Notification Fairness: Changes to Government Access to Digital Data
New rules change when and how the government must notify citizens about access to their digital data. Citizens will have the right to receive a copy of their shared data, increasing transparency of government actions.
Key points
Government must obtain court approval to delay notification of data access, for a maximum of 60 days, with possible extensions.
Notification of data access must be delivered by two methods, and citizens can request a copy of the disclosed information.
Agencies must justify delayed notification by citing specific threats, such as flight from prosecution or evidence destruction.
Annual reports to Congress are introduced, detailing the number of delayed notification requests and their outcomes.
