D2D Rules of Behavior: Due to the vast amount of agency-specific and personal data available on the FAI Insights page of D2D, all authorized users must adhere to the Rules of Behavior (ROB) described below. Adhering to these rules ensures responsible and ethical use of the D2D platform and its resources.
All users with access to FAI reports hosted on the Data 2 Decisions (D2D) platform must safeguard sensitive information and exercise sound judgement when viewing, querying, or sharing data.
Users should limit their searches to data that is relevant to their own agency or organization whenever possible. Accessing data related to other agencies or organizations is permissible only when there is a legitimate business need to know, such as when tracking employee transfers to or from one’s organization. Any downloading, sharing, distribution, or analysis of other agencies' data without the explicit authorization from the impacted agencies and FAI is strictly prohibited.
By accessing the D2D platform, users agree to comply with these rules and understand that violations may result in loss of access and disciplinary action.
