Privacy at RIT
RIT is aware that privacy is a priority for our students, faculty, staff and alumni and leadership is committed to assessing the critical privacy issues that impact the RIT community.
Rochester Institute of Technology's Privacy Policy was adopted to clarify the legitimate expectations of privacy by those individuals who are present at RIT facilities or at official RIT events, or who use RIT electronic resources.
Please review the frequently asked questions for an overview of the policy.
A standing committee was established for the purpose of providing guidance to leadership on privacy issues related to Institute business. Membership on the committee is drawn from a broad cross-section of the RIT community. Questions with respect to the administration of the Committee or the Privacy Policy may be referred to the Committee Chairperson.
