  • CASILC protects personal information. The Department takes precautions and security measures to protect the personal information collected or maintained by CASILC against loss, unauthorized access, use, modification, or disclosure.
  • CASILC tells people who provide personal information about their right to review that information. Individuals who provide personal information to CASILC have the right to review the information for accuracy and completeness and to request corrections or deletions.
