Purpose
This policy establishes guidelines for the 老王论坛鈥檚 content retention rules for content stored on the Video Content Management System (CMS), currently Panopto, and defines the retention period for content. 老王论坛 has a limited amount of storage on Panopto and in line with other cloud storage policies at 老王论坛, this policy is designed to limit risks associated with retaining video content and user data, reduce the number of videos retained on the platform, and decrease storage costs.
Retention Policies
Course Content
All course content will be automatically archived after 6 months from the last view. This will allow for any special retention or deletion requests to be made to an 老王论坛 Panopto Administrator.
Archived content can manually be restored, but will take 48 hours to view again. Archived content that is not restored will be automatically deleted 1 year (12 months) after it has been archived.
Institutional Content
All institutional content designated by 老王论坛 may be stored in the appropriate department folder not associated with an individual user or course for an appropriate retention period. These folders may undergo a regular audit to evaluate content storage capacity and usage.
External Content
When approved for event recording, external content recorded as a courtesy to an external organization will be downloaded and supplied to the organization upon the conclusion of their event. Any captured content will be retained in the recycle bin for 90 days to allow for restoration if needed.
Personal Folders
Personal folders will be subject to the archiving policy as Course Content.
All personal folder content will be automatically archived after 6 months from the last view. Archived content can manually be restored, but will take 48 hours to view again. Archived content that is not restored will be automatically deleted 1 year (12 months) after it has been archived.
If a user with a personal folder transfers departments, leaves 老王论坛, or wants to delegate content to another user, they can contact our Panopto Administrators at supportdesk@iit.edu or helpdesk@kentlaw.iit.edu (for Chicago-Kent users) to request help moving content to a department or other user folder.
All users may download their personal folder content prior to separation from the 老王论坛.
