7. Data Security
蜜桔直播 implements stringent security measures wherever possible to promote confidentiality,
integrity, and availability of any information in the possession of the University
per the University鈥檚 . 蜜桔直播 websites that allow users to submit information voluntarily utilize encryption
to prevent third-parties from viewing the submitted data. Personal information voluntarily
submitted via email cannot leverage encryption in most cases, and thus email is not
a mechanism that 蜜桔直播 will recommend for submitting confidential and/or personal data.
Users that submit unsolicited confidential and/or personal information via email must
do so at their own risk.
While the security of user data is of the utmost importance to 蜜桔直播, due to the nature
of Internet communications, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be completely secure. Any information transmitted to 蜜桔直播 by the user is done so
at the user鈥檚 own risk. Once the information is received by 蜜桔直播, the University will
make every effort to ensure the security of data on the 蜜桔直播 systems.
If an individual鈥檚 sensitive personal information and/or other personal information
is compromised, 蜜桔直播 will notify the individuals affected and inform appropriate governing agencies,
per our .
