Overview[]
This Privacy Template was developed by the U.S. Department of Justice in collaboration with the Department of Homeland Security in the joint DHS/DOJ Fusion Process Technical Assistance Program. This template was designed specifically to assist fusion center personnel in developing a privacy policy related to the information, intelligence, and suspicious activity report (SAR) information the center gathers, collects, receives, maintains, archives, accesses, discloses, and disseminates to center personnel, governmental agencies, Information Sharing Environment (ISE) participants, and other participating criminal justice and public safety agencies, as well as to private contractors and the general public. Provisions contained in this template help centers comply with requirements of the DHS Homeland Security Grant Program Guidance, the ISE Privacy Guidelines, and the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative (NSI).
