Abstract

Deterrence-based approaches to privacy enforcement rely on an overlooked and often false premise–that firms know what their own data practices are. There is good reason for skepticism because operational information tends to become siloed within firm subunits. Information about data management is no different. Firms may neglect to memorialize relevant information in reports for internal distribution. And even if such reports are generated, they may not be presented in a manner that is intelligible across firm constituencies.
