Keeping Business Out Of The Bedroom: Protecting Personal Privacy Interests From The Retail World, 15 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 391 (1997), David J. Klein

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The federal government as well as private companies maintain personality profile lists containing records of personal information touching on many aspects of an individual's life.

The Taiwan Consumer Protection Law: Attempt To Protect Consumers Proves Ineffective, Carol T. Juang Jan 1997

The Taiwan Consumer Protection Law: Attempt To Protect Consumers Proves Ineffective, Carol T. Juang

Such consumer choice exists when two fundamental conditions are present: (l) there must be a range …
