Website Covered by this Privacy Policy
The PeopleLocator Website is operated by UC Berkeley. This online Privacy Policy applies only to the PeopleLocator Website.The PeopleLocator Website may provide links to third-party websites for your convenience and information. If you access those links, you will leave the PeopleLocator Website. UC Berkeley does not control those sites or their privacy practices, which may differ from those of UC Berkeley. UC Berkeley does not endorse or make any representations about third-party websites. The personal data you choose to give to unrelated third parties is not covered by the PeopleLocator Website Privacy Policy. UC Berkeley strongly encourages you to review the privacy policy and statements of any company before submitting your personal information.
How Your Information Is Used
The People Locator collects the information described above so that the general public may access ""Report your status"", ""Leave a message for (or about) a person"" or ""Submit a report about a person"" feature to determine only the welfare of the person. Therefore, it is important to understand that this is a public website, and that the name and welfare information entered into the ""Report your status"" section will be made available to users of the Internet worldwide. If this is not fully acceptable, information should not be entered into this website. In addition, information entered elsewhere in the PeopleLocator Website will not be made available to the general public, but may be used by UC Berkeley in connection with providing disaster relief services, e.g., in family reunification efforts. By entering any information into the website, it is understood that the person has read and understands the Privacy Statement, and agrees to this online Privacy Policy.
With Whom Is Your Information Shared
UC Berkeley will not sell, rent, or lease your confidential (non-directory) information to others. UC Berkeley will not share your confidential information with third parties with the exception that it is highly likely that UC Berkeley will disclose confidential information entered in the ""Report your status"", ""Leave a message for (or about) a person"" or ""Submit a report about a person"" sections with other organizations engaged in providing or supporting disaster relief operations and services. If this is not acceptable, information should not be entered into this website. However, UC Berkeley will not use any of the information for any commercial purpose. UC Berkeley will not share personal information with any other third parties without your permission, unless required by law enforcement action, subpoena, or local law.
Limitations on Accuracy and Liability
Since all information will be entered on the website by a person affected by a disaster, and not by UC Berkeley, UC Berkeley will be unable to verify the accuracy of the information, and therefore makes no representation of any kind as to its accuracy, and cannot accept any responsibility should the information entered on the website be inaccurate. In addition, UC Berkeley and any organizations associated with UC Berkeley and this website cannot accept any responsibility for any adverse consequences arising from the use of this website.
Types of Information Collected by the Website
One reason the PeopleLocator Website has been established is to provide a method for students and staff affected by a disaster to enter personal information regarding their general welfare in the ""Report your status"", ""Leave a message for (or about) a person"" or ""Submit a report about a person"" sections of the website. The information collected on this website includes the person's first and last name, status of the person's welfare, and certain optional information, including current location, email address and telephone number. The information entered in the PeopleLocator Website will be maintained for one year.
Keep Your Information Secure
UC Berkeley is committed to protecting the information you provide to the website. To prevent unauthorized access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the appropriate use of the information, UC Berkeley has in place appropriate physical and managerial procedures to safeguard the information collected.
