## Section 1:  General Issuance Information 1.1.  Applicability.

a.  This issuance applies to OSD, the Military Departments, the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Joint Staff, the Combatant Commands, the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Defense (OIG DoD), the Defense Agencies, the DoD Field Activities, and all other organizational entities within the DoD, including the DoD Intelligence Components (referred to collectively in this issuance as the "DoD Components").

b.  Nothing in this issuance will infringe on the OIG DoD's statutory independence and authority as articulated in the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, in the Appendix of Title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.).  In the event of any conflict between this issuance and the OIG DoD's statutory independence and authority, the Inspector General Act of 1978 takes precedence.

## 1.2.  Policy.

a.  All DoD Components will:
(1)  Establish and maintain comprehensive privacy and civil liberties programs that comply with applicable statutory, regulatory, and policy requirements, and develop and evaluate privacy and civil liberties policies and manage privacy risks.
(2)  Comply with all applicable:
(a)  Privacy and civil liberties related laws, regulations, and policies, including the requirements of Section 552(a) of Title 5, U.S.C., also known and referred to in this issuance as "the Privacy Act of 1974," and ensure that Privacy Act system of records notices (SORNs) are published, revised, and rescinded, as required.

(b)  Executive orders, Intelligence Community directives, and other applicable guidance to DoD Components conducting intelligence activities with respect to privacy and civil liberties matters (e.g., Executive Order 12333 and DoD Manual 5240.01).
(3)  Limit the creation, collection, use, processing, storage, maintenance, dissemination, and disclosure of personally identifiable information (PII) maintained in a system of records to that which is legally authorized, relevant, and reasonably deemed necessary to accomplish a DoD function.
(4)  Maintain all records with PII in accordance with applicable records retention or disposition schedules approved by the National Archives and Records Administration.
(5)  Impose conditions, where appropriate, when sharing PII with other federal and nonfederal agencies or entities (including the selection and implementation of particular security and privacy controls) that govern the creation, collection, use, processing, storage, maintenance, dissemination, disclosure, and disposal of the PII.  This will be accomplished using written agreements, including contracts, data use agreements, information exchange agreements, and memoranda of understanding when appropriate.

(6)  Maintain adequate procedures to receive, investigate, respond to, and redress complaints from individuals who allege that the DoD has violated their privacy or civil liberties.
(7)  In accordance with Section 2000ee-1 of Title 42, U.S.C., prohibit reprisals or threats of reprisal against individuals who make complaints to DoD privacy and civil liberties program officials or the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board indicating a possible violation of privacy protections or civil liberties in the administration of Federal Government programs relating to efforts to protect the Nation from terrorism, unless the complaint was made or the information was disclosed with the knowledge that it was false or with willful disregard for its truth or falsity.

b.  This issuance does not create any rights, privileges, or benefits, substantive or procedural, enforceable by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, other entities, its officers, or any other persons.

## 1.3.  Summary Of Change 1.  The Changes To This Issuance:

a.  Are a result of a realignment of responsibilities within several DoD Components.

(a)  The specific purpose or purposes for which the information is intended to be used.

(b)  The authority for collection.
(c)  How the PII may be used. (d)  Whether disclosing of such information is mandatory or voluntary.
(e)  The consequences to the individual of not providing that information.
b.  The records used in any determination about any individual will be maintained with such accuracy, relevancy, timeliness, and completeness as is reasonably necessary to assure fairness to the individual in the determination.

c.  OSD and DoD Components will establish appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to ensure the security and confidentiality of records and to protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to their security or integrity that could result in substantial harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to any individual on whom information is maintained.

d.  OSD and DoD Components will make reasonable efforts to ensure records are accurate, timely, and relevant for DoD's purposes before disseminating any record about an individual to any person or to another federal or non-federal agency.  This requirement does not apply if the record is being released pursuant to Section 552 of Title 5, U.S.C., also known and referred to in this issuance as the "Freedom of Information Act."
e.  Disclosing records pertaining to an individual from a system of records is prohibited in the absence of the individual's consent except as authorized by the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Freedom of Information Act.

f.  Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, no record will be maintained on how an individual exercises rights guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, except:

(1)  When expressly authorized by statute. (2)  When expressly authorized by the individual who is the subject of the record.
(3)  When the record is pertinent to and within the scope of an authorized law enforcement activity.

g.  Protected health information will be disclosed in accordance with DoD Manual 6025.18
or its successor issuance.  Questions regarding the disclosure of protected health information should be referred to the Defense Health Agency Privacy and Civil Liberties Office.

h.  OSD and DoD Components will report any unauthorized disclosures of PII from a system of records to the applicable SCOP or PCLO.

5.2.  FAIR INFORMATION PRACTICE PRINCIPLES (FIPPs).  OSD and DoD
Components are expected to consider the FIPPs when evaluating information systems, processes, programs, and activities that affect individual privacy consistent with the DoD mission and privacy program requirements.  To the extent a particular principle cannot be implemented, other principles should be used to compensate for the privacy and civil liberties risks identified.  For the purposes of this issuance, the FIPPs are:
a.  Access and Amendment.  Provide individuals with appropriate access to PII and appropriate opportunity to correct or amend PII.

b.  Accountability.  Hold personnel accountable for complying with measures that implement the FIPPs and applicable privacy requirements, and appropriately monitor, audit, and document compliance.  Clearly define the roles and responsibilities with respect to PII for all employees and contractors, and provide appropriate training to all employees and contractors who have access to PII.
c.  Authority.  Create, collect, use, process, store, maintain, disseminate, or disclose PII only with the proper authority to do so and identify this authority in the appropriate notice.
d.  Minimization.  Create, collect, use, process, store, maintain, disseminate, or disclose PII
only when it is directly relevant and necessary to accomplish a legally authorized purpose, and only maintain PII for as long as is necessary to accomplish the purpose.
e.  Quality and Integrity.  Create, collect, use, process, store, maintain, disseminate, or disclose PII with such accuracy, relevance, timeliness, and completeness as is reasonably necessary to ensure fairness to the individual.
f.  Individual Participation.  Involve the individual in the process of using PII and, to the extent practicable, seek individual consent for creating, collecting, using, processing, storing, maintaining, disseminating, or disclosing PII.  Establish procedures to receive and address individuals' privacy-related complaints and inquiries.
g.  Purpose Specification and Use Limitation.  Specify the purpose for which PII is collected and only use, process, store, maintain, disseminate, or disclose PII for a purpose that is explained in the public notice and is compatible with the purpose for which the PII was collected, or that is otherwise legally authorized.
h.  Security.  Establish administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect PII
commensurate with the risk and magnitude of the harm that would result from its unauthorized access, use, modification, loss, destruction, dissemination, or disclosure.
i.  Transparency.  Be transparent about information policies and practices with respect to PII, and provide clear and accessible notice regarding creation, collection, use, processing, storage, maintenance, dissemination, and disclosure of PII.
