Compliance Privacy Policy

�ۿ��۱� (�ۿ��۱�) is committed to respecting your privacy as a customer. Our privacy policy is clear: �ۿ��۱� will not sell, exchange or otherwise distribute your personally identifiable information without your consent, except to the extent required by law.

Information Collected Automatically

�ۿ��۱� web servers generate logs that may contain information about computers or devices used to access the university website, or about general activity on the university website, such as the following:

Internet address of computer or device
type of web browser or other client application used
the operating system of the device connecting to the �ۿ��۱� website
web pages requested
referring web pages
time spent on the site

We do not associate IP addresses to individuals. As such, visitor sessions will be tracked, but visitors will remain anonymous. Our use of tracking technologies allows us to analyze trends and statistics to improve our website and your web experience.

Information Provided Voluntarily

�ۿ��۱� does not require you to provide personal information to visit our website; however, you may choose to provide us with personal information through an email message, web form, survey or other electronic means. This information is used only to fulfill the stated purpose of your communication and/or participation. Requests for information will be directed to the appropriate staff to respond to the request, and may be recorded to help us improve our site to better respond to similar requests.

FERPA

�ۿ��۱� also complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which generally prohibits the release of student education records without student permission. However, FERPA does permit the release of public or "directory" information about students.

External Links

The �ۿ��۱� website contains links to pages outside the cuw.edu domain. The university is not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.

Security Statement

�ۿ��۱� utilizes industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption (registered with VeriSign Trust Network to �ۿ��۱�) when accepting your credit card information during online e-commerce checkout and in certain other instances where personal information is requested. SSL encryption is a method by which information transmitted across the Internet is encoded to defeat theft by anyone who should intercept the data before it reaches its destination. Web pages where SSL encryption is activated are typically identified by a lock or key symbol displayed in your web browser.

�ۿ��۱� employees may access non-public personal information in relation to their job functions and the services they provide to you.

Security Precautions You Should Take

Although every effort is made to secure network communications, �ۿ��۱� cannot ensure the privacy of online communications. All users are strongly advised to utilize web browsers with at least 128-bit encryption features for the most secure transmission of personal and financial data to �ۿ��۱�'s secure server. Individuals using online services should also take steps to protect personal information, such as closing the web browser when finished using the site. Failure to do so may result in personal information being viewed by someone else using the same computer.
