At what point does the sacrifice to our personal information outweigh the public good?

If public policymakers had access to our personal and confidential data, they could make more evidence-based, data-informed decisions that could accelerate economic recovery and improve COVID-19 vaccine distribution. However, access to personal data comes at a steep privacy cost for contributors, especially underrepresented groups.

Protecting Your Privacy in a Data-Driven World is a practical, nontechnical guide that explains the importance of balancing these competing needs and calls for careful consideration of how data are collected and disseminated by our government and the private sector. Not addressing these concerns can harm the same communities policymakers are trying to protect through data privacy and confidentiality legislation.

Dr. Claire McKay Bowen is the Lead Data Scientist for Privacy and Data Security at the Urban Institute. Her research focuses on developing and assessing the quality of di erentially private data synthesis methods and science communication. She holds a BS in mathematics and physics from Idaho State University and an MS and PhD in statistics from the University of Notre Dame. After completing her PhD, she worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where she investigated cosmic ray effects on supercomputers. In 2021, the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies identified her as an emerging leader in statistics for her “contributions to the development and broad dissemination of Statistics and Data Science methods and concepts, particularly in the emerging field of Data Privacy, and for leadership of technical initiatives, professional development activities, and educational programs.”

Reviews for Protecting Your Privacy in a Data-Driven World

Staffers and non-technical policy/think-tank researchers need this book. Also data users, like state demographers or public health officials, who need to understand how their data are affected by privacy preserving approaches, but who do not need to know the technical details. (Amy O'Hara, Georgetown University) I worked in the Federal Statistical system for several years on the analysis and dissemination of household survey data, preparation of public uses files, and the submission of requests to the Disclosure Review Board. Even with my experience, I found the book fascinating, comprehensive, and valuable for developing a foundation to understand traditional and emerging data privacy issues.
