The PII Privacy Act refers to regulations governing the collection, use, and dissemination of personally identifiable information (PII) by government agencies in the United States. Enacted in 1974, the Privacy Act aims to protect individuals' privacy rights by allowing them to access and correct their personal information held by federal agencies. It mandates that agencies maintain accurate records, limit the disclosure of PII without consent, and implement security measures to safeguard this information. The act plays a crucial role in ensuring transparency and accountability in how personal data is managed by the government.
