Research on the Privacy Policy of University and Its Enlightenment:Take the Top 100 Universities in QS World University Rankings in2019 as an Example

Abstract

Abstract: As an important venue for educational activities, colleges and universities collect, use, and
disclose personal information from every aspect of their daily teaching and management. Some universities
have introduced policies to protect personal information for the privacy rights of schools and related
stakeholders. At present, universities in mainland China do not pay much attention to the protection
of personal information. In this paper, the top 100 colleges of QS World University Rankings released
in 2019 are studied for the details regarding their personal information protection policies. This study
helps to enhance the understanding of the personal information protection policies of universities, and
also provides practical advice and useful inspiration for the formulation of such policies in Chinese
universities

Key words: University, Privacy policy, Personal information protection, Enlightenment
