Other than the individual on whom the record is maintained, access to development database records is limited to authorized University employees and representatives for the purpose of University business only . Information stored on the development database, particularly gift and pledge data, solicitation history and text comments, shall be treated in a confidential manner. Reports generated from the database shall be treated as confidential documents. Records which include anonymous gift codes, and reports which include that information, shall be considered particularly sensitive and generally should not be shared with individuals outside Development Operations, including development volunteers. This applies to the main database, to reports produced from the database and to information displayed on the TigerNet web site.
Alerts are requests by individuals to supersede the general definition of public information.
Unedited research reports shall be released only to authorized university employees. The employee to whom the report is released is responsible for maintaining information in a confidential manner. Volunteers may be provided with information derived from files, including edited research reports, only when released through designated university employees. This information should be destroyed or returned to the Development Office immediately after use. Material should not be forwarded to other alumni or volunteers without Development Office permission.
