If my email, address book and calendar information is stored off campus on Google’s servers, who has access to it?
As with our current system, only you and IIT System Administrators have access to your information. However, both St. Olaf College and Google are US law-abiding entities and should some legal action, initiated by local or federal law agencies, require access to user data stored on Google’s server (e.g. subpoenaed information), the College and Google will act or respond as required by law. This is no different than what we do now. See section 9.3 of St. Olaf’s Computing Policies: http://www.stolaf.
