Privacy

A white keyboard spelling out the word "privacy" against a black backdrop.

Both the Alaska and U.S. Constitution protect the right to privacy for every Alaskan.

We have sought limits on how and when the government can obtain our information and what they can do with that information, and work to ensure lawmakers pass policies that safeguard citizens' privacy rights.
