DON Privacy and PII Awareness Mobile Application

The Department of the Navy (DON) Privacy and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Awareness application is the mobile version of the DON course of the same name. This mandatory course is intended to improve privacy awareness across the Department so that employees will be able to recognize and properly safeguard PII.

This app provides an additional means to complete the annual training requirement and is available to all Department employees. The goal is to continue to increase privacy awareness across the DON.

In addition to the annual training, the app also provides refresher training consisting of nine individual short scenarios on various topics. Supervisors are encouraged to assign one or more scenarios to individuals whose actions have resulted in a PII breach.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

-- Determine your rights and responsibilities under the DON Privacy Program,

-- Identify PII in your workplace,

-- Determine what is required to collect and maintain PII,

-- Protect PII by learning how to identify areas where sensitive data is particularly susceptible and

learn measures to mitigate risks,

-- Respond to PII breaches using the appropriate procedures according to policy,

-- Know where to go for assistance or more information.
