CDT and EFF today released a joint report examining the use of analytics tools on federal agency Web sites. Analytics typically track user behavior on a site; the data is used to create a better user experience. The report analyzes existing policy and makes recommendations for how federal agency Web sites can use analytics tools while protecting citizen privacy. Agency Web sites will play a key role in the Administration’s plan to create an environment that fosters a more participatory government, but new uses of technology must be approached with special attention given to privacy.

“The public has the right to know about information collected, disseminated and maintained by the government in order to increase accountability and public awareness. CDT believes that the Internet is an ideal medium for gaining greater public access to government information.”
