Privacy, Consumer Groups Warn of Risks of RFID Product Tracking Devices
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an item-tagging technology with
profound societal implications. Used improperly, RFID has the potential to
jeopardize consumer privacy, reduce or eliminate purchasing anonymity, and
threaten civil liberties. CDT has joined consumer organizations and privacy
advocates on a joint statement on the deployment of RFID in the consumer
environment. The statement describes the technology and its uses, defines
the risks, and discusses potential public policy approaches to mitigate the
problems. November 17, 2003
