</div>I'm pretty sure it's in there (don't ask me to quote chapter and verse,<br>
mind Principles 2 and 7 would seem to be candidates). Not only must it<br>
be "secure" in the cyrpto sense (i.e. SSL et al), it must also be secure<br>
within the business so that it is only accessed legitimately. For<br>
example, you probably don't care if a cashier looks up your address in<br>
their day-to-day, the janitor doing same might make you uneasy.<br>

Of course, there's what you and I think the law says and what the people<br>
who can pay for private lunches will tell those in power what the law<br>
actually says...<br>
