U.S. retail giant Wal-Mart recently announced that it wants its top 100 suppliers, by 2005, to begin fitting their cases and pallets with RFID tags - tiny microchips that can automatically transmit to a special scanner all of the information about a container's contents or about individual products. RFID technology has a number of privacy implications. This paper was produced: as an educational tool to help the public understand what an RFID is; to help focus attention on the privacy issues; and to advance the privacy principles that need to be considered by businesses during the design and use of this technology.
