Privacy & Security Information
The Student Health Care Center (SHCC) is dedicated to preventing unauthorized information access, maintaining information accuracy, and ensuring the appropriate use of information. We strive to put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial safeguards to secure the information we collect in all formats: on paper, electronically, and verbally. These security practices are consistent with the policies of the university and with the laws and regulatory practices of the state of Florida and multiple federal agencies.
Along with health information and other identifying information, we are also authorized by law to use social security numbers. It is a business imperative for the performance of our legal duties and responsibilities as well. If you have questions about the collection and use of social security numbers, please visit http://privacy.ufl.edu/SSNPrivacy.html
