Global Privacy and Information Quality Working Group (GPIQWG)

 

The Global Privacy and Information Quality Working Group (GPIQWG) is one of four Global working groups. GPIQWG is a cross-functional, multidisciplinary working group of Global and is composed of privacy and local, state, tribal, and federal justice entity representatives covering critical topics such as intelligence, biometrics, information quality, privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties. GPIQWG assists government entities, institutions, and other justice agencies in ensuring that personally identifiable information is appropriately collected, maintained, used, and disseminated within evolving integrated justice information systems.

 

In order to formulate a unified and comprehensive approach to privacy and information quality issues, GPIQWG actively coordinates with the other Global Working Groups and with the Global Advisory Committee (GAC).
