My email often contains sensitive information. How can I be sure that this information won't be compromised?
The vendor that scans messages for viruses is obligated by contract to adhere to Penn's Privacy Polices. The email virus scanning vendor reserves the right to utilize any Virus related content of an email or its attachments solely for the purposes of:
- maintaining and improving the performance and the integrity of the service;
- observing, studying and/or testing the functioning of the service; and
- making available to affiliates any virus-related content from an email that is not classified as confidential, solely for the purpose of enhancing the Service and protecting against viruses.
Prior to utilizing any virus related content of an email or its attachments solely for the purposes of complying with all regulatory or legal requirements (including any required compliance with law enforcement authorities), the vendor shall provide at least two (2) business days advance notice to the University of Pennsylvania, to determine whether, and if so, what, virus related content of an email or its attachments needs to be disclosed to law enforcement authorities or otherwise, in order to comply with any regulatory or legal requirement (including, without limitation, any required compliance with law enforcement authorities).
