Privacy

See w:privacy and especially w:consumer privacy for a general overview.

Privacy issues in Consumerium include:

• Protection of the consumer from unauthorized identification and the threats resulting from this - making sure user data is very anonymized
• Protection of the retailers' sensitive information, mainly prices, remember they have their own w:customer privacy and competitive concerns
• Protection of everyone from the Consumerium Governance Organization and it's operatives. This may include logging and publishing all SQL queries made by staff (see also Transparent Consumerium for a strategy to ensure this, and w:carceral state for what happens if one doesn't do this)
