Last week, Kuma participated in a workshop hosted by the Center for Democracy & Technology: \u201cShould It Stay or Should It Go? Balancing Retention, Deletion, and Student Privacy<\/em>\u201d. The question refers to whether educational institutions should hang onto student personal information, and, if so, for how long.<\/p>\n Striking a balance <\/strong><\/p>\n According to Jenn Behrens, Kuma Partner and EVP of Privacy, student privacy is an increasingly challenging aspect of educational governance that demands deliberate consideration and management.\u00a0 While evidence shows that minimizing the amount of personal information maintained by organizations decreases the potential risk for privacy breach events, schools need to counterbalance this risk with various programmatic and educational needs to maintain student records for years and even decades.\u00a0\u00a0Behrens recommends schools develop a pragmatic retention schedule and data deletion policy.<\/p>\n There are a series of steps that organizations can do to facilitate this, including:<\/p>\n These steps will support the negotiation of competing business needs and drive stronger privacy program methods throughout the institution.<\/p>\n Using third-parties for data management <\/strong><\/p>\n As schools rely further and further on third-parties and vendors to maintain their information systems and provide data integration and analysis services, educational organizations dive increasingly into a web of third-party management.\u00a0Having a sound privacy practice in place that integrates policy and expectations for vendor and third-party risk management, data inventories, asset inventories, and developing\/enriching retention schedule and data disposal policies, is an important part of the process.<\/p>\n How Kuma Helps<\/strong><\/p>\n Kuma helps all types of organizations establish and mature security and privacy programs unique to their business climate and needs.
