"Woodrow N. Hartzog, a law professor who studies privacy, said that without knowing more about how private companies use the Healthcare.gov data, it’s hard to tell how worried users of the site should be. “Are third-party recipients of this information allowed to share with other people?” he asked. “Are they under an obligation to keep from trying to re-identify that information” (that is, from trying to link data to people’s real identities)? “Without transparency,” he said, “it’s really difficult to know actually how concerned we should be about this.”"
