What is an Information Policy
Information policy is the set of all public laws, regulations
and policies that encourage, discourage, or regulate the
creation, use, storage, access, and communication and
dissemination of information.[1] It thus encompasses any other
decision-making practice with society-wide constitutive efforts
that involve the flow of information and how it is processed.[2]
