| Abstract: | The Globalization of Personal Data (GPD) was an international, multi-disciplinary and collaborative
research initiative drawing mainly on the social sciences but also including information, computing, technology
studies and law, that explored the implications of processing personal and population data in electronic format
from 2004 to 2008. Such data included everything from census statistics to surveillance camera images, from
biometric passports to supermarket loyalty cards. The project maintained a strong concern for ethics, politics and policy development around personal data. The project, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council
of Canada (SSHRCC) under its Initiative on the New Economy program, conducted research on why surveillance occurs,
how it operates, and what this means for people's everyday lives (See http://www.sscqueens.org/projects/gpd). The
unique aspect of the GPD included a major international survey on citizens' attitudes to issues of surveillance and
privacy. |
| Description: | There are three data files in this study. The first covers the original 7 countries surveyed in 2006 (Canada, USA, France, Spain, Hungary, Mexico, and Brazil), and the other two cover China (surveyed in 2006) and Japan (surveyed in 2007). |
