Our company collects and processes large amounts of data from thousands of customers. It is of utmost importance that we keep this data confidential and safely manage personal information.

We would like to collaborate with students to audit our current privacy policy. This policy builds trust with users and protects our company by transparently disclosing how we gather information.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

• Familiarizing themselves with our mission and vision statements.
• Completing a needs assessment.
• Familiarizing themselves with company activities that involve the use of personal information.
• Analyzing information management practices within the company.
• Recommending changes or improvements to the existing privacy policy.

By the end of the project, students should demonstrate:

• Understanding of company values
• Understanding of company activities involving information management
• Recommendations for changes to the privacy policy

Final deliverables should include

• A final report.
• A 10-minute presentation.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

• Our mission and vision statements
• Our current privacy policy
• Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.

We can provide students with:

• A walkthrough / tutorial of our current privacy policy
• Examples of needs assessments and privacy policies
