Data Privacy
Data Privacy is an IT Services effort to help people protect their privacy and control their digital footprint, as well as escalate the protection of privacy and data as everyone's priority. The University of Scranton will provide tips on how to keep our information private and protected against unwarranted access.
Our security information site at: www.scranton.edu/staysafe offers tips to help insure the privacy and protection of information we use at the university and our personal data, as well.
The IT Training Data Privacy Page provides our community with current tips for improved privacy and security practices we can use to safeguard our data.
Identity Finder
We're introducing Identity Finder to the university community. This easy-to-use program will allow us to secure all the files on our computers, that may contain personal or university data that needs to be protected. These files may include social security numbers, credit card numbers, passwords, and more, that we may not even know still exist on our computers.

Training is available through IT Services. Call the Technology Support Center for more information at ext. 4357.
