ALA Privacy Conference: Interview with Cory Doctorow from 20K Films on Vimeo.
To start thinking about protecting one’s privacy it’s important to understand what it means in different contexts. There are some great resources online that can help you get a sense of the kinds of personal information that you have the right to control, such as the Privacy Rights Clearing House. You may also choose to take a look at some of the available resources here at City Tech.
You may also be interested in knowing that while you are a student, your privacy is protected in a few different ways. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) provides strict guidelines for how and when student information may be shared, and in the the library, your borrowing history and research activities are protected by the American Library Association’s Bill of Rights.
