Following on from a successful public policy seminar run on the 30th June 2009, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Cyber Security Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) are pleased to announce the publication of a booklet based on the seminar called 'Assessing Privacy Impact'.

The booklet provides important insights from leading academics, industry experts and information regulators into the whole debate around who knows what about us, whether they need to, and the treatment of often sensitive data.
