1 City of Santa Ana Workforce Development Policy Bulletin # 26 Subject: CONFIDENTIALITY OF PARTICIPANT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION POLICY (PII Policy) Date: xx-xx-2020 INTRODUCTION It is the policy of the City of Santa Ana Workforce Development Board (SAWDB) to protect the privacy of all applicants for program services, as well as the privacy of all customers and clients receiving program services. The purpose of this policy is to describe how the SAWDB will protect all personally identifiable information (PII) on applicants and customers, and the consequences for not adhering to these safeguards. Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), staff obtains personal and confidential information from individuals as part of eligibility determination and continuation of services. WIOA and other federal and state regulations governing information sharing stipulate implementation of confidentiality policies and procedures. Personal information will be treated in the strictest confidence and will not be shared outside of the SAWDB without written authorization, except for auditing purposes and other grantor-imposed information-sharing requirements. The purpose of this policy is to specify the requirements for the use, storage, and security of sensitive and confidential information. ATTACHMENTS • Attachment A: Staff/Representative Confidentiality Agreement • Attachment B: Participant Confidentiality Rights • Attachment C: Definition of Key Terms; POLICY Employees, contractors, consultants, and volunteers of SAWDB (herein “staff and representatives”) may be exposed to participant information which is confidential and/or privileged and proprietary in nature. As part of grant activities, staff and representatives may have access to large quantities of personally identifiable information (PII) relating to individual program participants. This information could be found in participant files and data sets, performance reports, program evaluations, grant and contract files, and other sources. The SAWDB expects all staff and representatives to respect the privacy of clients and to maintain their personal and financial information as confidential. Access to any PII mustEXHIBIT 16-2

SAWDB Policy Bulletin #26 Personally Identifiable Information Policy 2 be restricted to only those staff and representatives who need it in their official capacity to perform duties pertaining to the scope of work in the grant or contract agreement. No information may be released without appropriate authorization (Exhibit A). CUSTOMER AWARENESS Individuals must be informed in writing how their information will be used and that their information will be protected and that their personal and confidential information (Exhibit B): • May be shared among federal and state agencies, partner staff and contractors; • Is used only for delivering services and that further disclosure of their confidential information is prohibited; and that • PII will be used for grant and eligibility purposes only. Every individual receiving WIOA or other SAWDB funded services must read, sign and date a Release of Information to share their information with partner agencies. Individuals must be informed that they can request that their information not be shared among partner agencies and that this does not affect their eligibility for services. Staff and representatives should engage in practical ways to reduce potential security breaches and protect sensitive information and PII by: • Reducing the volume of collected and retained information to the minimum necessary; • Limiting access to only those individuals who must have such access; and • Using encryption, strong authentication procedures, and other security controls to make information unusable by unauthorized individuals. PROTECTING INFORMATION PII and confidentiality require special precautions to protect them from unauthorized use, access, disclosure, modification, and destruction. Confidentiality means that data, reports, and other outputs are safeguarded against unauthorized access. Staff will exercise extreme care and caution when working with confidential information to ensure the privacy of the applicant or customer. Physical Data Protection Requirements All sensitive or PII data obtained should be stored in an area that is physically safe from access by unauthorized persons at all times. Staff and representatives must not leave personal and confidential information left open and unattended. When a staff or representative’s desk is unattended, it is the staff or representative’s responsibility to ensure that personal and confidential information, including PII, is secured in closed containers such as locked drawers or offices when not in use. This means that all documents containing personal and confidential information must not be left on desks, fax machines, printers, or photocopiers unattended. Desktops andEXHIBIT 16-3

