Abstract:
This memorandum directs Departments and Agencies to post clear privacy policies on World Wide Web sites, and provides guidance for doing so. As a first priority, you must post privacy policies to your Department or Agency's principal web site by September 1, 1999. By December 1, 1999, add privacy policies to any other known, major entry points to your sites as well as at any web page where you collect substantial personal information from the public. Each policy must clearly and concisely inform visitors to the site what information the agency collects about individuals, why the agency collects it, and how the agency will use it. Privacy policies must be clearly labeled and easily accessed when someone visits a web site.
