The
Arkansas government has information about individuals,
or which can be identified or associated with a
particular individual, and this information is
contained in the public records of the Arkansas state
and local government. The Arkansas Freedom of
Information Act addresses the type of government
information which is available to the public. See
Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-105. Information generally
available under the Arkansas Freedom of Information
Act and not made confidential elsewhere in the
Arkansas Code or by federal law may be posted for
electronic access through the Information Network of
Arkansas. |

The
Arkansas Freedom of Information Act recognizes many
concerns people have with regard to public records
that include information about them, including the
right to correct inaccurate information. Consequently,
persons concerned with regard to information about
them should contact the custodian of the record, which
typically is the state agency or other governmental
entity that collects and maintains the information. |

same controls and uses as that collected by
governmental offices visited in person, again subject
to the access and confidentiality provisions of the
Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, Ark Code Ann.,
§§ 25-19-101 through 25-19-107, or to other
applicable sections of the Arkansas Code. You do not