SAWDB Policy Bulletin #26 Personally Identifiable Information Policy 3 computers will be kept clear of papers and/or files containing confidential information that are not being used. Desktops and computers will be kept clear of confidential information during non-business hours. Any papers containing PII and/or confidential information are to remain in the offices of the SAWDB, the AJCC and other authorized program sub-contractors, except invoices may be transported directly to the County accounting offices, and, upon occasion, there may be other papers that must be transported to other locations for a specific purpose and with the express permission of Management. All discarded paper containing confidential information shall be placed in a locked shredder bin or shredded. Any participant files stored for performance or archiving purposes must be clearly marked as containing personal and confidential information. Staff and representatives should retain participant PII only for the period required for assessment or performance purposes. Thereafter, all data must be destroyed by a qualified company to minimize risk of breach. Electronic Data Protection Requirements To safeguard SAWDB’s electronically stored data, each user will receive a designated and authorized log-on(s) and password(s) that restrict users to the applications or functions commensurate with their assigned responsibilities, supporting an appropriate segregation of duties. This is such that unauthorized persons cannot reasonably retrieve the information by means of a computer. The SAWDB expects all staff to secure mobile equipment, such as laptop computers and other devices that may have PII stored on them. Devices should be password protected and safeguarded when not in use. Accessing and storing data containing PII on personally owned equipment at off-site locations, such as the employee’s home, and on non- managed IT services, such as Google or Yahoo, is prohibited. TRANSMISSION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION Staff and representatives should avoid communicating sensitive information or PII about an applicant or participant to partner agencies or other staff via email. If it is necessary, staff and representatives must ensure that the intended recipient is the only individual that has access to the information and that the recipient understands they must also protect the information. Staff and representatives must only communicate sensitive information or PII through City of Santa Ana emails and not through third party or personal email addresses. PII and other sensitive data transmitted via email or stored on mobile data storage (such as thumb drives) must be encrypted. Staff and representatives must not e-mail unencrypted sensitive PII to any entity, including the Department of Labor, City of Santa Ana staff, or contractors. Staff and representatives should discourage participants from emailing personal and confidential information to their case managers.EXHIBIT 16-4

SAWDB Policy Bulletin #26 Personally Identifiable Information Policy 4 Any information posted to social media sites is considered public record and is subject to public disclosure. No sensitive information or PII should be posted to social media sites. Care shall also be taken to ensure that unauthorized individuals do not overhear any discussion of confidential information. SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS Social security numbers are protected as high-risk information. When requesting a participant’s social security number, staff and representatives should explain how the social security number will be used and how the participant’s privacy will be ensured. Staff must request a participant’s social security number when offering the following services: • Staff-assisted service related to eligibility determination, job search activity, and employment; • All training and educational services; and • Self-services through CalJOBS. However, an individual is not required to provide their social security number to receive WIOA services, and services cannot be denied to an individual due to their refusal to disclose their social security number. Whenever possible, staff and representatives should use unique identifiers for participant tracking instead of social security numbers. While social security numbers may be needed for initial eligibility or performance purposes, a unique identifier should be linked to each individual record and used thereafter. This includes such records as training or contract documents. If social security numbers are to be used for specific tracking purposes, they must be stored or used in such a way that it is not attributable to the individual. For example, a training document should not include the participant name and social security number, rather the participant name and a truncated social security number. Social Security numbers may not be listed on anything mailed to a client or to another agency unless required by law, or the document is a form or application. Social Security numbers may not be left on a voice mail message. MEDICAL AND DISABILITY RECORDS Medical and disability records are additionally protected as confidential information. To ensure the information is protected, any medical or disability records must be kept separately from working participant files and kept in a secured physical and/or electronic location. Only the portion of the participant’s information that reveals the presence of a disability or other data element should be included in the participant’s file to minimize staff and representative access to medical files.EXHIBIT 16-5

SAWDB Policy Bulletin #26 Personally Identifiable Information Policy 5 Once collected, access to the medical file should be limited and only accessed: • With the approval of program management and only when necessary for WIOA service delivery; • By first aid and safety personnel in the event of an emergency; or • By local, state, or federal monitors. SECURITY BREACHES Any staff or representative who becomes aware of any actual or attempted PII security breach resulting from the inadvertent or intentional leak of release of confidential information, including PII, shall immediately inform their direct supervisor. PII security incidents include, but are not limited to, any event (intentional or unintentional) that causes the loss, damage, or destruction, or unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure of information assets. The system or device affected by a PII security incident shall be immediately removed from operation. It shall remain removed from operation until correction and mitigation measures are applied. SAWDB will inform the California Employment Development Department and Department of Labor of breaches believed to cause harm. Breaches subject to notification requirements include both electronic systems as well as paper documents. STAFF COMPLIANCE All City of Santa Ana employees with access to WIOA participant PII and/or confidential information must sign an acknowledgement that they have read the policy, understand the confidential nature of participant data and the potential sanctions for improper disclosure, and agree to abide by all other requirements and terms contained therein. Unauthorized disclosure of confidential or privileged information is a serious violation of this policy. Any failure to comply with confidentiality requirements identified in this policy may result in termination or suspension of contract or employment, or the imposition of special conditions or restrictions to protect the privacy of participants or the integrity of PII data. Misuse or noncompliance with PII data safeguards could lead to civil and criminal sanctions per federal and state laws. Staff and representatives are expected to return materials containing privileged or confidential information at the time of separation from employment or expiration of service.

