Here is the international guidelines set by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development). Also see the primer that I wrote earlier this year about privacy and why it is important. The development of automatic data processing, which enables vast quantities of data to be transmitted within seconds across national frontiers, and indeed across continents, has made it necessary to consider privacy protection in relation to personal data. Privacy protection laws have been introduced, or will be introduced shortly, in approximately one half of OECD Member countries (Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden and the United States have passed legislation. Belgium, Iceland, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland have prepared draft bills) to prevent what are considered to be violations of fundamental human rights, such as the unlawful storage of personal data, the storage of inaccurate personal data, or the abuse or unauthorised disclosure of such data.OnOn [...] […] Along with balancing the rules that govern Intellectual Property, the battles over the protection of personal data become another area of potential conflict within a society where information storage and retrieval devices have become cheap and ubiquitous.

One day I finally had enough information to test my theory. Someone sent me a copy of one of the memos that was send out to one of the larger groups. It detailed the transition of a very important vice president to “special projects”. For those of you not accustom to the corporate world, that is double talk for the professional equivalant of the round file.

In particular, I thought that someone was embedding information into the emails to be tracked at a later date. This was in an attempt to stop employees from sending corporate confidential emails to third parties without concent - particularly fuckedcompany.com (the owner of which now runs Adbright, as an aside) and internalmemos.com, among others.
