The Denver Channel is reporting that a Colorado woman is suing a large electronics retailer for selling a floor model computer onto which staff had copied loads of her personal information: TheDenverChannel.com - News - Store's Floor Model Computer Loaded With Woman's Personal Info. The retailer is arguing that it owes the woman no duty of care.
This reminded me of a complaint made to the Canadian Privacy Commissioner about a defective computer that was returned, refurbished and resold, complete with the original purchaser's personal information.
