KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
Your Trust
Maintaining your trust in us is important to the University of Utah. We each leave a trail of data as we move throughout the digital and physical world. Here at the U of U, our important work intersects with many different privacy laws and regulations. As a state entity, certain Utah- specific privacy laws apply to how we collect, process, and store your information. As a HIPAA Hybrid Covered Entity, federal regulations apply to how we protect and disclose protected health information.
As an institution of higher education, other federal and state laws apply to how we protect student information. Many people are involved in making sure the information we are trusted with is secured according to these intersecting laws and regulations. Most importantly, we want to make sure that the people who visit our websites, receive services at our institution, and work and learn in our community, trust that we are keeping their information private and know their rights and how to exercise those rights.
