X Abstract

Many long-standing technologies embody the ability to locate and track people. During the last couple of decades of the twentieth century, new technologies have been developed which greatly increase those capabilities. The nature of these technologies is described, and the processes identified whereby they are being applied to the serious detriment of civil freedoms. Implications are drawn for technology-using organisations, for technology providers, for standards developers, for policy makers, and for privacy and data protection commissioners.
