Privacy Impact Assessments

The Bureau of the Public Debt conducts a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) on information systems collecting personally identifiable information from the public. We do PIAs to ensure that:

  • we tell the public the information that we collect about them,
  • we adequately address impacts these systems have on personal privacy,
  • we collect only enough personal information to administer our programs, and no more

Also, PIAs confirm that we use the information for the purpose intended; that the information remains timely and accurate; that it is protected while we have it, and we hold it only for as long as we need it.
