Cybersecurity Spotlight: Data Protection and Privacy in Google Drive

Verify but Trust – Protect Data and Privacy in Google Drive
This week, we’re droppin’ the beat and focusing on Data Protection & Privacy. Before you hit “Share” in Google Drive, make sure you’re sharing smart. Just like in rap — every word matters, and once it’s out, you can’t take it back. 🎶

🎧 Rappin’ Rules for Keepin’ Data Tight
When you’re about to share a doc, slide, or sheet, remember the golden phrase:

“Verify but trust.” 🎤

  • Who really needs this file? Verify it.
  • Do they need editing rights or just view-only? Verify it.
  • Is “Anyone with the link” turned on? 🚫 Stop the beat — verify it.
  • Are you sharing outside the District? Double-check — verify it.

If you can’t verify it, don’t trust it.
🔒 How to Lock Down Your Flow

  • Check your audience: Use the Share button to see who’s in the crowd.
  • Pick the right role: Viewer, Commenter, or Editor — not everyone deserves the mic.
  • Stick with District accounts: Keep collabs inside the Jordan School District whenever possible.
  • End the session: Remove access when the show’s over — old invites shouldn’t linger backstage.

Your files are like your verses — once they leak, you can’t take ‘em back. So before you drop that link, pause and say it with us:

🎶 Verify but trust, verify but trust. 🎶

Protect privacy, respect the data, and keep our District info safe.
