Group sets RFID rules
The Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) Working Group on RFID has formed certain rules and guild lines for the companies using RFID tags. The working group consists of Cisco Systems, IBM, Intel, the National Consumers League, Procter & Gamble Co. and VeriSign.
The Working Group directs the companies using RFID technology to inform their customers about the every aspects of this latest technology and make sure they know whether they can deactivate tags.
The draft report prepared by CDT says,
There should be no secret RFID tags or readers. By merely informing the consumers, the companies cannot avoid the privacy concerns. The customers should be informed how the data is used. The companies should work as per wishes of the customers.
