Handle Data With Care

We all have a responsibility and duty to the citizens and stakeholders of New Jersey to steward and safeguard the data and information we use to fulfil the State’s mission, to which we have been entrusted. As we have access to many communication and social media tools to help us execute our work, and to promote a culture of greater data awareness, we must consider the data we’re using and distributing internally and external of NJOIT. Every person, every day needs to ask themselves these questions before they release or distribute any State data or information:

 

Do you know what type of data you have?

Public

Data that is required by Law or Statue to not be published.

Confidential

Data that is required by Law or Statue to not be published.

Private

Data the distribution of which is restricted by choice by a business or an individual.

Open

Data that may be published without any restrictions.
