The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency on Wednesday updated rules relating to the collection, retention and dissemination of information of Americans. New rules put a limit of five years on holding certain sensitive data and introducing restrictions for querying the data. The announcement comes a couple of days before a new administration under President-elect Donald Trump takes charge. Civil rights groups have expressed concerns about the collection and handling of information in the course of overseas surveillance. Such information is collected by the CIA under Executive Order 12333. The new rules come into force on March 18.”]
