Chief privacy officers and Epic’s fair information usage.

Elsewhere in the blogosphere the ever-stimulating White Rose makes reference to Wired’s article on US public-sector opportunities for chief privacy officers.

Will the UK see advertisements for public sector chief privacy officers? If so they’d better specify “no experience required” since as far as we know nobody has any.

White Rose points also to another good statement of user requirements for e-enabled public services - EPIC’s code of fair information practice.

The Code of Fair Information Practices is based on five principles:

There must be no personal data record-keeping systems whose very existence is secret.

There must be a way for a person to find out what information about the person is in a record and how it is used.

There must be a way for a person to prevent information about the person that was obtained for one purpose from being used or made available for other purposes without the person’s consent.

There must be a way for a person to correct or amend a record of identifiable information about the person.

Any organization creating, maintaining, using, or disseminating records of identifiable personal data must assure the reliability of the data for their intended use and must take precautions to prevent misuses of the data.

Looks to me like another excellent wibbi - what do you reckon?

Ideal Government

Let's say what we want from e-enabled government. Let's observe government first-hand. Let's say "Wouldn't It Be Better If" (WIBBI). Become an ethnographer of bureaucracy today! It beats getting frustrated with public services.
