The Privacy Office is part of the Office of Policy, Compliance, and Risk Management within the Administration & Operations division of the Colorado School of Mines. We believe privacy compliance is everyone’s responsibility, we strive to be a valued partner and advisor to students, faculty, management, and members of the executive leadership.
