Per Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is “information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual's identity, either alone or when combined with other information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual.” Examples of PII include, but are Security and Privacy Requirements for Information Technology Procurements not limited to the following: social security number, date and place of birth, mother’s maiden name, biometric records, etc.

Per TYAD, sensitive PII is PII that if released improperly could result in harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or unfairness to the individual whose name or identity is linked to the information. Context must be accounted for in order to determine whether PII is sensitive. Some PII is always sensitive, and some is only sensitive when it is used in a particular context. For example, a list of people subscribing to a government newsletter is generally not sensitive PII; a list of people receiving treatment for substance abuse would always be considered sensitive PII.

The list below is not exhaustive. Context must be accounted for in order to determine whether PII is sensitive. The following types of information are always considered sensitive:

Social Security Numbers (including using just the last 4 digits of the SSN) Date of birth Mother’s maiden name Biometric identifiers (e.g., fingerprint, iris scan, voice print) Personal financial information, credit card and purchase card account numbers Citizenship and immigration status Criminal history • Computer access passwords and security questions Medical records

Acceptable Use Policy: Users who require TYAD Network access are required annually to digitally sign an Acceptable Use Policy. (AUP) The Acceptable Use Policy is intended to outline expected behavior in regards to the use of Government information technology (IT) resources and to delineate between authorized and unauthorized operating practices. The Acceptable Use Policy also provides an overview of IT system security policies mandated by TYAD. All Government IT resources, including but not limited to, hardware, software, storage media, and computer and network accounts, provided by TYAD are the property of TYAD. They are to be used for business purposes in serving the interests of the Government and TYAD customers in the course of normal operations. Use of Government IT resources for purposes other than those identified within this policy are strictly prohibited and could negate the security of TYAD IT systems. Effective security is a team effort involving the participation and support of everyone who deals with information and/or information systems. It is the responsibility of everyone to know these guidelines, and to conduct their activities accordingly.

The policy represents the commitment of TYAD to ensure that system and information integrity policy is appropriately defined and implemented, in order to protect TYAD systems from intentional or unintentional acts that may negatively impact system security. The policy applies to the use of information, electronic and computing devices, and network resources to conduct TYAD business. All TYAD employees, contractors, and vendors are responsible for exercising good judgment regarding appropriate use of information, electronic devices, and network resources in accordance with TYAD policies and standards, and local laws and regulation.

This policy applies to employees, contractors, and vendors. This policy applies to all equipment that is owned or leased by TYAD. This policy covers TYAD entire operational environment, including telework locations/sites.

Employees do not have a right, nor should they have any reasonable expectation, of privacy while using any Government IT resources at any time, including accessing the Internet or using e-mail. To the extent that employees wish that their private activities remain private, they should avoid using Government IT resources such as their TYAD-issued computer, the Internet access, or e-mail for such activities. By using Government IT resources, employees give their consent to disclosing the contents of any files or information maintained using this equipment.
