business affiliation, account
information, and passwords. Passwords
are encrypted and used as part of the log
in process for verification of appropriate

II. Privacy Act
The Privacy Act embodies fair
information principles in a statutory
framework governing the means by
which the federal government agencies
collect, maintain, use, and disseminate
individuals’ records. The Privacy Act
applies to information that is
maintained in a ‘‘system of records.’’ A
‘‘system of records’’ is a group of any
records under the control of an agency
from which information is retrieved by
the name of an individual or by some
identifying number, symbol, or other
identifying particular assigned to the
individual. In the Privacy Act, an
individual is defined to encompass
United States citizens and lawful
permanent residents. As a matter of
policy, DHS extends administrative
Privacy Act protections to all
individuals where systems of records
maintain information on U.S. citizens,
lawful permanent residents, and
visitors. Individuals may request access
to their own records that are maintained
in a system of records in the possession
or under the control of DHS by
complying with DHS Privacy Act
regulations, 6 CFR part 5.
The Privacy Act requires each agency
to publish in the Federal Register a
description denoting the type and

VerDate Mar<15>2010

15:05 Nov 26, 2012

Jkt 229001

character of each system of records that
the agency maintains, and the routine
uses that are contained in each system
in order to make agency record keeping
practices transparent, to notify
individuals regarding the uses to which
their records are put, and to assist
individuals to more easily find such
files within the agency. Below is the
description of DHS/ALL–004 General
Information Technology Access
Account Records System of Records.
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r),
DHS has provided a report of this
system of records to the Office of
Management and Budget and to
Congress.
