Civil Liberties and Privacy Office

The Civil Liberties and Privacy Office (CLPO) is a part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that focuses on protecting individuals' rights and privacy. It ensures that national security measures respect civil liberties and that government actions do not infringe upon citizens' freedoms. The office reviews programs and policies, engages with the public, and addresses privacy concerns, aiming to balance safety and individual rights. By promoting transparency and accountability, the CLPO works to build trust between the government and the community regarding data use and privacy protections.
