The Privacy Act only pertains to information that is maintained in a system of records (hereinafter called “system”), while a “record” is an item of information about an individual, including his or her name or some other identifier. A “system of records” is distinguished from other kinds of personal records in that a record in the system is retrieved by an individual’s name or other personal identifier. Agencies are required to publish notices describing the existence and nature of a new or revised system in the Federal Register and to review and update these System of Records Notices (SORNs) biennially as necessary. A SORN is intended to inform the public of: what kinds of personal information federal agencies maintain, how agencies limit the uses and disclosures of the information to only those compatible with the purpose for which the information was collected, and how an individual might request access or seek redress to their information.
