How does the final rule protect the privacy of license holders?
To ensure that an individuals personally identifiable information is protected, the final rule prohibits the release and use of information inconsistent with the Federal Drivers Privacy Protection Act. Further, States are encouraged to provide even greater protections via their State laws and regulations. DHS has addressed privacy concerns and questions by integrating these important considerations throughout the development of the final rule, and States will be required to submit a Security Plan that documents, among other things, how the State is protecting personally identifiable information and data. The Privacy Impact Assessment for this rule is available on the Internet at www.dhs.gov/privacy.
