About

Privacy for Sale is a media campaign based on the implications of living in a surveillance society. The campaign highlights how much personal information we give away everyday through surveillance cameras, the web and electronic tagging. It questions where we draw the line between a breach of our privacy and safely disclosed information and if these lines are being blurred.

The campaign demonstrates how your privacy is up for sale based on how easily your information is collected from you everyday. We aim to show you how our lives are being documented online from the aggregation of the information we disclose.

We hope to show you that even if your information has not have been exploited YET it might still be used in the future. You can only avoid it NOW.

This media campaign is the thesis work of 3 students doing a BSC in Multimedia at Dublin City University; Robin Cafolla, Olivia Farrell and Eimear Fitzmaurice.

Great work Eimear, Olivia & Robin. Only this morning my colleague came into work upset because her credit card had been copied and a transaction processed to the value of $300 last Friday in the States whilst she was in Dublin. When she used her card in Dublin, her Bank realised that she couldnt be in Dublin and the States on the same day and know there was some illegal activity happening. Fantastic awareness campaign and great work by you guys - keep up the good work!

Great website, I fully agree with the caution one must take when sharing their information with the outside world and on the internet. However I found it ironic that you left your full names in the About section, I was able to locate everyone with great ease.
