How do I ensure the security of my data when using a shared or public computer (e.g., kiosk)?
When using Google Apps at UMass Amherst on a shared or public computer, click Sign out (top right) when you are finished using your account. Just closing the Web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) will not end your session. If you don’t sign out, the next user will have full access to your Google Apps account. We also recommend that you sign out of Google Mail on a regular basis by going to Google Mail > Details > Sign out all other sessions.
