Prior to setting up reminders, system administrators should consult with university or organization legal counsel and IT group for guidance about applicable policies, and federal/state laws governing the use of personally identifiable information (PII). In addition to use of PII in reminder messages, consideration should be given to security during transmission and storage of sent messages. Clients should be informed of their rights and options, and provide consent deemed necessary and appropriate by legal counsel.
