Privacy and Security

Confidential Folders

County officers, employees, agents, and volunteers are required to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of non-public personally identifiable information and to protect the security of that information.

Non-public, personally identifiable information includes information maintained electronically or in paper format that can potentially be used to uniquely identify, contact, or locate County employees or members of the public. Examples include, but are not limited to, social security numbers, driver's license numbers, and financial and health information not subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act.

Various local, state, and federal laws protect the privacy of individually identifiable health information.

Safeguarding Confidential Information

Our employees follow these guidelines to protect confidential information:
  • Only access confidential information when necessary to perform job responsibilities
  • Only access the minimum amount of information necessary to complete a particular task
  • Do not access information to satisfy curiousity
  • Do not access or use information to benefit yourself, family member, friend, or acquaintance
  • Keep physical documents containing confidential information safe from prying eyes
  • Do not discuss confidential information where unauthorized individuals may overhear
  • Do not share computer and system passwords with anyone
