Everyone at GHC is responsible for the protection of our students’ privacy and their personal information. However, you don’t need to understand the nuances of every privacy regulation currently affecting higher education to tackle data privacy issues on campus.

Always start with privacy.

• Include privacy in the planning phase of all new projects.
• If you don’t need personal information, don’t collect it. You can always ask for more information later.
• Inform your students about why you’re collecting their personal information.

Keep and use data securely.

• Keep personal information confidential and limit access to the data.
• Make sure you’re only using the data the way you said you’d use it. Ensure you get the customer’s consent before you use it otherwise.
• Destroy or de-identify private information when you no longer need it.
