Privacy Statement
Yale University Privacy Statement
Yale University, ("Yale" or "the University") collects, uses, and shares personal
information in support of our academic, research, and clinical missions and to
ensure the safety of the Yale community. In Yale's management of personal
information, we seek to minimize the information we collect; limit access to that
information; apply appropriate security measures to protect against loss,
improper modification or disclosure; and respect the unique privacy needs of an
academic environment.
This Privacy Statement applies to activities conducted by Yale and is meant to
provide an overview of University privacy practices, including how we may
collect, retain, process, share, and transfer your personal information. Some
individual Yale websites may have their own privacy notices or additional privacy
statements that supplement this Privacy Statement. In addition, some Yale
websites may have links to external websites that are not owned or controlled by
Yale. Yale is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such
websites.
Please review this statement carefully. By using this website or submitting
information to Yale, you are consenting to our collection and use of information
in accordance with Yale policies for Yale's legitimate business purposes or as
needed to provide services you request from Yale.
I. Collection and use of information
"Personal information," also known as personally identifiable information, is any
information that relates to an identifiable person. Examples of personal
information include name, mailing address, phone number, email address, date of
birth, University Personal Identifier, as well as employment records, student
records, and health records that include identifying information. Information
that does not identify a person and cannot reasonably be used to identify a
person is not personal information.
Personal information we have received may be used only for legitimate University
purposes as authorized by the appropriate data steward (see [9]University Policy
1601: Information Access and Security).
Yale obtains personal information in three ways:
· Information you provide directly to us, such as through registration as a
patient or through an application for admission or employment.
· Information we gather from other sources, such as transcripts provided by
other schools or reference letters from former employers.
· Information that is automatically collected when interacting with a
University website or mobile application.
1. Information you provide to us or that we collect from third parties
Personal information you provide to us or that we collect from third parties is
used to provide services to you and for administration of the University,
including administering university programs and operations, responding to your
requests, providing promotional or educational materials that may be of interest
to you, completing requested transactions such as the purchase of event tickets,
conducting internal research, improving our programs, and to meet our legal and
reporting obligations. The personal information collected will be stored in the
United States and will be transferred to the US if collected internationally. In
addition, personal information may be transferred to our venders in the US and in
other countries, so long as those venders have signed an agreement with Yale to
protect the privacy of the information in accordance with applicable data
protection laws. The details of these uses depend on the types of services you
are receiving and your affiliation with the University. Some of our more common
uses are described below:
a. Student Information
Student information may include your name, contact information, Net ID, student
provided profile information, academic performance, interactions with University
resources, building access, immunization status, health information,
documentation in support of academic accommodations, dietary needs, payment
information such as credit card or banking information, tax ID numbers,
participation in extracurricular activities, and any other information you
provide to us in your capacity as a student. We may combine information you
provide directly with information from third parties. This information may be
used to manage student academic and residential activities such as course
registrations, housing assignments, dining hall access, billing and financial aid
including certifications to lenders for the purpose of loan deferral, NCAA
compliance, student advising, library resource management, course evaluation and
quality improvement initiatives, academic and other accommodations related to
disabilities, and in other ways. The use and disclosure of student information
is managed in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA). Our practices with regard to personal information about current or
former students are described in our FERPA statement at
[10]https://registrar.yale.edu/rights-privacy/student-rights-under-ferpa.
Registration in online and campus-based courses with an online component will
lead to collection of personal information, including your name, University net
ID, email address, and any information you voluntarily provide in creating a
learner profile. For both online courses and campus-based courses with an online
component, we and our education vendors collect information on your interactions
with the course, including online interactions with other course participants,
posts to the learning community, engagement with course materials, and test and
assignment scores.
International students who will be attending Yale will be asked to provide
information to the Office of International Students and Scholars, which helps
students apply for and maintain the appropriate visa status. Information you
provide, including your name, contact information, and financial resources, and
your enrollment status will be shared as required with the US Department of
Homeland Security.
b. Prospective Student Information
Yale collects information related to prospective students and their family
members in order to process applications for admission and determine eligibility
for financial aid. The information provided in your application will be available
to university staff and admission reviewers and stored in the US. The
application requires that you provide your name and contact information,
educational and employment history, recommendations, test scores where
applicable, and other materials needed to assess your application to study at
Yale. If you are applying for financial aid, you will be asked to provide
financial information, including tax ID number, wages, scholarships, family
financial resources, and access to standardized financial aid applications, such
as FAFSA. Any personal information collected for admissions purposes is
collected either directly from you or with your consent. The information you
provide may be shared with third-party software vendors, who are contractually
obligated to protect the privacy and security of the information. The University
may use information from admissions applications for internal quality improvement
and other administrative processes necessary to provide educational services.
If admitted to Yale, the information will become part of your student record and
will be subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA, 34 CFR
Part 99).
c. Alumni and Donor Information
Our practices with regard to alumni and donor information, whether provided by
you or third parties, can be found at [11]Alumni Affairs & Development's Personal
Information Disclosure.
d. Patient Information
Our practices with regard to personal information collected in the course of
providing patient care or as a health plan for our employees are described in our
HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices available at [12]https://hipaa.yale.edu
e. Human Resource and Employment Information
Yale collects personal information, such as contact and demographic information,
employment and educational background, salary and benefits, banking information
for payroll deposits, tax and withholding information, and information related to
job performance, in connection with employment applications, required federal
filings, personnel management and for human resources management and trend
analysis.
