Overview[]
This White Paper identified three principles: information privacy, information integrity, and information quality, which were deemed to be fundamental requirements necessary for the proper use of personal information.

The Principles are designed to guide all NII participants as well as those who are drafting legislation and crafting policy regarding the use of personal information. They provide the basic framework from which specialized principles can be developed as needed. | ” |
