3318:1-2-02. Procedures for accessing confidential personal information [RESCINDED]
-
For personal information systems, whether manual or computer systems, that contain confidential personal information, the commission shall do the following:
(A) Criteria for accessing confidential personal information. Personal information systems of the Ohio school facilities commission are managed on a "need-to-know" basis whereby the information owner determines the level of access required for an employee of the agency or its agent to fulfill their job duties. The determination of access to confidential personal information shall be approved by the employee's supervisor and the information owner prior to providing the employee or agent with access to confidential personal information within a personal information system. The executive director, with the approval of the commission, shall establish procedures for determining a revision to an employee's access to confidential personal information upon a change to that employee's job duties including, but not limited to, transfer or termination. The director, with the approval of the commission shall also establish procedures for determining a revision to an agent's access to confidential personal information upon a change to that agent's contractual duties including, but not limited to, termination. Whenever an employee's job duties or an agent's contractual obligations no longer require access to confidential personal information in a personal information system, the employee's or agent's access to confidential personal information shall be removed.
(B) Individual's request for a list of confidential personal information. Upon the signed written request of any individual for a list of confidential personal information about the individual maintained by the commission, the commission shall do all of the following:
(1) Verify the identity of the individual by a method that provides safeguards commensurate with the risk associated with the confidential personal information;
(2) Provide to the individual the list of confidential personal information that does not relate to an investigation about the individual or is otherwise not excluded from the scope of Chapter 1347. of the Revised Code; and
(3) If all information relates to an investigation about that individual, inform the individual that the commission has no confidential personal information about the individual that is responsive to the individual's request.
(C) Notice of invalid access.
(1) Upon discovery or notification that confidential personal information of a person has been accessed by an employee or an agent for an invalid reason, the commission shall notify the person whose information was invalidly accessed as soon as practical and to the extent known at the time. However, the commission shall delay notification for a period of time necessary to ensure that the notification would not delay or impede an investigation or jeopardize homeland or national security. Additionally, the commission may delay the notification consistent with any measures necessary to determine the scope of the invalid access, including which individuals' confidential personal information invalidly was accessed, and to restore the reasonable integrity of the system.
"Investigation" as used in this paragraph means the investigation of the circumstances and involvement of an employee surrounding the invalid access of the confidential personal information. Once the commission determines that notification would not delay or impede an investigation, the commission shall disclose the access to confidential personal information made for an invalid reason to the person.
(2) Notification provided by the commission shall inform the person of the type of confidential personal information accessed and the date(s) of the invalid access.
(3) Notification may be made by any method reasonably designed to accurately inform the person of the invalid access, including written, electronic, or telephone notice.
(D) The executive director shall designate an employee of the Ohio school facilities commission to serve as the data privacy point of contact. The data privacy point of contact shall work with the chief privacy officer within the office of information technology to assist the agency with both the implementation of privacy protections for the confidential personal information that the agency maintains and compliance with section 1347.15 of the Revised Code and the rules adopted pursuant to the authority provided by that chapter.
(E) Completion of a privacy impact assessment. The executive director shall designate an employee of the Ohio school facilities commission to serve as the data privacy point of contact who shall timely complete the privacy impact assessment form developed by the office of information technology.
