ARCC users must immediately notify arcc-help@uwyo.edu upon the awareness that any of the accounts used to access ARCC resources have been compromised.
ARCC users should promptly inform UW of any changes in their contact information.
Upon actual or suspected loss, disclosure, or compromise of the two-factor authentication physical or virtual token and associated password, account holders must immediately notify the University Security Office (IT_Security_Office@uwyo.edu). The two-factor authentication token may not be transferred to another person.

Data backups:
Although ARCC takes steps to ensure the integrity of stored data, ARCC does not guarantee that data files are protected against destruction. ARCC users should read the information on data retention, backups, and data deletion in any applicable policies for the ARCC resources they use, and make backups of necessary data and software in an archive system or at other sites.
In some cases, ARCC may elect to make backup copies of some data files. When backup copies are made, ARCC reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to hold such backup copies indefinitely or to delete them.
