Publicly Available Information (Glossary)

Any information that the organization has a reasonable basis to believe is lawfully made available to the general public from: Federal, State or local government records; widely distributed media, including the Internet; or disclosures to the general public that are required to be made by Federal, State or local law. For the purposes of these policies, the organization has a reasonable basis to believe that information is lawfully made available to the public if the organization has taken steps to determine:

• that the information is of the type that is available to the general public; and
• whether an individual can direct that the information not be made available to the general public and, if so, that such individual has not done so.
