Finding Coverage for Privacy Regulatory-Imposed Civil Fines and Penalties
Is coverage for violations of privacy laws and regulations readily available? The current marketplace does offer a variety of options when it comes to purchasing data privacy and security protections. So, while you may easily find third party identity theft and security breach protections for your clients, coverage for privacy regulatory-imposed civil fines or penalties can be more difficult to secure.

New Worries in Ecommerce
The increasing prevalence of ecommerce, social networks and other technological advances offer unprecedented convenience and access to shopping, paying your bills and interacting with the world. With these benefits, there are dangers in putting personally identifiable information on the internet that go beyond the obvious stolen credit card or social security numbers.

We discussed just this type of occurrence in one of our most popular posts, Video of DEA Agent Shooting Himself Prompts Lawsuit. Forbes has now set up a whole slideshow of Streisand Effect scenarios (go to the Tech Dirt article for the direct link). All of these are excellent examples of why legal action is not always the best action.

Search Habits
You must have read by now that AOL released a section of its subscribers’ search log data to the public and got a lot of grief because of it— as the data can be used to identify the actual searcher. It is indeed a privacy issue. AOL has since pulled the data but, you know, nothing on the Internet really disappears. To gain insights into our own customer base, we checked the search log data for searches of “Euclid Managers.” Here’s a sampling of what AOL users who search for Euclid Managers also search for:
