When a non-criminal justice agency is approved to access System Data, what does 'limited basis' mean?

When a non-criminal justice agency is approved to access System Data on a 'limited basis', it specifically refers to the access granted to only those data points that have been explicitly approved by the IDACS Committee. This designation ensures that the agency's access is controlled, and that they can only utilize data that aligns with their operational needs and the guidelines established by the oversight committee.

This limitation is in place to protect sensitive information and maintain the integrity of the data, as not all information in the system may be appropriate for non-criminal justice entities to access. The IDACS Committee evaluates the needs and justifications provided by the agency, ensuring that they comply with legal and ethical standards when accessing data.

In contrast, the other options imply broader or unrestricted access, which does not align with the intent of maintaining strict control over sensitive data access. Public data access does not encompass the nuances involved in a controlled access framework, which is critical for safeguarding the privacy and security of the information stored in the system.
