Greetings, folks. I see I'm late to this party! I combined the various comments in this thread for ease of following. This is indeed a very confusing part of privacy law, particularly when it comes to the details, and some parts seem to go against common sense. And while there are places where you can ...

Found In Egroup: Data Governance Community Group \ view thread

It also gets a bit trickier if you're talking about personal data, the owner of which may, arguably, be the data subject. So, we use "data trustees" and "stewards" as well. It's also sometimes unclear who the ...

Greetings. Yes, our university is talking about these arrangements. As you noted, Taylor, one area of dialogue is where students create accounts on their own. The other is where instructors require a tool for the course and agree to the edtech's terms of service or sign a contract on their own (without ...

Do you classify individual data elements? Yes. How does your elemental data classification relate to system classification? Only in that the system classification cannot be lower than the highest data element classification. University of California has two different classifications: One is the Protection ...

Hi, Melissa. We are working through two different "governance" issues here on our campus.

One was to describe things like data structures, definitions, availability, usability, and ...

Similar to you, Blanche, we also ask them to fill out a form so we can authenticate them, but we will accommodate other ways if they don't want to fill out the form. We do let them know that either way we'll need to authenticate them and that we will not take any action until we've done so, whether through ...

Thanks, Svetla. It would be helpful if we had more guidance on appropriate data use, rather than just disclosures. In particular, more concrete guidance on what is and is not a legitimate educational interest. This is important in universities' efforts around EDI, creation of data lakes, IR, advancement, ...
