Description of Civil Liberties and Privacy Protections in updated NCTC Guidelines

by on

Description of Civil Liberties and Privacy Protections in the updated NCTC Guidelines, January 2013, Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

  • “In March, 2012, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), the Attorney General, and the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) approved the updated Guidelines for Access, Retention, Use, and Dissemination by the National Counterterrorism Center and Other Agencies of Information in Datasets Containing Non-Terrorism Information (referred to here as the “NCTC Guidelines” or “Guidelines”) (available at www.nctc.gov). The NCTC Guidelines make important updates and modifications to the 2008 version of the Guidelines. The new Guidelines ensure that NCTC has an effective and efficient means of assessing federal agency datasets that are likely to contain significant terrorism information, permit NCTC to use terrorism information for proper purposes subject to multi-layered privacy and civil liberties protections, and establish comprehensive compliance and oversight mechanisms.”
