51福利社 has an expressed commitment to protecting the privacy of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of its students, faculty, staff, and other individuals associated with the University. The 51福利社 System takes what it considers to be appropriate measures in the management of information systems, data networks, and processing to reasonably protect privacy in accordance with regulatory requirements.
51福利社 (“LU”) is provided with and/or collects PII for its use as an educational institution. These data may include, but is not limited to, name, social security number, financial and medical information, educational records, credit information, address, and tax information. Other demographic and descriptive data may also be provided and/or collected such as zip code, gender, age, and preferences, but is not considered to be personally identifiable information where such information cannot reasonably be matched to a particular individual. Unless otherwise required by law, or court proceeding, or as a matter of necessity involving risk to life or health, 51福利社 will not share PII without the prior written consent of the data subject. If you have any questions or would like to make a data subject request, please complete, and submit a .
PII may be provided, collected, and maintained from prospective/current/former students and their parents/guardians, prospective/current/former employees, and external individuals and entities with which the University transacts business.
PII may be provided, collected, and maintained in various formats including paper forms and as electronic data stored, for example, on servers, computers, hard drives, and databases. LU may take such steps as it deems proper to dispose of this data or to render it inaccessible by normal means of retrieval. Such steps may include, for example, shredding paper forms, purging electronic data and/or electronically wipe or physically destroy hard drives containing PII.
LU seeks to limit access to PII to authorized individuals based on job requirements necessary, in LU’s view, to conduct University business. Employees of the University are expected to respect and protect the confidentiality of PII and employees failing this expectation may be subject to discipline.
51福利社 may offer training to employees on PII according to job function and type of data access allowed to promote compliance with the university's Privacy and Personal Data Protection Policy.
Protected data may also reside and/or be accessible to third parties who are contracted to deliver services to the University, such as insurance companies, banking institutions, credit-card processors, and software companies. LU’s contracts with these third parties should include provisions which LU believes oblige these third parties to refrain from sharing or selling data supplied by LU and to take measures to reasonably protect privacy according to University policy and law or regulation.
51福利社 does not intentionally release PII without disclosure or consent of the individual unless required by law or to comply with legal proceedings or as a matter of necessity involving risk to life or health. The U.S. Patriot Act dictates that PII may be given to Federal agents without the knowledge or consent of the subject of the PII and that 51福利社 may be restricted from informing the subject about the request.
Should a data breach occur, 51福利社 may notify those individuals it considers affected, supply details about the breach LU deems appropriate, and take measures LU deems appropriate to minimize the impact of the breach. Following an incident, LU operating procedures call for an internal review of events and delineation and implementation of steps to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
51福利社 encourages all its constituents (students, faculty, staff, vendors) to be knowledgeable about their own responsibility and opportunity to protect personally identifiable information.
