You’ve likely seen privacy and the issue of questionable use of data in the news a lot lately, especially in relation to certain Silicon Valley companies. However, there are many privacy considerations on a university campus too! Back by popular demand, the UC San Diego Privacy Office has scheduled new intro to privacy sessions. These fun and informative sessions will discuss privacy issues here on campus and how individuals can best protect themselves and the personal data they handle. Trainings will also provide basics of two recently-enacted privacy laws, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), both impact how UC San Diego handles personal data, including data about applicants, faculty and staff, research participants, alumni, online learners, public databases, etc. This training is ideal for anyone who handles personal data, IT professionals, managers, researchers, or any students, faculty, or staff who want to learn how to protect their own data.
