The Department of Human Services is committed to protecting the personal and confidential information of clients and employees. Our clients and employees expect the department to protect confidential information - - just as you expect your information to be protected by financial institutions, health care providers and others. That makes us responsible to protect confidential information from unauthorized access, disclosure, duplication/modification, loss, misuse or theft - - whether it be accidental or intentional.

Privacy is a right that people have; Security is the protection of that right.
