The purpose of the machine readable privacy policy standard is to have all state agencies create machine readable policies, mandated by Act 1713 of 2003, in a consistent manner.
This standard statement applies to all state agencies, boards and commissions.
Act 1713 of 2003 requires state and local governments operating a website to incorporate a machine readable privacy policy into each of its websites no later than July 1, 2004. The Arkansas Information Systems Act of 1997 (Act 914, 1997) gives the Office of Information Technology the authority to define standards, policies and procedures to manage the information resources within the state. This is accomplished through work with a multi-agency working group known as the Shared Technical Architecture Team.
Agencies must be able to demonstrate compliance with this standard.
