Privacy

Privacy

State agencies collect and use personal information to deliver services, administer programs, and meet legal obligations. The Enterprise Privacy Guidance provides statewide guidance for agency handling of personal information. This guidance is grounded in the Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs), the National Institutes of Science and Technology (NIST) Privacy Framework, and the Oregon Information Asset Classification Policy and provides:

  • Statewide privacy principles for managing personal information
  • A recommended set of privacy controls organized by information classification level
  • A checklist for evaluating new or changed uses of personal information
  • Recommendations for agency level privacy roles and oversight

Applicability

The Enterprise Privacy Guidance is optional but recommended to all executive branch agencies under the jurisdiction of the State Chief Information Officer and applies to:

  • The collection, use, sharing, storage, and disposal of personal information for state business purposes
  • Contractors or third parties processing personal data on behalf of those agencies

Where stricter legal or regulatory requirements exist those requirements take precedence.
