The PPS Number may only be used by persons authorised to do so under Social Welfare legislation ( PPS Number Legislation). Data may only be shared using the PPS Number as a common identifier where the sharing is authorised by law e.g. Data Protection or Social Welfare law. Data protection principles must be upheld with regard to the PPS Number and all reasonable security steps should be taken with regard to the storage and handling of the PPS Number and associated data. The PPS Number is intended to be used for the purpose of accurately identifying the individual in the administration of public services. It should only be given to and used by public bodies and should not be randomly disclosed. As a unique identifier for individuals the PPS Number is a valuable piece of personal information that should be respected and safeguarded against misappropriation or misuse.

Ní cheadaítear sonraí a roinnt ach amháin ag baint úsáide as an Uimhir PSP mar aitheantóir coitianta ina bhfuil an roinnt sin údaraithe de réir an dlí, m.sh. an Dlí um Chosaint Sonraí nó an Dlí Leasa Shóisialaigh. . Ní mór cloí leis na prionsabail um chosaint sonraí maidir leis an Uimhir PSP agus gach beart slándála réasúnta a ghlacadh maidir le stóráil agus láimhseáil na hUimhreach PSP agus sonraí gaolmhara. Tá sé beartaithe go n-úsáidfear an Uimhir PSP chun an duine aonar a aithint go cruinn nuair a bhíonn seirbhísí poiblí á riar.
