 New technologies
Many new technologies involve the handling of personal information and
therefore have the potential to impact on our privacy.

• Bluetooth technology
• Transport technologies such as electronic tolls, GPS navigation systems and
automatic number plate recognition systems
• Smart cards (credit cards with a chip)
• Radio-frequency identification (RFIDs) tags on goods you purchase
• Biometrics (facial recognition e.g. new passports).

Recommend: Advise organizations as to the potential privacy risks and

developing a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) This is an good way to
identify and minimize privacy impacts within your company.
 The Federal Trade Commission is educating businesses about the
importance of personal information privacy and security

they collect, use and secure consumers' personal information.
