"There are few resources available for nonspecialists to learn about data privacy issues. This book fills this gap by providing a comprehensive overview of issues relevant to ordinary citizens, in language understandable by all."--Carl H. Coleman, Professor of Law, Seton Hall University School of Law "A practical primer for anyone wishing to understand why and how their data is being used--and how individuals can attempt to protect themselves. Our Data, Ourselves also offers an overview of existing privacy protections and is ultimately a damning glimpse into the lack thereof in the United States."--David Hickton, Founding Director, Pitt Cyber
