But that was a simplistic view of data privacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Motheram, a former <a href=\"https:\/\/its.umich.edu\/internship\/home\">ITS intern<\/a>, joined fellow former interns Tianyu Jiang and Julia Silverman, along with Taylor Murray and Ceciel Zhong of Tech for Social Good, for the webinar, which was part of the Privacy@Michigan event series recognizing Data Privacy Day. Svetla Sytch, assistant director of privacy and IT policy in ITS Information Assurance, facilitated the discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The panelists shared their perspectives on privacy and introduced the new student guide to personal data\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/safecomputing.umich.edu\/viziblue\">ViziBLUE<\/a>. At ViziBLUE, U-M students can find out what personal information the university collects and how it is used and shared. Silverman walked participants through a typical day in the life of a U-M student, pointing out what data is collected during routine activities like getting a library book or connecting to WiFi. Information about that data collection and use is in ViziBLUE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jiang, who designed and conducted student interviews as part of her work on ViziBLUE through the ITS internship program, explained that &#8220;U-M wants to improve transparency about students\u2019 data with ViziBLUE.&#8221; Based on the interview results, the project team refined the amount of information and its layout on the ViziBLUE dashboard to better meet student needs and interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Added Sytch: &#8220;U-M is committed to the responsible and ethical handling of your information. When it comes to privacy, ask questions and take action.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zhong said, &#8220;Our student group Tech for Social Good is committed to creating space for folks who want to advocate for social justice causes through the lens of working in technology.&#8221; The panelists said they see privacy as very much a social justice issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Said Murray, &#8220;Marginalized people especially are at risk of increased harm when their privacy is taken advantage of.&#8221; She added: &#8220;I want to inspire more people to talk more about privacy with other people. I want a culture where we are more open to talking about our privacy concerns.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The panelists said that their understanding of privacy has changed as they have learned more. &#8220;Now data privacy is something that&#8217;s never an afterthought for me,&#8221; said Motheram, &#8220;and to me it means power to the people in a very specific sense.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1LpLTDhGGOLWhXSmp9suTgByq46gYjxuz\/view?usp=sharing\">Slides from the webinar<\/a> are available.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Student panelists shared their perspectives on privacy and introduced the new student guide to personal data\u2014ViziBLUE\u2014at the February 2 &#8220;Student Data, Privacy, and ViziBLUE webinar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":23393,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_umich_oidc_access":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[27,4],"tags":[121,929,96],"class_list":["post-22950","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-safe-computing","category-features","tag-privacy","tag-sensitive-data","tag-students"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ViziBLUE-thumbnail.png",504,336,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ViziBLUE-thumbnail-400x266.png",400,266,true],"medium":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ViziBLUE-thumbnail-300x200.png",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ViziBLUE-thumbnail.png",504,336,false],"large":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ViziBLUE-thumbnail.png",504,336,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ViziBLUE-thumbnail.png",504,336,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ViziBLUE-thumbnail.png",504,336,false],"excerpt-thumbnail":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ViziBLUE-thumbnail-200x140.png",200,140,true],"themonic-thumbnail":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ViziBLUE-thumbnail-60x42.png",60,42,true],"ioslider-thumbnail":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ViziBLUE-thumbnail-504x300.png",504,300,true],"post-thumbnail":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ViziBLUE-thumbnail.png",504,336,false],"400x250-crop":["https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/ViziBLUE-thumbnail-400x266.png",376,250,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Julia Silverman, ITS Information Assurance","author_link":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/author\/silvj\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Student panelists shared their perspectives on privacy and introduced the new student guide to personal data\u2014ViziBLUE\u2014at the February 2 \"Student Data, Privacy, and ViziBLUE webinar.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/145"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22950"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22950\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22963,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22950\/revisions\/22963"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigan.it.umich.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
