The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) requires each Federal agency to publish a notice in the Federal Register of each system of records that it maintains. A system of records is any grouping of information about an individual under the control of a Federal agency from which it retrieves information by the name, social security number, or some other personal identifier. The system of records notice (SORN) describes the personal information that we receive, why we receive it, how we use it, and why and how we may share it.

A government-wide system of records is a system of records where one agency has regulatory authority over records in the custody of multiple agencies, and the agency with regulatory authority publishes a SORN that applies to all the records regardless of their custodial location. If a SEC division or office maintains a system of records covered by a government-wide SORN, the SEC will maintain the records in accordance with the government-wide SORN and not publish a separate one. Government-wide SORNs can be found on the Federal Privacy Council’s website: https://www.fpc.gov/resources/SORNs.
