The Code of Fair Information Practices is based on five

principles outlining the requirements for records keeping
systems. This requirement was implemented in 1973 by
the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare.

 There must be no personal data record-keeping systems

whose very existence is secret.

 There must be a way for a person to find out what

information about the person is in a record and how it is
used.
 There must be a way for a person to prevent information about the
person that was obtained for one purpose from being used or made
available for other purposes without the person's consent.

 There must be a way for a person to correct or amend a record of

identifiable information about the person.

 Any organization creating, maintaining, using, or disseminating

records of identifiable personal data must assure the reliability of
the data for their intended use and must take precautions to prevent
misuses of the data.
