Retention of collected
information
- The State of Indiana government is required to maintain many government records under the Indiana Archives and Records Act for archival and historical purposes.
- When you provide personal information to State agencies through IN.gov, such information is handled as it would be in an in-person transaction in a government office, and is subject to the laws, regulations, practices, and procedures of the respective agency.
- Some governmental agencies may already have, or may acquire, personal information through the normal functions of government. Indiana law governs the use of and access to this information under the Indiana Fair Information Practices Act and the Indiana Access to Public Records Act. (Indiana Code 4-1-6) If State or Federal law treats information as a disclosable public record, a State agency may choose to make the record available through IN.gov in much the same manner as the agency would make a record available to a member of the public who visits the agency in-person.
