EDITORIAL
Welcome to another brimming Free Pint. First off are some great tips
for promoting your Web site without even going online. This is
followed by a fact-packed feature article about data privacy resources
on the Web ... and why they are important to YOU. We have some great
letters from helpful readers in the Feedback section, and the Quick
Tips are again liberally scattered throughout.
Please join me in wishing our Editor, Rex Cooke, a happy first
birthday. No, he's not a talented toddler ... but has been with
Free Pint now for a year. Rex, I have decided, stands for Reliable,
Efficient and eXtremely easy to work with. Many thanks to him.
I hope you are still managing to spread the word around about
Free Pint? Why not show your support by adding a small graphic
to your site with the following code ...

QUICK TIP ... INTERNET CONSULTANCY
When asking for feedback on your Web site, don't rely on the
<A HREF="mailto:..."> tag as it won't work if the visitor's email
system isn't aware of the browser. Offer a CGI script form as well.

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
"12 Offline Ways of Promoting Your URL"
by Nikki Pilkington
So you have your website and you've done everything right on the
web - search engines, classified sites, newsgroups, bulletin boards,
link sites, mailing lists, etc etc etc.
And now you think you've exhausted the possibilities of marketing
your website and you can sit back and wait for the visitors to
roll in, right?
WRONG!
Here are 12 extra ways to promote your website without even
turning your browser on:
NUMBER ONE:
Make sure that all of your staff know your website address.
They know your telephone and fax numbers, they know your snail
mail address - they should ALL know your web site address too.
Make sure that any new staff have this information along with
the usual contact details.
NUMBER TWO:
Print your URL and email address on all letterheads, business
cards & compliment slips, in the format
http://www.yourcompany.co.uk
This way everyone that you ever come into contact with has your
web address.
NUMBER THREE
Business closed for the day? Why not put up a sign - "Open 24
hours a day on the WWW - www.yourcompany.co.uk"
Spooners Restaurant (http://www.spooners.co.uk) did this and
regularly get table bookings via email that they would usually
have missed.
NUMBER FOUR:
Include your URL in your answerphone, or line holding message.
Let people know that they can find information/buy products/
enquire about services via the world Wide web.
NUMBER FIVE:
Type your URL into your screensaver to remind staff of the
address while they are on the telephone.
This way even temping staff know the address
NUMBER SIX:
When potential clients call for information about your company,
ask them if they have Internet access and send them to your
website. This means they can have the information immediately,
without waiting for the postal system, and may help cut down
on your postage bills.
NUMBER SEVEN:
Look for unusual promotional items at holiday times - WWW
tiepins or brooches, computer shaped cookies, Christmas cards on
disks (with the obligatory link to your website) - the choice is
endless and it all draws attention to the fact that your company
is taking advantage of the latest technology.
NUMBER EIGHT:
Why not swap leaflets with one of your clients and reach a whole
new potential audience? Every brochure we send out features a
leaflet/business card from one of our clients - a favour which
they reciprocate.
NUMBER NINE:
Magnetic car stickers featuring just your company name and URL
help get you seen while you're out and about and can be a great
conversation starter!
NUMBER TEN:
Have t-shirts printed with your web address and logo - then give
them out as prizes or promotional items.
NUMBER ELEVEN:
If you're in a restaurant or hotel with a guestbook - sign it!
And don't forget to leave your web address.
These guestbooks are left in receptions all year round and people
tend to browse through them while waiting.
NUMBER TWELVE:
Make sure that any newspaper and other offline ads feature your
URL prominently - don't hide it away in the small print!

QUICK TIP ... INTERNET TRAINING
Surprisingly, a lot of business Web users don't know how to access a
Web site directly - they are used to just following links from their
Intranet homepage. Therefore when training take nothing for granted.

