What are the two core principles of the FTC Fair Information Practice Principles?

Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs) Privacy Course

The privacy awareness training module "Fair Information Practice Principles: The Gold Standard for Protecting Personal Information" is available for UC Berkeley staff in the UC Learning Center.

This short, informative course covers the five privacy practice principles set forth by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for protecting personal information:

• Transparency -- ensures no secret data collection; provides information about the collection of personal data to allow users to make an informed choice
• Choice -- gives individuals a choice as to how their information will be used
• Information Review and Correction -- allows individuals the right to review and correct personal information
• Information Protection -- requires organizations to protect the quality and integrity of personal information
• Accountability -- holds organizations accountable for complying with FIPPs

Although these principles are not laws, they form the backbone of privacy law and provide guidance in the collection, use and protection of personal information.

You will learn why applying the Transparency principle ensures openness and honesty in data collection; how applying the Information Protection principle provides users with the confidence that the quality and integrity of their personal data will be protected; and, how broadly incorporating these principles into everyday practices Berkeley not only protects its users' personal privacy but also assumes accountability for complying with FIPPs. A short quiz is included at the end of the module to test your understanding of the principles.

You can search for the course by course code (BECIO009) or by going to the category listing "UC Essentials" and clicking on "UC Policies and Practices."  A pdf of the FIPPs course content is also available.

You may also wish to review FIPPs Questions for Data Proprietors to help you encorporate these five principles into your data collection and use practices.

What are the two core principles of the FTC’s Fair Information Practice Principles?

The two core principles of the FTC’s Fair Information Practice Principles are notice/awareness and choice/consent. The FTC guidelines, which are not yet codified in law, recommend for the notice/awareness principle that sites disclose their information practices before collecting data.

This includes identifying the data collector; all uses of the data; whether the data collection will be active or inactive, voluntary or required; the consequences of refusing to allow data to be collected; and the steps that will be taken to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and quality of the data. The choice/consent principle recommends that there be a choice system in place that allows consumers to choose how their information will be used for secondary purposes, other than supporting transactions. This includes internal uses by the collecting firm and transfers to third parties, and that opt-in opt-out choices are made available.

What are the key challenges facing in Software Engineering? Explain.

KEY CHALLENGES FACING SOFTWARE ENGINEERING 1. The legacy challenge The majority of software systems that are in use today were developed many years yet they perform critical business functions. The legacy challenge is the challenge of maintaining and updating this software in such a way that excessive costs are avoided and essential business services continue to be delivered. 2. Heterogeneity challenge Increasingly, systems are required to operate as distributed systems across networks that include different types of computers and with different kinds of support systems. The heterogeneity challenge is the challenge of developing techniques to build dependable software which is flexible enough to cope with this heterogeneity. 3. The delivery challenge Many traditional software engineering techniques are time-consuming. The time they take is required to achieve software quality. However, businesses today must be responsive and change very rapidly. Their supporting software must change e

Pure Versus Partial EC

Pure Versus Partial EC EC takes several forms depending on the degree of digitization (the transformation from physical to digital). Companies utilizing pure EC conduct all of their business online. Businesses utilizing partial EC conduct a portion of their business online and a portion of their business off-line OR,    Pure E-electronic commerce refers to a situation where a business transacts its business activities PURELY online. that is, the goods or services sold do not have any physical presence. take a business that sells software, for example, you just pay and download, or one that sells music files online. Partial E-Commerce on the other hand refers to a slightly opposite situation where a business has an online presence, but still has a physical location for the goods and services it sells. For example, Amazon, Walmart, and any other you can think of. you buy the goods online but receive them physically.                                                     OR,   Partial e-com

EDI layered architecture

EDI layered architecture Semantic (or application) layer Standards translation layer Packing (or transport) layer Physical network infrastructure layer EDI semantic layer: Describes the business application Procurement example - Requests for quotes - Price quotes - Purchase orders - Acknowledgments - Invoices Specific to company & software used EDI Standard layer(Standards translation): Specifies business form structure so that information can be exchanged Two competing standards:-  1. The ANSI ASC X12 Standards  • The X12 standard defined a set of documents, which are referred to as transaction sets. • The common documents and their corresponding transaction set numbers: 850 P.O, 810 Invoice, 855 P.O. Ack., 856 Ship Notice  2. EDIFACT Standards  • A combination of the ASC X12 standards and the Trade Data Interchange (TDI) standards developed in the United Kingdom and used throughout Europe.   2) EDI transport layer How the business form is sent, e.g. post, UPS, fax Increasingly,
