Every time you fill out a questionnaire, register at an online website, or pass your grocery rewards card through an electronic scanner. your personal information becomes part of a database containing your personal sta-tistical information. You cannot avoid the fact that in this information age, data col-lection and analysis are an integral part of our day-to-day activities.
