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.
