    Exchange Records on Individuals.

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION:
    None.

SYSTEM LOCATION:
    Locations 1-9, 11, 12, 18, and 19, as set forth in Appendix A.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
    This system maintains information on present and former employees 
of, and applicants for employment with, NASA Exchanges, recreational 
associations, and employees' clubs at NASA Centers, and civil servant 
and contractor members of or participants in NASA Exchange programs, 
activities, clubs and/or recreational associations. Finally, the system 
maintains information on children, and their parents or guardians, who 
participate in Exchange-operated child care and educational development 
programs.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    For present and former employees of NASA Exchange entities 
including child care and educational development center programs, 
records in the system relate to personnel actions and determinations 
during their application to and employment by the NASA Exchange. 
Records contain information about individuals and their employment such 
as name, birth date, Social Security Number, home contact information, 
marital status, references, veteran preference, tenure, disabilities, 
position description, unemployment claims; salary, leave and payroll 
deduction information; and job performance and personnel actions.
    For civil servants, contractors, and others who apply for and 
participate in Exchange-sponsored programs, activities, clubs and/or 
recreational associations, records include employee or contractor 
identification number, organization, location, telephone number, and 
other information directly related to status or interest in 
participation in such activities.
    For current or former participants in Exchange-operated child care 
and development centers, records in the system include identification 
and other information facilitating enrollment in the entity and proper 
care of the children. Records include information such as home and work 
addresses, email addresses, and telephone numbers; financial payment 
information; emergency contact names, addresses and telephone numbers; 
children's names and pictures as well as their health care and 
insurance providers; medical histories; physical, emotional, or other 
special care requirements; and child care and educational development 
center correspondence with parents/guardians such as authorizations to 
release the child to another person or field trip permission slips.

OF USERS AND THE PURPOSE OF SUCH USES:
    Any disclosures of information will be compatible with the purpose 
for which the Agency collected the information. The following are 
routine uses: (1) To provide information to insurance carriers with 
regard to worker's compensation, health and accident, and retirement 
insurance coverages; (2) to provide employment or credit information to 
third parties as requested by a current or former Exchange employee to 
whom the records pertain; (3) to provide various Federal, State, and 
local taxing authorities itemized listing of withholdings for 
individual income taxes; (4) to respond to State employment 
compensation requests for wage and separation data on former employees; 
(5) to report previous job injuries to worker's compensation 
organizations; (6) for person to notify in an emergency; (7) to report 
unemployment records to appropriate State and local authorities; and

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM: STORAGE:
    Records in this system are maintained on electronic media and/or as 
hard-copy documents.

For children or parents/guardians associated with child care 
facilities, records may be retrieved by either the child's or parent's/

SAFEGUARDS:
    Records are maintained on secure NASA servers and protected in 
accordance with all Federal standards and those established in NASA 
regulations at 14 CFR 1212.605. Additionally, server and data 
management environments employ infrastructure encryption technologies 
both in data transmission and at rest on servers. Approved security 
plans are in place for systems containing the records in accordance 
with OMB Circular A-130, Management of Federal Information Resources. 
Only authorized personnel requiring information in the official 
discharge of their duties are authorized access to records through 
approved access or authentication methods. Access to electronic records 
is achieved only from workstations within the NASA Intranet or via a 
secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection that requires two-
factor hardware token authentication. Non-electronic records are 
secured in locked rooms or files.
