy under the law, whether at home or on the job. For that reason, it is common for people to feel comfortable with the idea of sending personal emails or making personal phone calls while on company time. Despite these expectations, however, most employees are not entitled to complete privacy in the workplace. Rules do differ between public sector and private sector jobs, however, and workers do have some responsibilities in keeping the rights that they do have intact. Regardless of these expectations, or perhaps due to them, employees may be surprised to learn how little privacy they can expect in the workplace. Employee Expectations Employees seem to feel that they have certain rights to privacy in the workplace. They expect that they can communicate with other people freely, by phone or by email, without monitoring."

From the Paper
"Privacy is something that all human beings want and need. Humans seek privacy to prevent others from seeing and knowing everything that they do and feel. Whether at home or work, people require some sort of shield of privacy to freely to pursue his or her projects or cultivate intimate social relationships. If this privacy is not provided, the effects are negative and people may become reclusive or unproductive."

Abstract
"The Right to Privacy by Ellen Alderman and Caroline Kennedy is an introduction to the wide variety of privacy claims made by American citizens and the fate of those claims in the courts. The book is intended for a general readership, rather than for legal scholars, and it is designed as if in answer to a list of points about privacy that almost any group of Americans would produce if they were asked to name the areas of privacy in which they were most interested. The authors respond to the prevailing idea in American society that there is some kind of legal protection for privacy rights.

Abstract
This paper provides a critical assessment of North American assumptions of "privacy" and the "right to privacy" which is, in fact, not regarded as a constitutional or legal right, but is embedded as an assumption that is inextricable from assumptions of privilege and wealth. This essay is a critique of the concept of "privacy" and a positive analysis of Heiser's article on issues of privacy in a global context.

From the Paper
"According to World Internet Link (2001) ?Internet Portals are among the hottest Internet trends of the day.? Client Help Desk (2002) describes an Internet portal as ?a Web site which offers a great amount of content and services, either on many subjects or on a specific subject.? Major Internet portals, a further development of search-engines, include AltaVista, Excite, Lycos and Yahoo. Problems arise because of privacy concerns as some users don?t want to provide personal information and credit card details to an Internet portal and/or e-commerce company. The personalisation of Internet portals is possible via a cookie. Originally designed for consumer convenience, the cookie is an important tool to personalise and customise an Internet portal. Initially, portals offered only search tools but are now more personalised, enabling users to customise them by initiating their own start-up page containing their individual content, layout and colour. Furthermore portals started selling products too."

"The Right to Privacy", 2002.

Abstract
This paper examines Alderman's and Kennedy's book which is an introduction to the wide variety of privacy claims made by American citizens and the fate of those claims in the courts. It explains how the book is intended for a general readership rather than for legal scholars. It is designed as if in answer to a list of points about privacy that almost any group of Americans would produce if they were asked to name the areas of privacy in which they were most interested.
From the Paper
"In the very brief introduction the authors state that they began the book with the assumption that traditional forms of privacy are being curtailed--"whether it be the disclosure of intimate details about a person's life or interference with private decisions" (xiv). Most people feel that this is happening but have little information on how this could transpire since they often believe that some legal protection is available. After they began reviewing cases and interviewing individuals the authors discovered that the situation was even worse than they had originally thought. The purpose of their book, therefore, is to "take apart privacy and analyze the competing legal principles and societal interests" that complicate the issues (xv)."

Abstract
With more and more consumers shopping on the internet every day, the issue of the privacy of one?s personal information obtained in e-commerce transactions has raised some concerns. The paper discusses two areas of e-commerce privacy that are attracting a great deal of attention - the exploitation of personal information for marketing purposes and the accidental exposure of credit card numbers and other personal information. These issues are discussed around two court cases involving the online marketing company, DoubleClick, Inc.
From the Paper
"The problem of consumers? online privacy will continue to be an issue in e-commerce until online privacy laws are passed. The debate over e-commerce privacy legislation is a battle between consumers demanding privacy protection and businesses that fear government restrictions will hinder e-commerce (O?Neill). According to observers, the online privacy bills with the greatest chance of becoming law are yet to be introduced (O?Neill). Senator Conrad Burns of Montana is sponsoring one such bill that may soon be introduced (O?Neill). The bill would establish an opt-out system where consumers would have to click to stop web sites from gathering their personal information (O?Neill)."
