EPIC Pursues Documents about Secret Government Profiling Program

EPIC has filed papers in federal court challenging the government's claim that it can withhold information about automated profiling. In EPIC v. CBP, a Freedom of Information Act case, EPIC seeks documents about the "Analytical Framework for Intelligence" which incorporates personal information from government agencies, commercial data brokers, and the Internet.

EPIC has called for "algorithmic transparency" in automated decisions concerning individuals.
