Abstract :
The practice of profiling can bring individuals´ civil liberties and privacy into conflict with apparently legitimate applications of data collection, manipulation, and filtering. Certain aspects of the information environment enable the access, collection, collation, and analysis of large databases containing personal information from public and private sources. There are significant social implications and consequences of such collection, manipulation, and analyses
