Selective and protected release of private information/data to an incident response team (for example, public safety personnel) is disclosed. The private data (which pertains to individuals recorded as being within a premises at the time of an incident with respect to which the incident response team is responding to) may take the form of a system-generated log, which may be transferred to a first level of the public safety personnel once authenticated. Based on at least one of role, incident type, and incident severity, the first level of authenticated public safety personnel may release at least a portion of the private data to a second level of authenticated public safety personnel.
