Fair Information Practices

Fair Information Practices (FIP) are a set of guidelines designed to protect personal data and ensure transparency in how information is collected, used, and shared. These principles emphasize the importance of individual consent, allowing people to know what data is being collected and for what purpose. They encourage organizations to keep data secure, ensure accuracy, provide access to personal information, and allow individuals to correct any inaccuracies. Ultimately, FIP aim to foster trust between individuals and organizations by promoting responsible data handling practices in an increasingly digital world.
