Compliance
Adobe Cloud Storage services (Creative Cloud, Lightroom, Document Cloud, and Adobe Spark) may be used with FERPA data as Adobe has publicly acknowledged that they are acting as a "school official" for FERPA purposes. Refer to Adobe & Student Privacy for more information.
The Adobe Cloud Service may not be used to store or maintain any other types of sensitive university data.
The Adobe Creative Cloud applications may be used with sensitive data only when those applications are installed locally (that is, not used in the cloud) and the files are stored in approved locations
