Protecting sensitive data and personally identifiable information (PII) is just as important as protecting buildings and devices. Compromised data puts a person's identity at risk. UWF employees have a responsibility to protect the data of all UWF students; this includes prospective, current, and former UWF students.
Examples of personally identifiable information
Addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers

Student grades, scores, and schedules

City of birth
Passwords and credentials
Medical, counseling, and health insurance information
Biometric data (e.g. fingerprints, voice, or typing rhythm)
Examples of other sensitive data
Not all personally identifiable information is equally sensitive
Some personal information is considered particularly sensitive under the law.
