The Fair Information
Practices pledge

Your business wants to deliver the best customer experience possible while maintaining compliance. Your customers want to know how their personal data will be collected and used.

We’re all in this together. Our Fair Information Practices (FIP) ensure that your business always meets — and exceeds — core CCPA, CPRA, and GDPR standards.

Ready to show your customers that you take their data privacy seriously? Take the Data Privacy Institute FIP pledge today.

I pledge to:

The Collection Limitation Principle. There should be limits to the collection of personal data and any such data should be obtained by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the data subject.

The Data Quality Principle. Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which they are to be used and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete and kept up-to-date.

The Purpose Specification Principle. The purposes for which personal data are collected should be specified not later than at the time of data collection and the subsequent use limited to the fulfillment of those purposes or such others as are not incompatible with those purposes and as are specified on each occasion of change of purpose.

The Use Limitation Principle. Personal data should not be disclosed, made available or otherwise used for purposes other than those specified, except a) with the consent of the data subject, or b) by the authority of law.

The Security Safeguards Principle. Personal data should be protected by reasonable security safeguards against such risks as loss or unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure of data.

The Openness Principle. There should be a general policy of openness about developments, practices and policies with respect to personal data. Means should be readily available of establishing the existence and nature of personal data and the main purposes of their use, as well as the identity and usual residence of the data controller.

The Individual Participation Principle. An individual should have the right:

  • a) to obtain from a data controller, or otherwise, confirmation of whether or not the data controller has data relating to him;
  • b) to have data relating to him communicated to him, within a reasonable time, at a charge, if any, that is not excessive; in a reasonable manner, and in a form that is readily intelligible to him;
  • c) to be given reasons if a request made under subparagraphs (a) and (b) is denied and to be able to challenge such denial; and
  • d) to challenge data relating to him and, if the challenge is successful, to have the data erased, rectified, completed or amended;

The Accountability Principle. A data controller should be accountable for complying with measures which give effect to the principles stated above.
