Wiscard photos are sensitive data per UW-504 Data Classification. Some services across campus rely on photos as one component of verifying an individual's identity. This policy establishes data management and data governance principles for the release and use of Wiscard photos.
Applies to all of UW–Madison.
Access to Wiscard photos is limited to applications that are serving a business need for campus and rely on photo verification of individual identity.
Wiscard photos fall under the Core Person Data Domain of the UW-Madison Data Governance Program overseen by the Data Governance Council.
The Core Person Data Operational Governance Group is designated as the responsible institutional data steward for Wiscard photos by the Data Governance Council. Stewards carry out all data stewardship responsibilities, including provisioning access and authorization.
Exceptions may be granted by the Core Person Operational Governance Group or designee.
