Generally Accepted Privacy Principles (GAPP) is a comprehensive privacy framework that is designed to assist management in creating an effective privacy program that addresses privacy risks and business opportunities. It was developed under a joint effort of the CICA and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) through the AICPA/CICA Privacy Task Force. Formerly known as the AICPA/CICA Privacy Framework, it is founded on a single privacy principle that is supported by 10 principles and over 70 objective and measurable criteria.

GAPP can be used by organizations to perform a thorough review of their privacy practices, such as: - Privacy policy design and implementation
- Performance Measurement
- Benchmarking
- Monitoring and auditing privacy programs
