 |
|
The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) has released a report finding that federal data mining has not adhered to privacy regulations. Based on a review of data mining practices at the Small Business Administration, the Agriculture Department’s Risk Management Agency, the Internal Revenue Service, the State Department, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the GAO found that each agency practiced some, but not all, of the privacy protection measures required by law. Most agencies notify the public about the use of personal information in data mining programs, but not the purpose of the program itself. Officials fail to understand the impact data mining can have on personal privacy; none of the agencies reviewed had produced an acceptable privacy impact report.
