Privacy Threshold Analysis
The Privacy Threshold Analysis (PTA) is an internal DHS questionnaire used to identify if personally identifiable information (PII) is collected, maintained, used, or disseminated by a form, new project, pilot, program, rule, information collection, or system (collectively referred to as “program/system”). PTAs are also the formal mechanism used by the DHS Privacy Office to determine if a program/system is privacy sensitive; and if additional privacy compliance documentation, such as a Privacy Act Statement, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) and/ or System of Records Notice (SORN), is required.
