5. Privacy Basics. BlueStep encourages its clients, including LiftAmerica, to develop and implement a privacy policy that complies substantially with the fair information practice principles promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission. Here is a brief summary of the core principles that should be included in a comprehensive privacy policy.
The Notice/Awareness principle requires that consumers be given notice of a company's information practices before personal information is collected from them. The scope and content of the notice will vary with a company's substantive information practices, but the notice itself is essential. The Choice/Consent principle requires that consumers be given options with respect to whether and how personal information collected from them may be used. The Access/Participation principle requires that consumers be given reasonable access to information collected about them and the ability to verify and update that data's accuracy and completeness. The Integrity/Security principle requires that companies take reasonable steps to assure that information collected from consumers is accurate and secure from unauthorized use.
For additional information, you can go to http://www.ftc.gov/reports/privacy3/toc.htm and review the FTC document dated June 1998, entitled "Privacy Online: A Report To Congress". This Report includes excellent information regarding the requirements for an effective Privacy Policy.
