The U.S. Supreme Court is set to determine whether U.S. companies have a constitutional privacy right.
The privacy case Federal Communications Commission v. AT&T, Inc., No. 09-1279, will consider whether U.S. corporations have privacy protection under provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, similar to personal privacy protection under U.S. law.
AT&T is seeking to invoke privacy provisions to block an attempt by the F.C.C. to obtain private, confidential business data and documents, related to a federal investigation currently being conducted by the F.C.C. into telecommunication fee overcharging allegations.
This case will likely have significant impact on the protection of sensitive corporate data and documents for U.S. companies and companies trading in the U.S. (ie. companies that sell products and services to U.S. consumers).
