Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee

The DHS Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee (DPIAC) is chartered under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended, to provide advice to the Secretary of Homeland Security and the DHS Chief Privacy Officer on programmatic, policy, operational, administrative, and technological issues within DHS that relate to PII, data integrity, and other privacy-related matters. DPIAC members serve as Special Government Employees and represent a balance of interests on privacy matters from academia, the private sector (including for-profit and not-for profit organizations), and the privacy advocacy community.

The Committee undertakes matters assigned to it by the DHS Chief Privacy Officer, and conducts its deliberations in public meetings. Its role is advisory only. The DPIAC issues its findings and recommendations in public reports. These reports, and DPIAC meeting agendas and transcripts, are available on the DHS Privacy Office website.
