Information flow is at the heart of today’s economy, and information practices are at the heart of great debate, from boardrooms to focus groups to state capitals. As technology has grown, so has the concern from consumers regarding the collection and use of personal information as it relates to privacy. As a result, we have collected thoughtful, research-based data to contribute to the nation’s dialogue on privacy.

We’re also working with businesses, consumer groups and the government to find the best ideas and solutions regarding both online and off-line privacy. If we are to build a climate of trust between consumers and businesses, we think it is critical that a variety of views and ideas be heard.
