Privacy Act Systems of Records

In systems of records where traditional paper collections of information are supplemented or replaced by electronic forms offered through a web site, the rules of the Privacy Act continue to apply. For situations where a Privacy Act notice would be required in the paper-based world, the general principle is that the equivalent notice is required in the on-line world. It is our policy to post the relevant Privacy Act notice on the web page or web form via a well-marked hyperlink.

We publish detailed descriptions of the Privacy Act Systems of Records maintained by the Department. You can consult the Index to VA Systems of Records for further information.
