Privacy Rights ? Big Brother`s Bumbling
By Richard Chapo


The General Accounting Office has reported the federal government is ignoring individual privacy rights of citizens. Not only is it ignoring guidelines, the actions being taken may server to put your privacy at more risk of being violated.

Government Run Amuck

Five federal agencies are charged with using electronic data mining tools to track terrorist, catch criminals and prevent general fraudulent behavior. In using these tools, the agencies are supposed to fall a set of guidelines designed to protect your privacy. None of the agencies are doing so. In fact, they are doing just the opposite.

According to the GAO, the five federal agencies repeatedly failed to follow guidelines. These failures either ``increased the risk that personal information could be improperly exposed or altered`` or ``limited the ability of the public -- including those individuals whose information was used -- to participate in the management of that personal information.``

In investigating the situation, the GAO looked at five federal agencies. The agencies are the Agriculture Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Internal Revenue Service, Small Business Administration and State Department. The GAO found none of the agencies had complied with privacy guidelines and only three had even considered them.

Of this list, three groups are particularly worrisome. The IRS, obviously, controls incredibly delicate information for every person in the United States. The Agency has already reported problems with staff and agents giving out information over the phone to potential identity thieves. The FBI definitely needs to track terrorist and criminals, but how comfortable are you with the government sifting your person information without restriction? The Small Business Administration is particularly troubling as it collects detailed financial and background information to determine whether it should provide small business loans. Getting into that database would be like finding the Holy Grail for an identity thief.

Privacy rights are not the most glamorous of subjects and you may dismiss articles about them out of hand. You will feel differently, however, if your identity is stolen.

... with car insurance but how many people know what gap insurance is? I know that I had never heard about this type of insurance before until it was brought to my attention recently. The gap insurance covers the deprecation on a car in the event of it being stolen and never recovered. How does it work you might wonder and do you need to take it out if you have outstanding finance on the vehicle? Say you have ten thousand pounds worth of car finance on your car but when it gets stolen the insurance company says it`s only worth eight grand. It means you`ll have to find the extra two thousand pounds to pay off the finance company. If you take out gap insurance on the car, this amount will be covered, so you don`t have to find any additional money to pay off the debt. Most people buy cars and decide to keep them for a set amount of time so they know how much fina...

...and say that I had never heard of car gap insurance until recently. I suppose unless you buy a car on finance you might not know about such policies. As I understand it the car gap insurance covers you in the event of a car being stolen and never recovered or one that is deemed a total loss by the insurers. If you still owe money on the car to a finance company then the gap insurance will pay off the difference between what the insurer says the car is worth and what finance you have left on it. Some of the policies will even leave you with some money to use as a deposit on another car. It`s, probably something that many people would never even consider when they take a car out on finance. If the insurance company decides that the car is worth less than you thought it might be when it is deemed a total loss then you could have to stump up the money to pay off the bal...
