Information about individuals protected by The Privacy Act that is collected, used or maintained in systems of records is described in notices as published in the Federal Register. The notices are also available for public viewing on this website. The notices describe the information we have, how we use it, how we may disclose it, and how you may review and contest it.
The E-Government Act of 2002 requires us to review the way information about individuals is treated when information technology is used to collect new information, or when new or substantially changed IT systems are developed or purchased to handle collections of personally identifiable information.
