This policy provides an overview of how Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ University, in some instances, may retrieve personal and non-University files, data and/or information stored electronically on Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ computers, devices or systems for individuals no longer employed by Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ.
This policy applies to the retrieval of personal files, data or information of former employees stored on Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ devices or systems.
As a general matter, all workstations, computers and other electronic devices provided by Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ to employees are Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ property and should be used solely for fulfilling job duties and responsibilities. As such, personal documents, pictures, and other non-work-related data or files should not be saved to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ systems, computers or devices. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ is not responsible for any personal data, information or files stored or saved on Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ systems or devices.
In the event a Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ employee leaves employment with Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ, voluntarily or involuntarily, and has personal data, files or information stored on University systems or devices, the employee should submit a request to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s Human Resources Departments for Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ to attempt to retrieve such personal information. Requests should be made as soon as possible and should include as much detail as possible. The University will review such requests and evaluate the scope and scale of work involved to attempt to retrieve such files and inform the individual if Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ is able to accommodate such requests. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ is under no obligation to retrieve personal data and reserves the right at its discretion to deny requests for the same.
