Privacy Policy - Fair Information Practice

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:

    A good leg will fall, a straight back will stoop, a black beard will turn white, a fair face will wither, a full eye will wax hollow, but a good heart, Kate, is the sun and the moon—or rather the sun and not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes, but keeps his course truly.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When action grows unprofitable, gather information; when information grows unprofitable, sleep.
    Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)

    I am out of practice at living.
    You are as brave as a motorcycle.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
