Title: Polygraph/SF-86 a matter of public record?
Post by: neko6 on May 12, 2008, 10:43 AM
I have a question - is it true that your answers to the SF-86 and the polygrapher's report become a matter of public record? I'm thinking federal law enforcement, not intel like CIA

For example, would an insurance company be able to use the info against you?

(I'm not asking for any specific reason, jut saw something else on the net that made me think of this.)

No and no. Forms SF-86 and federal polygraph reports fall under the protections of the Privacy Act (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_Act_of_1974). While they can be released to other federal agencies, they cannot be released to private entities, such as your insurance company.

Thanks for the info!

I think I read somewhere on this board about getting a copy of my examiners report. Will the federal agency release the information to me?

You can file a Privacy Act request for information about you held by federal agencies, including polygraph reports. The CIA, however, has an exemption and won't provide such reports.

THANKS!!

I had a bit of an interesting experience with the whole thing and I am curious as to how this was reported.
