Fair Information Practice
The four critical issues identified in Fair Information Principles are:
- Noticing – data collectors must disclose their information practices before collecting personal information from consumers
- Choice – consumers must be given options with respect to whether and how personal information collected from them may be used for purposes beyond those for which the information was provided
- Access – consumers should be able to view and contest the accuracy and completeness of data collected about them
- Security – data collectors must take reasonable steps to assure that information collected from consumers is accurate and secure from unauthorized use.
In addition the Principles discuss the need for enforcement mechanisms to impose sanctions for non-compliance with fair information practices.

Famous quotes containing the words fair, information and/or practice:
“There was never yet fair woman but she made mouths in a glass.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“As information technology restructures the work situation, it abstracts thought from action.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
