She is co-founder and Vice President (VP) of StartMail.com, which provides private, AI-free, encrypted email accounts, and she is a spokesperson against Artificial Intelligence. Albrecht was an early opponent of radio-frequency identification (RFID), and devised the term "spy chips" to describe RFID tags such as those embedded in passport cards and certain enhanced United States driver's licenses. Albrecht holds a Doctorate in Human Development and Psychology, with a concentration in Adult Development and Consumer Education, from Harvard University.

Publications
Books Albrecht and Liz McIntyre co-authored the book Spychips: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Move, which won the November 2005 Lysander Spooner Award for advancing the literature of liberty. The book laid out the potential implications of RFID on privacy and civil liberties and planned uses, citing patents and plans by the retail industry. RFID industry representatives criticized it, claiming the authors exaggerate some RFID privacy threats. In a lengthy rebuttal, Albrecht asked why critics don't "mention sworn patent documents from IBM describing ways to secretly follow innocent people in libraries, theaters, and public restrooms through the RFID tags in their clothes and belongings? Where is […] outrage over BellSouth's patent-pending plans to pick through our garbage and skim the data contained in the RFID tags we discard?" Articles and papers • Albrecht, Katherine.
