Our Internet Privacy Policy |
The privacy of our customers has always been of utmost importance to the Social Security Administration. In fact, our first regulation (see http://www.socialsecurity.gov/OP_Home/cfr20/401/401-0000.htm) was written to ensure your privacy. As a Federal agency, the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) requires us to protect the information we collect from you. (See http://www.socialsecurity.gov/privacyact.htm ). The privacy policy outlined below applies to the data we collect from you over the Internet. This is our notice to you about why we collect your personal information, how we use it, and who we share it with; what your choices are for how we use your information; how to get access to your information; and how we protect the information we collect and maintain. |
