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:
“The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Rejecting all organs of information ... but my senses, I rid myself of the Pyrrhonisms with which an indulgence in speculations hyperphysical and antiphysical so uselessly occupy and disquiet the mind.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation.... It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
