Government’s priorities for the privacy laws

Privacy and data governance issues conflict with core business objectives. As businesses of all sizes have become more dependent on the internet and online commerce, they have also become stewards of vast amounts of data. They now must navigate through a sea of emerging and evolving privacy definitions and requirements to manage both their operational and customer expectations.
Many companies use and rely on behavioral targeting and the promise of location-based data to provide services to users, but what are the privacy and data security implications? How will this data be used and can it be exploited tomorrow? How long should the data be retained?What constitutes reasonable efforts to render it anonymous and prevent discrimination practices.

INTRO: In November of 2010 the West London Citizens held what they called " a broad based community organising" in Hammersmith London.
Four people were approached to participate in this survey, for their opinions and thoughts on privacy laws.Questions were based on impact and use of the privacy law.This survey took approximately 20 minutes and respondents kept confidential as agreed.
How do you feel about current government spending on programs to educate minority women of their rights?
The government should provide a ladder of opportunity to minority women in need,through education and skills building.They will then be empowered with the tools for political participation 
What do you think the government’s role should be in relation to privacy and minority women:
To move toward policy change,the government and advocates may need to see how communities and groups prioritize specific issues. When an issue is a higher priority to community members, you can expect to see more activity in that area.We should be aware of culture as perceived by different minorities and encourage political participation.
 Technique used to assess impact of the law was to survey targets and a comparison group.
The views of two minority women targeted by advocacy work with those of their peers who were not targeted.What is your opinion about this asembly today and what are your expectatons?"I'm glad to see most of the membership of the West London Citizens are from faith based organizations because I believe it's what God calls us to do. We are unified for our voices to be heard.
