Effective: 2024-07-03

Overview

At Indiana University (IU), we are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information entrusted to us. By accessing and using IU's services, you acknowledge and consent to the practices described in our global privacy statement here: https://privacy.iu.edu/privacy/global.html.

For additional information outlining how University Information Technology Services collects, uses, and safeguards personal information obtained specifically through our website (https://servicenow.iu.edu/kb), please also review the information below.

Continued use of our website indicates consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of this information as described in this notice.

Visitors to other IU websites should review the privacy notices for the sites they visit, as other units at the university may collect and use visitor information in different ways. University Information Technology Services is not responsible for the content of other websites or for the privacy practices of websites outside the scope of this notice.

Changes

Because Internet technologies continue to evolve rapidly, University Information Technology Services may make appropriate changes to this notice in the future. Any such changes will be consistent with our commitment to respecting visitor privacy, and will be clearly posted in a revised privacy notice.
