University Privacy Incident Response Program
The Office of Institutional Integrity (OII) heads East Carolina University’s (ECU) Privacy Incident Response Program. The primary purpose of the program is to investigate potential privacy incidents to determine if there has been an unauthorized acquisition, access, use, or disclosure of protected data. Additionally, OII will work with relevant university leadership to ensure any regulatory reporting requirements under applicable laws, regulations, or contracts are met.
Any known or suspected privacy event must immediately be reported to the ECU ITCS Helpdesk via phone 252-328-9866. This is the first step in mitigating any active privacy event and to initiate the University’s response to a reported privacy event. Individuals can also contact the Office of Institutional Integrity either via phone 252-744-5200 or email ECUPrivacy@ecu.edu after contacting the Helpdesk.
