Address Protection: Data Security for At-Risk Individuals

This new law ensures that federal agencies and courts must accept substitute addresses for individuals in address confidentiality programs. This means at-risk individuals, such as victims of violence, can safely hide their true address, protecting their privacy and safety. The act also shields this information from public disclosure requests.
Key points
Federal agencies and courts must accept designated addresses for individuals in address confidentiality programs.
Participants' physical addresses are confidential and protected from public disclosure requests.
Individuals using designated addresses will not face penalties for not providing their physical address.
