Not every recommendation or best practice is necessarily formalized in a policy. While formal privacy protections certainly exist (FERPA, HIPAA, Policy on Privacy of Information & IT Resources, etc), other privacy-related protections and practices are simply a good idea.

Below we will compile such examples of privacy-related resources and guides:

• Use of Social Networks, Blogs, Wikis, and Other Third-Party Hosted Tools in Instruction

Web Privacy

Occasionally we may post here links to tools available to manage your privacy when browsing the web. These tools have not been evaluated for use by IU; before using any of them, please be sure to read their privacy notices and search for reviews of them to ensure the tool is safe and operates as claimed.

• UnlistMy.Info

Identifies top online sites that store data about you and provides resources to make them unlist it.

• Ghostery

Detects what sites are tracking you and allows you to selectively block such sites.

• Collusion

This Firefox add-on visualizes data being shared across websites as you surf the web.

• Do Not Track

Do Not Track is a step toward putting you in control of the way your information is collected and used online.
