Privacy

State agencies rely on collecting and using personal information to deliver important government services. Protecting this information is essential to maintaining public trust, and personal data must be managed consistently, transparently, and in accordance with applicable law.

The Privacy and AI team is focused on articulating core privacy principles, supporting their practical application, and using established frameworks to translate those principles into agency-relevant guidance.

Collaboration with state agencies, professional organizations, and other important EIS programs, particularly Cyber Security Services and Data Governance and Transparency, is critical. This partnership informs the development of clear guidance and practical tools that help make privacy resources easier for agencies to find and apply.

Over time, the program aims to support more mature and consistent privacy practices across state government by providing clear direction and practical tools to help agencies.
