Documents/HUDO/6: Challenges to Utilizing Open Government/6.2.3: Confidentiality

6.2.3: Confidentiality

Protect sensitive information and redact any previously published data containing such information.

Other Information:

Web pages or any other open government related activities or processes must not publicly release sensitive information. Due to the nature of open government, it will be impossible to vet all data as not containing any sensitive information, especially when information from multiple agencies is combined. As is the case with Data.gov, HUD will retain the right to redact any previously published data or processes if such a situation occurs. In such cases, HUD will convene a privacy working group to investigate how the compromise happened, and in the case of inter-Agency compromises, establish necessary partnerships with other Agencies to convene a ‘lessons learned summit.'
