INFORMATION MANAGEMENT & TECHNOLOGY

Topic 2

There are vast quantities of consumer data available today. For example, every time you use your grocery store loyalty card, data about what you purchased is collected, analyzed, and saved. These data in the hands of population health professionals can contribute to the creation of healthy lifestyle programs.

Should there be regulations on how these consumer data are used? (Include your rationale for your response.)
