As used in this chapter:
"Agency" means the public employment relations board or PERB.
"Confidential record" means a record which is not available as a matter of right for examination and copying by members of the public under applicable provisions of law. Confidential records include records or information contained in records that the agency is prohibited by law from making available for examination by members of the public, and records or information contained in records that are specified as confidential by Iowa Code section 22.7, or other provision of law, but that may be disclosed upon order of a court, the lawful custodian of the record, or by another person duly authorized to release the record. Mere inclusion in a record of information declared confidential by an applicable provision of law does not necessarily make that entire record a confidential record.
"Custodian" means the board or a person lawfully delegated authority to act for the agency in implementing Iowa Code chapter 22.
"Open record" means a record other than a confidential record.
"Personally identifiable information" means information about or pertaining to an individual in a record which identifies the individual and which is contained in a record system.
"Record" means the whole or a part of a public record as defined in Iowa Code section 22.1.
"Record system" means any group of records under the control of the agency from which a record may be retrieved by a personal identifier such as the name of an individual, number, symbol, or other unique retriever assigned to an individual.
"Routine use" means the disclosure of a record without the consent of the subject or subjects, for a purpose which is compatible with the purpose for which the record was collected or is maintained. "Routine use" includes disclosures required to be made by statute other than the public records law, Iowa Code chapter 22.
