Your UT Health Sciences email account is intended for university business and should not be used to sign up for personal shopping sites, subscriptions, social media, or other non-work services. Using your work email for personal accounts increases the risk that your university address could be exposed in a third-party data breach, making it a target for phishing or unauthorized access attempts. Instead, use a personal email account for shopping, subscriptions, and online services. You can even have more than one personal email account to separate correspondence with friends and family from online shopping and subscriptions. Reserve your UTHSC email for official university activities. This helps protect both your personal identity and university systems.
