Situated in the context of education, the authors explore how policies in school systems and regulatory bodies are needed to match the contingencies created by technological advances. With the power of technology to document many aspects of everyday life, there is a pressing need to manage how much personal information is available to corporate entities. Building on current events, the authors outline some of the risks with ubiquitous surveillance and data capture, which threaten personal choice, reputation and online identity. Student readers are encouraged to think deeply about the implications for society when personal choices for information are curated to their preferences. This book also contains digital privacy case studies developed by graduate students and shared for teaching and learning purposes.</span></p>
