Chinese Summary/中文概要: 美國個人隱私權法律界的權威
了解隱私權益建立一個互相尊重與信賴的未來
尊重個人隱私是基本的人權,但是進入電子化的二十一世紀,人們面對面的機會減少,網路相遇的機會增多,個人隱私權的問題漸漸成為重要的社會議題。
許多人將零碎的個人資訊放在網際網路上永久保存,只要藉由Google搜尋,人們便可以找到這些資訊。尤其使用Facebook和MySpace這類社交網站人的數量十分驚人,在美國,90%以上的學生擁有自己的網誌。但是這種網路開放性,使人們無需經由出版、廣播或是其他傳統媒體,便可將自己的想法傳播出去,但這種轉變也會為個人隱私和名譽帶來重大威脅。例如網路就是利用「cookies」技術蒐集到許多個人資訊。「cookies」就是當進入一個網站時,有些網站會在電腦裡留下「cookies」,當再進這個網站時,因為記錄上次的行為,再次進入時,網站上所呈現的資訊大概就是之前想要找的資料。只要是有心人士,網站也可依據先前電腦上的「cookies」知道一個人以前去過哪網站、做過什麼事。
所以現今社會隱私權的問題無所不在,尤其網路上不論身處何處,每個人的隱私權都不可能得到百分之百的保障,而了解自身的隱私權益,才能在網路發達的世界建立一個互相尊重與信賴的未來。

Awards/获奖情况: Daniel Solove offers a unique, challenging account of how to think better about-- and of-- privacy. No scholar in America is more committed to demystifying "the right to privacy".---Anita L. Allen, University of Pennsylvania Law School
Daniel Solove has had the patience and insight to lay privacy bare. This is the most thorough and persuasive conceptualization of privacy written to date. Solove’s taxonomy of privacy will become the standard tool for analyzing privacy problems.---Peter P. Swire, C. William O’Neill Professor of Law and Judicial Administration, Ohio State University
One of the topic’s most prolific and thoughtful thinkers, Daniel Solove has written a clear and comprehensive analysis of privacy. In it, he explains why it has been so hard to conceptualize this thing called privacy, and provides a pragmatic, bottom-up understanding. This book will promote sharper thinking and analysis for the next generation of privacy scholarship and policy.---Jerry Kang, University of California, Los Angeles School of Law
