Understanding U.S. Data Privacy Rights
In the realm of U.S. data privacy laws, individuals are granted certain rights regarding their personal information. These rights include the ability to request additional information concerning the collection and disclosure of personal data, commonly known as the Right to Know or Right to Access. Moreover, individuals have the right to correct their personal information, restrict the collection of sensitive personal data, opt-out of sales or targeted advertising, and even request the deletion of personal information collected, with some exceptions. To delve deeper into these rights, individuals can refer to the U.S. State Privacy Notice available at the Anthology Trust Center.
Exercising Your Rights with Blackboard Learn
If you are a user of an Anthology product like Blackboard Learn, Anthology Reach, or Anthology Encompass facilitated through your educational institution, the process for asserting your data privacy rights differs. In such cases, individuals are required to contact their institution to initiate these requests as Anthology, serving as a service provider on behalf of institutional clients, cannot directly respond to individual requests in these circumstances. However, for individuals engaging with Anthology directly through activities like marketing, events, webinars, community sites, or specific services such as the Digital Teaching and Learning Series, a request form is available to submit data privacy inquiries related to Anthology's activities.
Making Data Privacy Requests
To submit a request related to Anthology's independent activities, individuals must meet certain criteria. Firstly, the requestor should be a U.S. resident. Secondly, the request must pertain to personal data privacy concerns. Lastly, the request should specifically concern Anthology's own activities rather than those managed through educational institutions. The submitted information will be utilized to locate the individual's data in Anthology's systems, verify the request, and provide a response accordingly. The available types of requests include access to personal data, correction of information, limiting the collection of sensitive data, opting-out of sales or targeted marketing, requesting data deletion, or other customized requests.
