Abstract
In under a decade the internet has changed our lives. Now we can shop, bank, date, research, learn and communicate online and every time we do we leave behind a trail of personal information. Organisations have a wealth of structured information about individuals on large numbers of databases. What does the intersection of this information mean for the individual? How much of your personal data is out there and more importantly, just who has access to it? As stories of identity theft and online fraud fill the media internet users are becoming increasingly nervous about their online data security. Also what opportunities arise for individuals to exploit this information for their own benefit?
