Privacy Impact Assessments are required by the E-Government Act of 2002 and are used to identify and mitigate privacy risks in information technology systems, projects, and programs.

A privacy impact assessment is:

  • An analysis of what Personally Identifiable Information is being collected.
  • Why the Personally Identifiable Information is being collected.
  • How the Personally Identifiable Information will be collected, used, accessed, shared, safeguarded and stored.

Privacy Impact Assessments are consistently reviewed to ensure they are accurate and up to date.
