[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 466256, member: 6705"] Any PII - Personally Identifiable Information - is covered under the Privacy Act of 1974. Period. Names, addresses, Social Security numbers, telephone numbers, anything like that. That's a [I]federal[/I] law. Now - some of this stuff can be found under FOIA, Freedom of Information Act. However, PII can only be disseminated with the express permission of the owner of said information; IOW, the person themselves. Which is why, online, you can ask to have your phone number removed from the White Pages, etc. For that stuff, though, [I]not[/I] opting out is construed as permission. It's in all that fine print, too. We have to go through confidential/classified information training every year... Plus I used to work in an office where 99.5% of all paperwork was shredded due to the Privacy Act. Before it was shredded? It was literally locked up. PS: Our schools have NOTHING at the end.
