CFPB Public Health and Safety SORN

This system maintains information collected in response to a public health emergency or similar health and safety incident, such as a pandemic, epidemic, or man-made emergency, that is necessary to ensure a safe and healthy environment for individuals who are occupying CFPB facilities, attending CFPB-sponsored events, or otherwise engaged in official business on behalf of the Bureau.

Who is covered: Individuals covered by this system include Bureau staff (political appointees, employees, contractors, consultants, interns, and volunteers), visitors, and occupants who access or seek to access Bureau facility, space, or worksite or individuals otherwise engaged in official business on behalf of the Bureau. The system also covers individuals identified as emergency contacts for Bureau staff.

What information is collected: This system maintains information collected about Bureau staff, visitors, and occupants that will help the Bureau trace potential exposures and notify individuals who may have come into contact with a pathogen, contagious agent, or other hazardous materials due to a public health or man-made emergency. The information collected and maintained by the system about those individuals may include, but is not limited to, their name, contact information, employee identification number (if applicable), the dates when they visited the facility, space, or worksite, whether they may have potentially come into contact with the pathogen or other hazardous materials or agents, dates the Bureau was made aware of the exposure, the locations that they visited within the facility, space, or worksite (e.g., office and/or cubicle number), and the duration of time spent in the facility, space, or worksite. The Bureau may collect information to assess or ensure the health and safety of the facility, space, or worksite prior to allowing access Bureau staff, visitors, or occupants as a result of these emergencies. This information may vary depending on the nature of the specific emergency or event and may include, but is not limited to recent travel dates and location, temperature, symptoms or related diagnosis, or other medical, heath, or safety information related to the event or emergency, which would be collected and maintained in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The system may also include information related to subsequent actions taken by the Bureau or building management to address the incident. Furthermore, the system includes the name, phone number, and email address of individuals identified as emergency contacts for Bureau staff.

Why is the information collected: The Bureau collects information to help trace potential exposures and notify individuals who may have come into contact with a pathogen, contagious agency, or other hazardous materials due to a public health or man-made emergency. The Bureau may also collect information to assess or ensure the health and safety of the facility, space, or worksite prior to allowing access to Bureau staff, visitor, or occupants as a result of these emergencies.
