Basic rules for data protection compliance
There is yet to be a comprehensive and consolidated data protection law in the United States. In
the country, data protection is primarily regulated through a number of sector-specific federal laws
as well as state laws. Some federal privacy-related laws apply to specific categories such as
financial or health information as well as electronic communications, while others apply to
activities governing personal details such as telemarketing.
But there are general rules that cover data protection compliance. One is consent, where one
should obtain consent before acquiring, holding, or using personal data wherever possible. It is
also necessary to be careful with sensitive personal data, such as those pertaining to race,
political opinion, health status, religious belief, sexuality, and criminal offense.
Create and retain personal data only whenever absolutely necessary, and securely dispose of or
delete any personal data that is already out of date, irrelevant, or no longer required. Paper
records containing personal data about to be discarded must be treated with confidentiality. The
files must be shredded rather than disposed as waste paper.
Security is crucial. Personal data must be kept as securely as possible, such as storing them in
cabinets or in rooms that can be locked. Do not leave personal data records unattended in offices
or those accessible to the public, or keep them from being displayed on computer screens visible
to passersby.
When it comes to disclosure, consent from the individual concerned must be obtained before
placing information about him or her on the Internet, and before sending personal data outside of
the country or for worldwide transfer.
