Data Ownership and Access

RCAC is required to uphold all Purdue University policies on intellectual property, including Purdue University Policy VIII.4.1.

Users of RCAC systems authorized by a Principal Investigator (PI) agree to allow access by their PI to all data and files remaining on RCAC systems after their account is deactivated.

RCAC respects the privacy of our users. Generally, RCAC systems administrators will only look at a user's files if this is deemed absolutely essential to diagnosing a problem. In addition, should this be necessary, RCAC staff will first make an effort to contact the user, explain what is needed, and provide an opportunity for the user to remove any sensitive data. However, RCAC does reserve the right to access or disclose any file or data should this be deemed necessary to serve the interests of Purdue University, in accordance with Purdue University Policy V.1.3.
