Privacy
- This document applies to faculty, staff, students, and other
personnel associated with the University of Florida. The University of Florida Internet Privacy Policy applies to our
Internet visitors.
CLASnet uses a policy of "informed consent" when using
your information. You should understand how CLASnet
uses the information you provide, and your right to
approve the use of that information.
While using CLASnet, you may be required to provide
various information (name, email address, departmental
affiliation, and other contact information). This
information will only be available to CLASnet (a
division of the UF CLAS Dean's Office) for daily
administrative duties and to communicate with you. The
information will not be redistributed to other agencies
without notification.
-
Network traffic
- CLASnet does not monitor the contents of traffic
crossing the network. However, CLASnet may monitor the
volume and type of traffic, in order to provide better
service to our departments.
CLASnet reserves the right to remove any machine or user
from the CLAS network if we suspect the user/machine
negatively affects the security or available network bandwidth
of our other machines and/or users.
-
Electronic Mail
- CLASnet does not monitor on a regular basis the contents of
incoming or outgoing electronic messages. CLASnet may monitor
the volume and type of messages in order to provide better
service to our departments. We normally do not examine the
contents of any messages stored on the CLASnet servers.
However, we may monitor the size of the messages stored,
in order to prevent system DoS (Denial of Service)
attack and/or recognize a mis-configured client computer.
If a user contacts CLASnet noting a problem with email,
we may examine the message headers in order to trace
the problem. We will not examine the messages' contents unless
explicitly requested by the user or a competent authority.
-
Disk Storage
- CLASnet normally does not monitor the contents of user files
stored on the CLASnet servers. CLASnet may monitor the
volume and type of files in order to provide better
service to our departments, particularly if a department
suffers from a dearth of storage space.
In the event of a system intrusion (aka "break-in"), we
may be required to examine files that meet the
attacker's modus operandi. This includes
suspiciously-named files, files created immediately following
the intrusion, etc.
CLASnet disk storage may be examined for content upon
instruction by a competent administrative authority. Such
examination will occur only on suspicion of materials forbidden
by the CLAS and/or UF AUP.
-
File Archival
- CLASnet systems will archive files stored on the CLASnet
disk(s) as part of our normal operations. These archives are
stored off-site, and are available only to CLASnet staff.
-
Termination of account
- In the event that you close your account(s) with
CLASnet, all of your personal information and files will
be removed from the system. All files stored on the
SHARE volume(s) of the server(s) will remain, and their
ownership will be transferred to the department contact.
If requested by the departmental contact, CLASnet may
transfer explicitly non-personal files from your
HOME volume to the SHARE volume(s), assuming you do not
object. If you object, it is your responsibility to contact us before the
termination of your account.
-
Legal Uses
- You agree to use information contained on the
CLASnet site only for legal purposes.
-
Links to other sites
- Parts of CLASnet (web.clas.ufl.edu) may link to
other web sites, or to CLASnet personal web sites
(web.clas.ufl.edu/users/). CLASnet does not have
any involvement or liability for the contents of
such sites, and does not necessarily endorse their
contents.
-
Modification of terms
- The University of Florida and/or the College of Liberal Arts
& Sciences may change the terms of this agreement at its
discretion. Major changes to this agreement will be announced
to the departmental computer contacts and posted on the CLASnet
web site. It is your responsibility to keep informed of any
changes to this agreement.