FEATURE ARTICLE
"Data Privacy Web Sites"
by Martin White
Before you decide that a commentary on data privacy web sites is not
for you, but just for lawyers, click on
http://www.privacyexchange.org/tbdi/EU_PDR/sectorsum.html.
It may well have escaped your attention that there is a major
difference of opinion at present between the European Union and the
USA which has the potential of bringing global business to a halt.
The problem arises from the EU Data Protection Directive that came
into force on 25 October 1998. One of the most significant sections
of this Directive is contained in Articles 25 and 26, which concern
the basis on which personal information can be exported from an EU
member state to any other country which does not have an equivalent
level of data protection legislation. The underlying aim of these
Articles is to ensure that personal data can be transferred freely
between EU member states (to facilitate job applications, for example)
but not be compromised by ending up in a country with a different
approach to data privacy.
One such country is the USA, where rules on the protection of data
privacy are administered by industry associations on a self-regulated
basis. There is no federal law that matches the rigorous principles of
EU law, and so, in theory, no personal data held in an EU country
(even if it is of a US citizen) can be legally transferred to the USA
without the express permission of the person concerned, on a
case-by-case basis, and only for a specific reason. One of the
implications of this is that the way in which personal information can
be transferred across a global intranet is potentially a highly
complex legal minefield. An outline of the issues can be found in a
TFPL White Paper that I have written on our site at
http://www.tfpl.com. Here I offer some suggestions for sites that will
inform you, worry you, and perplex you. But ignore the issue at your
peril.
International
Although the scope of Privacy International, a human rights group set
up in 1990, is much broader than data privacy, it does offer a
balanced global perspective on issues at http://www.privacy.org.
There is also an excellent newsletter, Privacy Laws and Business
International, which also provides international coverage of issues at
http://www.privacylaws.co.uk
The EU legislation
The primary source of official EU documentation on data privacy,
including important Working Papers, is the DG XV Web site at
http://europa.eu.int/comm/dg15/en/media/dataprot/index.htm. However
this site is not as complete and current as it might be. The home page
has eight brief headings, but you might as well ignore the News link,
because there is virtually nothing there, just a few press statements.
The Directive itself can be downloaded, and there are a number of
valuable reports that can be downloaded as pdf files under Studies.
These include Data Protection Law and Online Services, and Online
Services and Data Protection and the Protection of Privacy, both
around 150 pages long and very well prepared. Incidentally 'online' in
this context includes Web-based services.
The Commission was well aware of the potential problems that Articles
25 and 26 could give rise to, and set up a Working Party on the
Protection of Individuals with Regard to the Processing of Personal
Data. This Working Party has prepared some very important opinions on
data privacy issues, and they can be accessed in all the main EU
languages. However they do take time to be added to the site, probably
because all the various language versions have to be available at the
same time. The result is that the latest Working Paper, No.15, was
formally adopted by the Working Party on 29 January, but as of 23
February is not on the site. However the English version is available
through the Privacy Exchange site mentioned below.
Another indication of the poor maintenance of the site is that there
is a list of the national data privacy regulatory organisations in the
EU, but for Italy the site says that there is no Web site. Again the
Privacy Exchange site not only lists it (http://www.privacy.it) but
provides much more information than the EU site. For a topic as
important as data privacy I feel that the EU should be taking much
more care over its responsibilities to inform.
One solution to the EU/USA stand-off may be through the Model Clauses
developed by the International Chamber of Commerce for contracts
involving transborder data flow, and these are reproduced at
http://www.iccwbo.org/Commissions/Telecom_IT/Model_clauses.htm
USA sites
The first point to make about most of the US-based sites is that they
recognise that data privacy is a global issue, and that in many
respects the USA is out of line with the general view on the need for
national legislation. As a result the coverage of non-US material is
often quite good.
Http://www.privacyexchange.org is a very good example. The Privacy
Exchange is sponsored by many major US corporations, such as IBM, Dun
& Bradstreet and American Express, and it shows! Lots of good links,
including a comprehensive list of data registrars world wide.
Http://www.epic.org, from the Electronic Privacy Information Centre,
is just as good, with lists of privacy organisations in the USA, a
good list of international sites, and uniquely a list of newsgroups.
EPIC is based in Washington, and so is a good source for Federal
information. This is needed as the main US Government site, run by
the Federal Trade Commission at http://www.ftc.gov/privacy/ was last
updated in early November 1998. As a means of identifying Senate and
Congressional material it is not bad, but do not rely on it. There is
a new act that has been drafted for Senate consideration, the Online
Privacy Protection Act, and the current draft is at
http://www.senate.gov/~burns/private.htm, though the chances of this
ending up on the statute books are probably slim.
Remember Ralph Nader and Unsafe at Any Speed? Well he has moved on
from cars and has set up the Consumer Project on Technology. A
well-designed web site at http://cptech.org with good links, including
a reference to the Lexis-Nexis P-Trak controversy that hit the
headlines a couple of years ago.
Across the other side of the USA is the Electronic Frontier
Foundation, on http://www.eff.org. This has more of a civil liberties
feel to it, but is still worth bookmarking. Also based in California
is the Privacy Rights Clearing House at http://www.privacyrights.org.
As with the CPT site the focus is on consumer privacy, but the site
has an excellent list of links, including US case law. Legal issues
about data privacy, mainly in the USA but also with quite good
international coverage, are reported in Tech Law Journal at
http://www.techlawjournal.com.
One of the problem areas of data privacy is the potential mis-use in
direct marketing. The WWW site of DM News is worth monitoring at
http://www.dmnews.com, and you will find some very balanced articles
on the subject.
The newest privacy organisation is the Online Privacy Alliance,
sponsored by over 60 major US companies. The site at
http://www.privacyalliance.com is clearly still in the development
stage, but promises much.
Probably the leading expert on the area of transborder data flows is
Professor Peter Swire at Ohio State University. An interim report on
the USA/EU issue that he prepared with Robert Litton for the Brookings
Institution is essential reading on
http://www.osu.edu/units/law/swire1/noyb.htm. The book that he
subsequently wrote entitled None of Your Business was published by the
Brookings Institution Press in 1998 (http://www.brookings.edu) and is
an essential read.
Some other useful sites
The following references are to specific documents, rather than the
entire site.
Http://www.ibm.com/ibm/publicaffairs/protect/privacy will give you a
very readable short introduction to the subject.
Http://www3.ncr.com/press_release/pr100598.html gives the NCR response
to the problems that companies will have implementing data mining
technology as regards personal data.
Http://www.smithlyons.ca/it/welcome.htm is a gem of a Canadian site
run by a law firm. The opinion papers on this site are excellent, and
there are a number on the data privacy issue which give a Canadian
perspective, where there is new legislation in the pipeline.
Http://www.etno.be is the WWW site of the European Telecommunications
Network Operators association, and there are several ENTO Reflection
Documents on the site that give a telecoms industry viewpoint on the
issues.
Http://elj.warwick.ac.uk/jilt/dp/97_3ust/ustaran.htm will give you
probably the best concise summary of the current (1997) situation from
a lawyer, though the author, Eduardo Ustaran, has moved from Martineau
Johnson to Paisners. (http://www.paisner.co.uk/liveissues/index.htm
and go to e-commerce - online privacy in the dropdown menu) Almost as
good, though a little dated is
http://webjcli.ncl.ac.uk/1996/issue2/kosten2.
And finally, an interesting personal collection of oddities can be
perused at http://www.qlinks.net.
Searching the Web?
The terms data privacy and data protection are used quite
interchangeably, and there is also the term transborder data flow.
You need to construct your search statements with a degree of care.

