4. "Did you know?" Useful BearBuy Tip Reminder:
Q: What data is considered private information and requires strict access control?
A: UC Berkeley policy requires strict access control over personally identified information (PII) that contains an individual's name or initials combined with a social security number, credit card number, driver's license or state identification card number, any type of medical or medical insurance information, or any personal financial account number.
Before uploading any document or adding any comments in BearBuy please redact any sensitive and PII information so it is unreadable. A BFS Supplier Number (ex: employee or student ID#) is not considered private information and does not need to be redacted.
The following are considered personally identified information:
- Anything that contains an individual's name or initials combined with:
- Social security number
- Driver's license number and state identification card number
- Credit or debit card numbers
- Any type of personal medical or medical insurance information
- Personal financial account information or numbers
- Full Birthdates MM/DD/YYYY
- Similarly, an individual's home address and family information also requires restricted access control
