Some of you may have come across information in the media about changes that may have been made to Google's privacy policies in relation to mail content in Google Apps for Education since HSU contracted with Google to provide these applications back in 2010.

We are keeping a close eye on the cases currently making their way through the courts around these issues and will communicate any additional relevant information to campus as and when it becomes available.

In the meantime, you can read about current Google privacy issues as they apply to HSU users at Google Caveats page; Google's own privacy site provides additional information on the company's broader privacy policies.
