The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency conducts a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) on information systems collecting personally identifiable information from the public. We prepare PIAs to:
-
ensure information handling conforms to applicable legal, regulatory, and policy requirements regarding privacy,
- determine the risks and effects of collecting, maintaining, and disseminating information in identifiable form in an electronic information system,
- examine and evaluate protections and alternative processes for handling information to mitigate potential privacy risks.
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.