Subject: Becoming a researcher (Free Pint #32)
From: Various
In Free Pint #32, Rik Kershaw-Moore asked ...
"For a while I have been thinking of changing my career and I would
like to become a researcher. Unfortunately I have no real idea as to
how to make this change. I was wondering if any of the other
Free Pint subscribers could throw some light on things?"
... to which we had the following responses ...
"Rik may want to look into an organization called the Association of
Independent Information Professionals http://www.aiip.org/
Most AIIP members do research for others on a project or contract
basis. The association offers all kinds of resources to people
interested in the field. I also recommend a book by Sue Rugge and
Alfred Glossbrenner called "The Information Broker's Handbook" which
outlines all the details of the research business. Rik might also
like to look at an article published in a recent issue of
ComputerEdge magazine for more information about research work.
For a picture of the Cyber Sleuth cover of ComputerEdge go to:

For the article itself go to:

Good luck!"
Cynthia L. Shamel, Shamel Information Services, cshamel@home.com
"Advice for Rik: Check out Library and Information Science programs.
There is no indication where he lives so I cannot recommend an
institution or course of study."

Subject: Using graphics from other sites
From: Jan Miller, Australia
Date: Sunday 21st February 1999
"I was interested to read Charles Oppenheim's article about Internet,
Copyright and Linking in Free Pint #29. I have a question which you
may be able to help with ...
If shareware or copyright free graphics are taken from a site and
used to embellish one's own site, is this OK? There still seems to be
some confusion even about these. We are establishing a public library
site and want to make sure this is strictly legal."

From: Rosalind Keir
Date: February 1999
"We are thinking of analysing the usage of our web site, and so are
looking for a company or product that will monitor usage of the site.

if they re-visit the web site, how they found it, etc.
