   How should you address me? Professor Cranor and Dr. Cranor are both fine if this
   is a professional context where titles are used. Outside of professional contexts
   you may use Dr. Cranor or Ms. Cranor. Please do not address me as Mrs. Cranor in
   any context. If we're not using titles, then Lorrie is just fine. If you can't
   decide whether to be formal or not, Professor Lorrie will also do. I use my full
   name Lorrie Faith Cranor in my publications, but no need to include my middle
   name elsewhere. Pronouns: she/her.

Consulting
       I have consulted for companies and non-profits on privacy policies, P3P,
       usable privacy and security, and technology policy. I have also served as an
       expert witness in patent litigation and in privacy cases, and in cases
       challenging the constitutionality of Internet harmful-to-minors laws,
       including the [156]ACLU's successful challenge to the 1998 Children's Online
       Protection Act. I currently do expert witness consulting through [157]Harbor
       Labs.

Personal
       I spend most of my free time with my husband ([158]Chuck), son ([159]Shane),
       and daughters ([160]Maya and [161]Nina). I walk to work, practice yoga, take
       lots of [162]photos, and design and create [163]quilts. I also serve as an
       elected [164]election judge, [165]SciTech PTO President, and [166]Dynamoms
       women's soccer commissioner.
