WSU Private data is information that has a low to moderate sensitivity and is intended for internal university business use only, with access restricted to a specific workgroup, department, group of individuals or affiliates with the legitimate need to use or access the information. A few examples include myWSU ID’s, information technology transaction logs and non-directory information or student records that are protected under FERPA. See WSU policy 19.20 / Data Sensitivity Classification for more specific information about WSU Private data.
WSU Private data is information that still warrants careful handling through use of privacy principles such as data minimization, storage limitations and purposeful use. Finding out what these principles are and how you can apply them is easy, just visit the Privacy SharePoint Site. Using these guiding privacy principles can help to protect the privacy of the students and other members of the WSU community we serve. Check back tomorrow for information on what is considered Restricted data at WSU.