International scholars who will be working at Yale will be asked to provide
information to the Office of International Students and Scholars, which helps
scholars apply for and maintain the appropriate visa status. Information you
provide, including your name, contact information, and financial resources, and
your employment status will be shared as required with the US Department of
Homeland Security.
Yale Employee Health serves as the University's occupational health department
and provides health services related to workforce health and safety including
management of workplace injury, oversight of employee immunization requirements,
medical surveillance, and workforce medical clearances. In this context,
Employee Health collects and creates health information about employees and
prospective employees and retains this information in accordance with state and
federal employment requirements for confidentiality of employee medical
information. This information includes medical records that you have provided
or released to Yale. Where appropriate this information may be shared with
relevant University staff, including supervisors, to promote workplace health and
safety.
Employees whose role requires access to restricted facilities may be asked to
provide biometric information such as iris scans which are used to control access
to areas with sensitive information or materials. Where biometric information is
needed, the employee will be notified regarding the data collection. Use is
limited to those purposes described in the notice. Biometric information is
secured in accordance with University policies for high-risk data and will only
be disclosed as needed to manage access, with your consent, or as required by
law. Biometric information is destroyed as soon as no longer needed for the
collected purposes unless required to be retained under applicable law or
regulation.
f. Research Participants
Yale researchers gather personal information to conduct scientific studies. In
most cases, researchers collect personal information as agreed to by participants
in study consent forms, but researchers may gather information from other sources
with approval from our institutional review board (a research ethics board).
Commonly collected information includes name, contact information, interview and
survey responses, and medical records. Yale's institutional review board sets
standards to minimize the amount of information collected and to limit access to
the information. Information collected internationally will be transferred to the
United States for analysis and retained through the project period. In some
cases, the information may be retained indefinitely and archived for public
interest, scientific or historical research or statistical purposes.
Participant's rights in research information may be limited in some cases based
on study integrity needs and required reporting to federal agencies, such as the
Food and Drug Administration.
g. Information stored on Yale Information Technology (IT) Systems
Yale's policies and procedures regarding access to faculty, staff, and student
information stored in Yale IT systems are described in [13]Yale Policy 1607
Information Technology Appropriate Use Policy. The University will not access IT
systems without user consent except in the limited circumstances described in
Policy 1607.
Yale may utilize application logs in university systems in order to improve data
accuracy or to improve user experience. For example, some university systems
allow machine learning to identify possible data entry errors such as a time
sheet with entries outside a staff member's normal work schedule and then flag
these for review by the user or supervisor. Other features may use application
logs to enhance user navigation based on frequent use patterns.
2. Information automatically collected from use of our website or mobile
applications
Unless you take steps to browse the Internet anonymously, or [14]opt out, Yale,
like most institutions and organizations on the Internet, tracks visitors'
web-browsing patterns. Generic information is collected through the use of
"cookies," which are text files placed on your computer to evaluate usage
patterns so that we can improve both content and distribution. You may refuse to
accept cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, but doing
so may prevent you from using the full functionality of all of our websites.
Some sections of the Yale website use Google Analytics, a service provided by
Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze the use of our
site. This information is transmitted to Google and stored on its servers, and
Google uses this information on Yale's behalf to evaluate use of the website,
compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to
Internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where
required to do so by law, or where third parties process the information on
Google's behalf. The information generated by cookies about your use of the
website includes your IP address, but Google will not associate your IP address
with any other information held by Google. By using Yale's website, you consent
to the processing of information about you by Google in the manner and for the
purposes set out above. Please visit the following pages for more information on
Google Analytics [15]terms of use and Google's [16]privacy practices.
Yale maintains an information security office, charged with monitoring the
security of Yale IT systems and IT infrastructure. Industry-standard practices
are employed to identify and respond to vulnerabilities, attacks, or compromises
impacting Yale IT assets or Yale information.
II. Sharing of Personal Information
Yale may share your personal information with companies that provide services to
Yale so that we can provide services to you and properly manage the University.
We endeavor to minimize the information provided to our service providers and to
obtain appropriate agreements with regard to their handling of personal
information. We may also share personal information as necessary to comply with
applicable laws and regulations, to detect and prevent fraud, to protect the
security of our information, and to protect the rights and safety of others.
III. Information retention
We follow applicable laws governing the retention of your personal information.
We retain your information for as long as needed to fulfill our business and
archival purposes, and some information may be retained indefinitely. Factors
that influence the length of time we retain your information include our legal
obligations, our need for information to provide services to you, and our
interest in preserving historical records of the University and our activities.
IV. Your rights in the personal information we collect
You may have the right to view, amend, or request that Yale delete personal
information. For details, see the privacy statements related to the types of
information we collect above. Requests to view, amend or delete personal
information may be made by sending an email to [17]privacy@yale.edu. We may
require additional information to verify your identity prior to processing your
request.
