Whose data does the GDPR protect?
The GDPR protects personal data of data subjects located in the EU. GDPR applies to EU data subjects regardless of their citizenship or nationality.

What constitutes personal data?
Personal data are any information about an identified or identifiable data subject, which can include direct identifiers, such as name, address, email address, and national identification numbers, or indirect identifiers such as location data or IP address. This list of data elements is not exhaustive, and the definition of personal data under GDPR may be broad.
Who does the GDPR affect?
Organizations (regardless of where they are located) that offer goods or services to people in the EU or that collect data on people located in the EU also must follow GDPR.
What do employees need to do if we receive inquiries about how we handle GDPR data?
For guidance dealing with these inquiries use the campus contacts as appropriate. Any further questions can be directed to the Office of the General Counsel.
What do employees do if a vendor or third-party provider contacts us about GDPR?
GDPR is a current hot-topic for vendors and the media to fill our phones and inboxes. For the most part these unsolicited messages should be ignored. If a vendor or third-party contacts you specific to an existing 欧美口爆视频 agreement, refer the matter to the appropriate campus contact.
