Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs)

Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs) are a set of guidelines designed to protect personal information and ensure responsible data handling. They include principles such as transparency, where individuals are informed about data collection; purpose limitation, restricting data use to specific, stated reasons; data minimization, only collecting what is necessary; accuracy, ensuring information is up-to-date; security, protecting data from unauthorized access; and individual participation, allowing people to access and correct their data. These principles aim to promote trust between individuals and organizations that handle their personal information, balancing privacy with data utility.
