  2. Understand the sensitivity of any data you bring or accessSeek ways to limit the amount of sensitive information that you take on your trip.  Examples of data that should be left on campus or afforded exceptional protection include information that might be considered sensitive by the host government, and information defined as "Private or Restricted" by the Fredonia Data Risk Classification Policy.  Removing unnecessary confidential data from any device reduces the risk of exposure to anyone gaining access to the information.

  3. Follow guidelines for protecting your devices and dataReview and follow the best practices listed on our Online Safety Page.  Understanding and following these practices will help you reduce the risk to the data and devices you are carrying or have access to in your travels. 

  4. Learn about hardware and software travel restrictionsKnowing the restrictions that countries place on transported hardware and/or software reduces the likelihood of your devices being confiscated or your trip being disrupted.  In the hardware and software realm, export and import controls may apply to the hardware and software you may bring along. The United States restricts the transporting of certain types of hardware and software products to specific countries (referred to as "export controls").  Many other nations restrict the transporting of certain types of hardware or software into their country (referred to as "import controls").
