New York Privacy Rights
New York State enacted the Personal Privacy Protection Law (Public Officers Law, Article 6-A, sections 91-99) in 1984 to recognize public concern about privacy and the relationship between the government and the people.
The law is intended to protect your privacy by regulating the manner in which the state collects, maintains, and disseminates personal information about you. Generally, the law:
-
grants rights of access to you for records about you that are maintained by state agencies;
-
permits you to correct or amend the information if you believe that it is inaccurate or irrelevant;
-
prohibits an agency from collecting personal information, unless it is "relevant and necessary" to a purpose of the agency that must be accomplished by law;
-
requires an agency, when it seeks personal information from you, to tell you why the information is being collected, where it will be kept, how it will be used, and what penalties, if any, may be imposed if you fail to provide the information;
-
protects you against disclosures of personal information without your consent, except in circumstances specified in the law; and forbids state agencies from maintaining "secret" data banks containing personal information.
The Committee on Open Government, a unit of the Department of State, provides advice to any person under the Freedom of Information and Open Meetings Laws. It is also authorized to advise individuals regarding the rights of access to records subject to the provisions of the Personal Privacy Protection Law. The committee must maintain and make available a directory of all systems of records containing personal information kept by state agencies.
