PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy provides you with important information about our privacy practices. This Policy is your guide to how we will handle the information we learn or collect about you from your visit to our website. We are not responsible for the practices of persons, companies, or websites that we do not manage or control. By using our website, you are deemed to have consented to the practices described in this Policy. If you believe we have gathered your information in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy, contact us at [email protected].

PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may collect personally identifying information from visitors to the website who choose to provide such information to us, such as through email, online forms, or surveys. We define “personally identifying information” as data that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you. Such information may include your first and last name, email, phone number, or a home or other physical address, including street name and the name of a city or town. Providing such information is strictly voluntary. We also may collect information concerning your computer or other devices used to access the website, such as your IP address and other unique device identifiers, browser, operating system, and device settings.

COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES
We and third parties that provide content or functionality on our website may use cookies and other tracking technologies to facilitate administration and navigation on the website, better understand how visitors use the website, and improve the website. A cookie is a small file sent to a user’s computer that can be used to track a visitor across one or more browsing sessions and one or more sites. You should consult your web browser settings for information about choices that may be available to you to refuse or delete cookies.

Through cookies and similar technologies, we collect information about how visitors use the website, including, for example, monitoring usage of the website, identifying pages with high and low readership and time spent on pages, and improving navigation throughout the website. The third parties we used to analyze the usage of the website include Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. For more information about the data Google collects, how it uses that data, and the choices available to you, please visit https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

We use the “visitor action pixels” from Facebook, Inc. on our website. This allows user behavior to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, i.e., we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook. Facebook may link this information to your Facebook account and also use it for its own promotional purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Usage Policy https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can allow Facebook and its partners to place ads on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes.

“DO NOT TRACK” SIGNALS
We do not track our visitors over time and across third-party websites for purposes of providing target advertising and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) headers. Some third-party websites, however, keep track of your browsing activities when they serve you content, which enables them to tailor what they present to you.

USE OF YOUR INFORMATION
The information shared with us online is used to provide you with services and other materials that you request and for school-related mailings, publications, and activities. We also may use your information to manage and improve our services and other offerings, protect the security and integrity of our website and other offerings, and enforce our and others’ legal rights.

SECURITY
We take steps to help protect against loss or theft of personally identifying information. For example, our websites have security certificates. However, please note that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose or transmit to us online and cannot be responsible for the theft, destruction, or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information.

LINKS
Throughout our web pages, we provide links to other sites which may contain information of interest to our readers. Please be aware that we are not responsible for and exercise no control over, the content or privacy policies of external organizations. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to review the privacy policies of external sites that collect personally identifiable information.
