Abstract
This article explores the ethical problems resulting from our technological capability for database sharing where consumers have given consent for access to private information only to a specific second party. The implications of the problem for web-marketing and consumer trust are extensive. Mason's four party model of the information sharing process is used to define the problems created by database sharing. The arguments of the classical rule-deontologist, Immanuel Kant, demonstrate rather than merely claim the existence of a serious ethical problem situation.
