Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
The Postal Service proposes to revise the following existing systems of records titled, ``USPS 810.100, https://www.usps.com Registration,'' ``USPS 810.200, https://www.usps.com Ordering, Payment and Fulfillment,'' and ``USPS 860.000, Financial Transactions.'' The modifications clarify user information in Categories of Records in the System, Purpose, Retention and Disposal and Systems Manager(s). Background: The Postal Service's commitment to universal service is based on a foundation of providing secure products and services to postal customers. As a trusted organization, the Postal Service faces a variety of security challenges which require investigative, preventive, and security responses. The Postal Service works collaboratively with internal and external groups to ensure new postal products and services are secure, thus maintaining customers' confidence in the mail and satisfying their personal and business needs. This includes providing postal customers with secure access to products and services in all channels. As online access to retail products and services has grown, new types of fraudulent activities have emerged to challenge the security of online transactions. The Postal Service has responded by developing fraud prevention initiatives designed to protect the security of financial transactions on usps.com. These initiatives include enhanced capabilities for ensuring the accuracy and security of credit card transactions conducted by national and international customers on usps.com. Modifications to the systems of records will be reflected in the Categories of Records in the System as it relates to business-specific and user information, purpose, and retention and disposal of online user information.
