A system of records is a file, database, or program
from which personal information is retrieved by name or other personal
identifier. The Privacy Act provides a number of protections for your personal
information. These typically include how information is collected, used,
disclosed, stored, and disposed.
As part of our privacy policy, VA conducts an annual review of our Privacy Act system of record notices to make sure that they are current and republishes those that require changes or updates.
