CSAT Privacy Act Information

Earlier this week, DHS updated the Chemical Security portion of their Laws and Regulations web page. They added a link to the updated CSAT Privacy Impact Assessment required under the Privacy Act. The new Impact Assessment was needed because changes made in October to the CSAT web site allowed users to see the names and positions of other users registered with CSAT for the same facility. The Help Desk also has access to this information as well as the CVI training status of users. This aids them in dealing with users having problems with the CSAT system. CSAT registered users should review the Impact Assessment document to ensure that they know how their personal information is being used and shared. Or may be they ought to do it just to help justify the government’s cost of maintaining these documents
