Who holds your data and what they can do
Why it connects to…
AI systems are trained on, and make inferences from, personal data; privacy law decides what can be collected and how it can be used.
Surveillance tools, facial recognition and data access by police raise privacy and Fourth Amendment questions.
Platforms collect the data; privacy law governs what they can do with it.
Surveillance of protest, speech and personal life is a civil-liberties question as much as a data one.
FISA and intelligence surveillance authorities set the boundary between security and privacy.
Health data, reproductive-health records and location data are the most sensitive categories in privacy law.
