Williams College strives to ensure information privacy for its computer users. Occasionally legitimate reasons arise that require access to information held on college systems. These exceptions may be required based on legal action (such as a court order), may involve the health and/or safety of an individual or group, or be prompted by urgent college business needs.
Should an exceptional situation arise and the individual user is unavailable or unable to provide permission, and if circumstances merit, access may be provided only with the approval of an authorized college official.
