Report a Data Incident

As outlined in the university's Privacy of Personal Information Policy, all members of GW community, with access to GW systems and information, are responsible for reporting any suspected or actual data incidents.

Use the form below to report a suspected or actual data incident involving University non-public information, whether the information potentially exposed is on a computer, in our storage systems, in paper format, on the web, etc. We will investigate your report, and work with the appropriate University Departments to remediate the issue.

Note: if you are looking to report a data incident related to personal data maintained by either the GW Hospital or the GW Medical Faculty Associates (MFA), they are separate entities from the university, and have their own reporting channels. To report a privacy concern involving either the GW Hospital or the GW MFA, please see details below:

• GW Hospital: A list of patient rights and responsibilities, points of contact, and how to report concerns involving GW Hospital can be found on the Patient Rights and Responsibilities webpage.
• GW Medical Faculty Associates: The MFA's Privacy Team manages privacy concerns and inquiries related to the MFA.
