Document Summary
Ethics: the principles and standards that guide our behaviour toward other people. Privacy: is the right to be left alone when you want to be, to have control over your own personal possessions and not to be observed without your consent. Confidentiality: is the assurance that messages and information are available only to those who are authorized to view them. One of the main ingredients of trust is privacy. Privacy continues to be one of the primary barriers to the growth of e-business. Information ethics concerns the ethical and moral issues arising from the development and use of information technologies and systems, as well as the creation, collection, duplication, distribution and processing of information itself. Information ethics in the workplace: systems that don"t respect human dignity, employee monitoring, tracking peoples activities, protecting digital content. Information technology monitoring is tracking peoples activities by such measures as number of keystrokes, error rate, and number of transactions processed.
