Collecting information about an individual can be carried out with ease and without the individual being aware. Problems are faced when the information is collected, combined and used in an abusive fashion. This research explores the potential for harm posed by the combination of Internet technologies and the release of personal information to vulnerable individuals. A prototype semantic web application has been designed to reduce the risk to the individual by acting upon the release of personal information.
