Volunteer Confidentiality Agreement

Drew Volunteer Confidentiality Agreement

As a volunteer for Drew University, I agree that I will not disclose any confidential information I obtain about the University during the course of performing my duties. Confidential Information includes information that may be protected from disclosure by federal or state law such as education records protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA). Confidential Information also includes information concerning the University’s students or donors. The provisions contained in this agreement are considered conditions of my participation in programs offered by the University.

[Instructions to Volunteers: Please initial these provisions where indicated, signifying your understanding and agreement to abide by each.]

I understand that unauthorized disclosure of such Confidential Information can adversely impact the University, individual persons, or affiliated organizations. This confidentiality agreement serves to verify that I have been made aware of the strict prohibition against inappropriate use of Confidential Information.

I understand that Drew University requires me to hold in confidence any information I may become privy to in the course of my volunteer activities. Because this information is solely available to me as a result of my volunteer activities, I will not discuss, use, forward, print, copy, photograph, record, remove, alter, or otherwise disseminate any Confidential Information that is given, shown, or available to me, or which otherwise comes to my attention, for purposes outside the legitimate scope of my volunteer work.

I agree to not access Confidential Information unless I am authorized to do so, and I agree to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of Confidential Information during and after my volunteer work with the University. I shall not, directly or indirectly, communicate orally, in writing, or by email, social media, or through any other means, any Confidential Information to any unauthorized person.

I will take all necessary steps to ensure the safety, confidentiality, proper disposal and security of all academic, financial, personnel, student educational, and other University records, including but not limited to, proper measures to prevent anyone from gaining knowledge of my password or from gaining access to hard copies or electronic versions of University records; and report any suspected or confirmed breaches immediately to the Advancement Services office at [email protected].
