System for Animal Facility Electronic Tracking of Quarantine (SAFE TraQ)

1. Introduction

The System for Animal Facility Electronic Tracking of Quarantine (SAFE TraQ)

is a secure electronic system to record the animal importation activities carried out by the CDC-registered Animal Care Facility (ACF) on behalf of the CDC. The information contained on this electronic system includes personally identifiable information and other sensitive information that requires protection from unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification.

Persons authorized by CDC to have access to SAFE TraQ must comply with the user rules governing the use of this system, the CDC Non-Disclosure Agreement Policy, and all other applicable rules, regulations, and policies. Failure to comply with these rules, regulations, or policies may result in termination of user access and other sanctions, including revocation of a facility’s registration to operate as an ACF.

2. User Rules

• The CDC-registered Animal Care Facility (ACF) should only request access to SAFE TraQ for ACF employees or ACF veterinarians whose official duties include examination or treatment of imported animals, or management of their records. CDC reserves the right to limit the number of users and deny access to any unrelated person whose access is not for the purpose of official duties as described above.

• SAFE TraQ may not be used for any unauthorized purpose. SAFE TraQ may be accessed and used for official government purposes only.

• Users must not attempt to access any data or programs on SAFE TraQ for which they do not have authorization from CDC. ACF personnel will only be able to access and modify reports for their ACF.

• Users must not engage in, encourage, or conceal any “hacking” or “cracking,” unauthorized tampering, or unauthorized attempted use of (or deliberate disruption of) any SAFE TraQ web application or database.

• Users may not share any information obtained through SAFE TraQ with unauthorized persons.

• SAFE TraQ data must not be downloaded to any server, hard drive, or portable device unless authorized for an approved project/research as described below.

• Research or other projects using SAFE TraQ data must conform to requirements outlined in the Standard Operating Procedures for SAFE TraQ data use and all CDC policies and procedures for research/non-research, IACUC, and human subjects determinations.

• Users may not knowingly engage in any activity that:

  • Degrades the performance of the system.

  • Deprives an authorized user access to a resource.

  • Obtains or attempts to obtain extra resources beyond those allocated.

  • Circumvents security measures in order to gain access to any automated system for which proper authorization has not been granted.

Security:
