- Daniel Schwalbe, Ann Nagel, Suzanne Blais presenting
- New policy statements are now available
- Locations
- University of Washington Online Privacy Statement
- University of Washington Web Site Terms and Conditions of Use
- Placement
- Look at the footer on the UW home page (http://uw.edu/) for an example
- Links should be in the footer of every page. Standard footers in the Marketing provided templates, including WordPress and Drupal, now include the links
- Do not reproduce the language in your pages, just link to the privacy and terms pages, as they will be updated through time
- Basically says by using the site you are agreeing to collectng the personally identifiable information
- Providing the information may be a condition to using the site, such as an employment application
- How do you implement link to policy from Facebook or Twitter?
- Whenever someone leaves your site to go to social media, important to have terms and privacy info available on the page they launch from
- Policy statement on personally identifiable information" is something different
- It is being updated as well and should be out shortly
- Locations
- Much work went into these statements and into thinking about how they should be used
- Linking to these pages is REQUIRED
- Linking to the pages helps protect you
- What about sites that collaborate with the UW?
- Trickier when they are external sites, but if referring to the UW as a brand, good idea to have the links on their pages
- Anything within uw.edu or washington.edu domain should have the policy linked to from every page
- If hosted within the UW domain yet has a different URL, it should still have policy links
- If associated with the UW, the UW privacy policy should prevail because the organization is receiving the benefit of the association with UW
- If hosted within the UW domain yet has a different URL, it should still have policy links
- Better to have the links. The policies will protect you, even if in a specific case they does not fully apply
- When negotiating for external services (example: UW Google Apps) take care to include the topic of whose privacy policy applies in your negotiation agenda
- Next Meeting, Thursday June 9
- Terrill Thompson will talk about how to make accessible PDF files
