Alan Westin (1929-2013) was a Professor of Public Law and Government at Columbia University. His research in the 1960s is widely seen as the first significant work on the problem of consumer privacy and data protection. His 1967 book Privacy and Freedom was a pioneering work that prompted U.S. privacy legislation and helped launch global privacy movements in many democratic nations in the 1960s and 1970s.
