These data have many benefits, but they can also be accessed and exploited by third parties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing rich examples from popular culture and empirical research, Deborah Lupton develops a fresh and intriguing perspective on how people make sense of and use their personal data, and what they know about others who use this information.
