 +:!:**Note:** Student data must be handled very carefully. It is officially a //crime// (//i.e.// threat of fines, jail time, getting fired) in Texas to distribute, misuse, "permit inspection of", or disclose any records, files, documents, or other materials which contain information directly related to a student.  If you want details, see [[http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/GetStatute.aspx?Code=GV&Value=552.114|Tex.

 +===== E-mail Services =====
 +
 +UT has approved these e-mail services for student data (FERPA):
 +  * [[https://office365.austin.utexas.edu|Office 365]]
 +  * [[https://utmail.utexas.edu|UTmail]]
 +  * UT-hosted Exchange Server
 +  * Presumably, the UTCS department mail service
 +
 +
 +===== Cloud Storage/File Sharing Services =====
 +
 +UT has approved these cloud storage services for student data (FERPA):
 +  - [[https://utexas.box.com|UTBox]] -- Strongly preferred.  Also approved for HIPAA and PCI data.
 +  - [[https://utmail.utexas.edu|Google Drive for Education]] -- Part of UTmail
 +  - Microsoft OneDrive -- Part of Office 365 (I think)
 +
 +Notably, DropBox and iCloud are **not** approved for controlled or confidential data.
 +
 +
 +===== Privacy Notice =====
 +
 +If you create a paper form or electronic form, put a Texas privacy notice on it.  This is something like:
 +
 +> Under Texas Government Code chapters 552 and 559, you are entitled to be informed about the information that UT Austin collects about you. You also have the right to request a copy of that information, and to have the university correct any of that information that is wrong. You may request to receive and review any of that information, or request corrections to it, by contacting the university's Public Information Officer, Office of Financial Affairs, P.O. Box 8179, Austin, Texas, 78713.
