We value the privacy of the community and its guests and strive to protect individual privacy by:

​

Definitions

In this notice, “personal data” is defined as any recorded information that is about you and from which you can be identified. It does not include data where your identity has been removed—anonymous data. Personal data “processing” refers to anything that we do with that information—including collection, use, storage, disclosure, deletion or retention.

 

Types of Personal Data We Collect

We collect personal data from you directly through automated processes (e.g., our websites) and from third party entities. We generally collect and use the following categories of data for different groups of people at an institutional level:

  • Website visitors: to understand and save their preferences for future visits and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences, we collect contact information, IP address, browser type, internet service provider, pages visited, operating system, date and time of visit, location information, and other information collected through cookies.

We occasionally process other types of personal information for various legitimate and specific purposes. When these situations occur, we endeavor to inform the data subjects of such occasional processing activities.

 

How We Use Your Personal Data

We use the personal data we collect to facilitate the operations of this website. We only use the personal data for the purposes for which it was collected, unless we reasonably consider that it is needed for another related reason and that the reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your data for an unrelated purpose, we will seek your consent.

 

Sharing Your Data with Third Parties

We may share your data with third parties who contract with the college to help administer our operations. All of our third-party service providers are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your data in line with our policies. We do not allow them to use your data for their own purposes. We permit them to process your data only for specified purposes in accordance with our instructions.

 

We may also share your personal data with third parties to comply with any legal obligation, administer a contract you have with the college, and/or assist college-affiliated programs regarding contacting you about goods/products or experiences that may be of personal interest.

 

Other circumstances where we may need to share your personal data with third parties include where we have your consent to do so or when it is necessary to protect the health and safety of you or others.  Where your data is shared with third parties, we will seek to share only the necessary pertinent information.
