(a) The Commission shall strive to collect and maintain all personal data with accuracy and completeness. The Commission shall, when practical and consistent with its needs and purpose, collect personal data directly from the person to whom a record pertains.

(b) Personal data will not be maintained by the Commission unless relevant and necessary to accomplish the lawful purposes of the agency. Where the Commission finds irrelevant or unnecessary records in its possession, it shall dispose of the records in accordance with the Commission's record retention schedule or request permission from the public records administrator to dispose of the records under section 11-8a of the Connecticut General Statutes.

(c) All employees of the Commission shall take reasonable precautions to protect personal data under their custody from the danger of fire, theft, flood, natural disaster or other physical threat.
