Information is that which informs.

In other words, it is the answer to a question of some kind.

It is thus related to data and knowledge, as data represents values attributed to parameters, and knowledge signifies understanding of real things or abstract concepts.

As it regards data, the information's existence is not necessarily coupled to an observer (it exists beyond an event horizon, for example), while in the case of knowledge, the information requires a cognitive observer.

A policy is a deliberate system of principles to guide decisions and achieve rational outcomes.

A policy is a statement of intent, and is implemented as a procedure or protocol.

Policies are generally adopted by the Board of or senior governance body within an organization where as procedures or protocols would be developed and adopted by senior executive officers.

Policies can assist in both subjective and objective decision making.

Policies to assist in subjective decision making would usually assist senior management with decisions that must consider the relative merits of a number of factors before making decisions and as a result are often hard to objectively test e.g. work-life balance policy.

In contrast policies to assist in objective decision making are usually operational in nature and can be objectively tested e.g. password policy.
