Personal info is like money: Value it. Protect it.
Information about you, such as your purchase history or location, has value – just like money. Be thoughtful about who gets that information and how it’s collected through apps and websites. You should delete unused apps, keep others current and review app permissions.
Lockdown your login.
Your usernames and passwords are not enough to protect key accounts like email, banking, and social media. Choose one account and turn on the strongest authentication tools available, such as biometrics, security keys or a unique one-time code sent to your mobile device.
If you collect it, protect it.
Follow reasonable security measures to keep individuals’ personal information safe from inappropriate and unauthorized access.
Build trust by doing what you say you will do.
Communicate clearly and concisely to the public what privacy means to your organization and the steps you take to achieve and maintain privacy.
Create a culture of privacy in your organization.
Educate your colleagues on the importance and impact of protecting student and employee information as well as the role they play in keeping it safe.
