Law and Practice

behavior monitoring

privacy

• Most situations covered by “self-regulation”
• Only statute/regulation for special circumstances

Others

13. Privacy Concerns
with Glass
• Many concerned about “voyeurism” of Glass
• Broader question of Google collection/use of
information
• Glass’ form factor, ubiquity makes it different
from smartphones
• Little or no information available about Google
collection processes
• Even users cannot offer privacy policies for
Glass

15. Proposal: FCC
Approval Process
and Privacy
Disclosure
• Wireless devices already need FCC approval
• FCC separately regulates wireless carriers’
privacy practices
• Proposal: add privacy disclosure to FCC device
approval
• Would mandate public availability, accuracy,
updates
• Would provide better redress, easier
implementation
