Public Report: Priorities and Guiding Principles for Protecting Patron Privacy
Task Force Charge
Effective date: February 26, 2020
The Data Privacy and Retention Task Force will commence its work in April 2020, starting with a thorough review of the DUL Data Privacy and Retention Audit report. The Executive Group charges the Task Force to develop a list of priorities and guiding principles for the Duke University Libraries related to data privacy and retention. Through collaboration with EG, the Task Force will create and charge sub-teams to use the approved guiding principles to create policies and implement data retention and privacy actions based on the priorities defined. The outcomes of this activity are expected to be in the form of documentation and communication of best practices, recommendations for licensing strategies of content or software, defining opt-out actions for users, automated and systematic actions on data, etc.
Note: The Task Force completed its work in Spring of 2021 and distributed both a report of its findings and a proposal for future activities to improve the privacy landscape at DUL.
