Employee Privacy Policy

Employee Privacy Policy
Personal privacy is a cherished value closely linked to concepts of personal freedom and well being. At the same time, personal privacy parallels fundamental principles of the First Amendment to the Constitution, the most important hallmark of personal freedom, the protection of free flow of information in society.

Most organizations require personal information about their employees to carry out business goals and objectives. It is imperative that collected information is safeguarded from intentional or accidental disclosure. Increasingly, automation of personal records permits this information to be used and analyzed in ways that would reduce employee privacy without adequate safeguards.

Organizations must have policies requiring compliance with legal, regulatory, and moral safeguards relative to employee information. These policies should assure that information technologies sustain and do not erode personal information protections in the organization's use, collection, and disclosure of personal information.

It is important that organizations constantly evaluate legislative and regulatory requirements involving the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information
