Criminal FBI Exempts Massive Database from Privacy Act Protections

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has exempted the FBI Data Warehouse System, from important Privacy Act safeguards.

The database ingests troves of personally identifiable information
including race, birthdate, biometric information, social security
numbers, and financial information from various government agencies.

The database contains information on a surprisingly broad category of
individuals, including “subjects, suspects, victims, witnesses,
complainants, informants, sources, bystanders, law enforcement
personnel, intelligence personnel, other responders, administrative
personnel, consultants, relatives, and associates who may be relevant to
the investigation or intelligence operation; individuals who are
identified in open source information or commercial databases, or who
are associated, related, or have a nexus to the FBI’s missions;
individuals whose information is collected and maintained for
information system user auditing and security purposes.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has exempted these records from
the notification, access, and amendment provisions of the Privacy Act.

Earlier this year, EPIC opposedthe
Automated Targeting System, another massive government database that
the Department of Homeland Security exempted from Privacy Act
provisions.
