Purpose

This policy provides an overview of how Â鶹ŮÀÉ University, in some instances, may retrieve personal and non-University files, data and/or information stored electronically on Â鶹ŮÀÉ computers, devices or systems for individuals no longer employed by Â鶹ŮÀÉ.

Scope

This policy applies to the retrieval of personal files, data or information of former employees stored on Â鶹ŮÀÉ devices or systems.

Policy

As a general matter, all workstations, computers and other electronic devices provided by Â鶹ŮÀÉ to employees are Â鶹ŮÀÉ 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 Â鶹ŮÀÉ systems, computers or devices. Â鶹ŮÀÉ is not responsible for any personal data, information or files stored or saved on Â鶹ŮÀÉ systems or devices.

In the event a Â鶹ŮÀÉ employee leaves employment with Â鶹ŮÀÉ, voluntarily or involuntarily, and has personal data, files or information stored on University systems or devices, the employee should submit a request to Â鶹ŮÀÉ’s Human Resources Departments for Â鶹ŮÀÉ 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 Â鶹ŮÀÉ is able to accommodate such requests. Â鶹ŮÀÉ is under no obligation to retrieve personal data and reserves the right at its discretion to deny requests for the same.
