Data security reminder: Don't leave your personal information unattended


We want to remind our students to be vigilant when handling their personal information on campus.

There have been reports of students printing off personal documents, such as visa information, and then leaving them on the printer or unattended. This could lead to someone collecting your documents by mistake which could have serious consequences.

We are advising our students to:

  • When printing off personal documents, make sure to collect them straight away.
  • Lock your computer when you are leaving your desk.
  • Password protect documents which include sensitive information.

If you are concerned that someone may have taken your personal data, contact DMU Security on 0116 2577642 or by email onsecurity@dmu.ac.uk​
