Fair Information Practice
The four critical issues identified in Fair Information Principles are:
- Noticing – data collectors must disclose their information practices before collecting personal information from consumers
- Choice – consumers must be given options with respect to whether and how personal information collected from them may be used for purposes beyond those for which the information was provided
- Access – consumers should be able to view and contest the accuracy and completeness of data collected about them
- Security – data collectors must take reasonable steps to assure that information collected from consumers is accurate and secure from unauthorized use.
In addition the Principles discuss the need for enforcement mechanisms to impose sanctions for non-compliance with fair information practices.

Famous quotes containing the words fair, information and/or practice:
“Most books belong to the house and street only, and in the fields their leaves feel very thin. They are bare and obvious, and have no halo nor haze about them. Nature lies far and fair behind them all. But this, as it proceeds from, so it addresses, what is deepest and most abiding in man. It belongs to the noontide of the day, the midsummer of the year, and after the snows have melted, and the waters evaporated in the spring, still its truth speaks freshly to our experience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is not as efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain’s strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.”
—Jeremy Campbell (b. 1931)
“The practice of S/M is the creation of pleasure.... And that’s why S/M is really a subculture. It’s a process of invention. S/M is the use of a strategic relationship as a source of pleasure.”
—Michel Foucault (1926–1984)
