From: "ILMAR "Lindy" LINDSTROM" ilindst1@nycap.rr.com To: NTIA Date: 6/9/98 9:47pm Subject: Privacy Issues 1.. Consumers must have no cost access to their information, if even for the purpose of verifying such information is correct. 2.. Penalties /damage should be paid to the wronged party. 3.. Issue of accountability when privacy policy is violated - accountability to whom? 4.. Question of age of consent, <12 years. Many kids <12 have considerable computer skills. Anyone of them could cause lot of damage, misinformation etc. Anyone can misrepresent their age. 5.. Consumers must have the option of having a password allowing the collection of information, regardless of age. 6.. Anyone should not able to "Verify" the information collected on a consumer. Again misrepresentation. See password option above. 7.. Disclosure to third parties - A consumer should have the option of selecting specific third parties, or "Blanket" disclosure. A consumer must have the ability to determine if information has been disclosed to third parties, approved or not. 8.. Until such a time as the above has been chipped in rock, I will not complete surveys, information requests, nor order on line. ilindst1@nycap.rr.com
