"The United States is committed to protecting the personal information of all people around the world, regardless of their nationality. Indeed, it is our longstanding practice to conduct signal intelligence(SIGINT) activities only for authorized foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes, and to safeguard information obtained through such means from unauthorized acess or disclosure. On January 17, 2014, the President issued Presidential Policy Directive (PPD), 28, Signals Intelligence Activities, which "articulates principles to guide why, whether, when, and how the United States conducts SIGINT activities for authorized foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes.""
