This does not concern Personal Employee Information such as Social Security Numbers, addresses, and other information which is typically retained by an employer for every employee. This article concerns information which is retained by an employee on his employer's conmputer. The title for this article is misleading.

It is notable that the court in this case is deciding if the person's privacy rights have been violated after they are privy to the information. It is easier to say that someone's rights have not been violated when they were stealing huge amounts of money. If someone is innocent and they wrongfully search your private computer, what injury would they be allowed to claim in court; how would you calculate damages for the injury. The best wisdom to tell someone at this point is do not co-mingle your personal and home information but try telling that to the people selling blackberries.
