Laptop Seized While Traveling

Yale faculty, student or staff member brings a laptop on an international trip.  The laptop contains personal identifying information (e.g., research data or personnel records).  Local customs officials seize the laptop.  Issues to consider:

  • Before you travel, consider carefully what devices and data you bring.
  • Compliance with reporting requirements related to lost or stolen data and devices.
