Today is Data Privacy Day! To celebrate, we're featuring important information about your privacy rights, including new University policies designed to protect you and the UD community.

The President’s executive committee approved the UD Information Security Events Reporting policy on December 3, 2021. This policy is foundational to the University's cybersecurity event response.

While information “security” focuses on safeguarding information once you have it, information “privacy” addresses, among other things, whether you can collect information at all, especially personally identifiable information. The UD Privacy Program will make available a variety of resources to help inform students and employees about applicable legal requirements for data they collect or use.
