Fair information practice principles

As explained in Introduction to Generative AI, Second Edition

Fair Information Practice Principles are internationally influential privacy principles governing personal-data collection, use, disclosure, accuracy, security, and accountability.

Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs) are privacy principles for governing personal-data collection, use, disclosure, accuracy, security, and accountability. They emerged from concerns about government databases in the 1970s and became influential across national privacy frameworks. section 3.14

The original Fair Information Practices proposed in the United States in 1973 centered on:

  • Collection limitation: restrict unnecessary collection of personal data. section 3.14
  • Disclosure and secondary usage: govern how data is shared and reused. section 3.14
  • Record correction: support accuracy by allowing personal records to be corrected. section 3.14
  • Security: protect personal data from improper handling. section 3.14
  • Accountability: extend responsibility for data protection beyond the original five principles. section 3.14
