Why this matters

A CIA Privacy Act notice. Notices like this are legally required descriptions of the categories of personal information an agency keeps and the 'routine uses' that allow sharing it. Few people read them, but together they are the only official public map of what records an intelligence agency holds on individuals. Compare with the CIA's earlier notices in 2025 and January 2026.
