This
program addresses an important phenomenon of the digital age: the
dissemination of sensitive personal information in "public" records.
Courthouse records are open to the public because transparency and
accountability are essential to our democratic system of government. But many
of these records contain sensitive personal information, such as Social
Security numbers, medical and financial data, and information about minor
children. Data mining companies purchase court records in bulk, using them for
credit checks, employee background checks, and other purposes unknown to the
citizens who are affected by the disclosure of the information. This means there
are significant privacy concerns associated with court records, especially when
they are disclosed in digital form. The speakers for this program include
privacy advocates and experts on public access to government records.