ATTACHMENT B PARTICIPANT CONFIDENTIALITY RIGHTS Your privacy is one of our primary concerns. The Santa Ana Workforce Development Board (SAWDB) makes every effort to provide you with a safe and private environment. The information below explains what information we gather and how we use it. It applies to all SAWDB uses of information and is intended to protect the confidentiality of all customer information. Access to Data Program staff must collect data in order to document eligibility and provide services per federal regulation under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The SAWDB and subcontractors will make every effort to collect and store data in a secure manner. Access to any personal customer information is restricted to only those staff and representatives who need it in their official capacity to perform duties pertaining to service delivery. For auditing and monitoring purposes, individuals’ personal and confidential information may be shared among federal and state agencies, partner staff and contractors under the SAWDB umbrella. Access is for the purpose of determining compliance with, and ensuring enforcement of the provisions of WIOA. Use and Release of Data We may ask you to provide personal information when you: • Use the CalJOBS website; • Request services, support or information to validate eligibility; • Share SAWDB content through social media; • Subscribe to newsletters, or other materials; or • Contact us for information on services available. Information we may request includes your email address, name, address, telephone number, proof of U.S. residence, proof of age, selective service verification, and other data elements depending on program eligibility criteria. Data will only be used for the purposes of verifying eligibility, delivering services, and verifying performance measures. Upon request, data can be released to the subject of the information. You may decide whether or not to provide your social security number. If you do not wish to provide this number, you can still receive services. The authority for the solicitation of social security numbers is from the California Unemployment Insurance Code, Section 15026. If you choose to provide your number, these are the ways it may be used by the SAWDB or the State of Studies and evaluation of training and employment programs in which you may participate: • Getting information for future program and budget planning; • Checking for possible participation by you in other state or federal programs; • Studying long-term effects on all participants in this program;EXHIBIT 16-9

• Finding ways to make this program more effective; or • Sharing information with other employment and training programs. How We Protect Your Data To protect your personal information from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law. These measures include computer safeguards, secured files, and secured buildings. All sensitive individual data is stored in an area that is physically safe from access by unauthorized persons at all times and data transmitted electronically is encrypted. Medical and disability records are additionally protected as confidential information. Any medical or disability records are kept separately in a secured physical and/or electronic location. Social security numbers are also protected as high-risk information. Whenever possible, staff and representatives will use unique identifiers to track individual data rather than personally identifiable information. Disclosing Personal Information The SAWDB may share your Personal Information with California Employment Development Department and U.S. Department of Labor monitors for the purpose of assessing programmatic and fiscal compliance. In addition, we may disclose your personal information when legally required or to protect our rights. Any other use of individual data will require written consent from the customer or customer’s parent/legal guardian. Notification of Privacy Changes The SAWDB privacy rights are outlined in the Use and Confidentiality of Participants’ Personally Identifiable Information (PII) policy which can be found on the SAWDB’s website at: https://www.santa-ana.org/work-center. The SAWDB reserves the right to make changes to this policy at any time. When changes are made they will be posted and available immediately with a revised effective date. We encourage you to periodically review the privacy policy. Acknowledgement of Receipt By signing below, I acknowledge that I have explained this agreement to the SAWDB-affiliated customer.

ATTACHMENT C Definitions of Key Terms Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is any information that can be used to distinguish or trace an individual’s identity, either alone or when combined with other personal information that is linked or linkable to a specific individual. There are two types of PII as defined by the U.S. Department of Labor in TEGL 3911 that are based on the “risk of harm” that could result from the release of the PII: • Protected PII – is any information that if disclosed could result in harm to the individual whose name or identify is linked to that information. Examples include, but are not limited to, social security numbers, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, personal telephone numbers, ages, birthdates, marital status, spouse names, educational history, biometrics identifiers, medical history, financial information, and computer passwords. • Non-Sensitive PII – is information that if disclosed, by itself, could not reasonably be expected to result in personal harm as it is not linked or closely associated with any protected or unprotected PII. Examples include first and last names, e-mail addresses, business addresses, business telephone numbers, general education credentials, gender, or race. A combination of non-sensitive PII could potentially be categorized as protected PII. As example, a name and business e-mail address will not result in a high degree of harm to an individual. A name linked to a social security number and date of birth could result in identity theft. A Security Breach as defined by TEGL 39-11 is used to include the loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized acquisition, unauthorized access, or any similar term referring to situations where persons other than authorized users and for an other than authorized purpose have access or potential access to personally identifiable information, whether physical or electronic. Sensitive Information as defined by TEGL 39-11 is any unclassified information whose loss, misuse or unauthorized access to or modification of could adversely affect the interest of the conduct of Federal programs, or the privacy to which individuals are entitled under the Privacy Act.EXHIBIT 16-11
