ICCS Privacy Policy

1. General
   The Sullivan University System, Inc. (SUS), respects the privacy of every person who visits or is affiliated with SUS. SUS wants you to fully understand what information we gather from you, how that information is collected, how that information is used, and how you can control the collection and/or use of information about you. So please read this Policy carefully.
   
   
2. Information You Provide to SUS
   In addition to information automatically collected by your browser, SUS also collects information that you provide when you register for an online service, order merchandise from us, or request information regarding one of our programs.
   
   Through Registration Sites
   SUS's registration sites, such as our library, and the student and faculty websites, require visitors to provide contact information and/or unique identifiers when they register. Information collected may include a user's name, address, e-mail address, as well as unique identifiers, such as their Social Security number or student ID number. Contact information is used to contact our visitors if necessary. Unique identifiers are used to verify the user's identity before granting visitor access to some of the services available online. Opt-out policy: You can choose NOT to register. While you will be able to access most of our sites, you will not be able to access areas that require registration.
   
   Through Ordering Sites
   Our ordering sites allow customers to request products from SUS and require visitors to provide contact information and financial information such as credit card numbers. Contact information is used to send product orders to the customer, as well as to contact the customer if necessary. Financial information collected is used to bill the user for the products ordered. Opt-out policy: You can choose NOT to disclose your financial information online. Instead, you can call the ordering site at the phone number(s) listed and provide the information needed to complete your order. Please see the security section below.
   
   Through Information Request Sites
   Many of SUS’s sites provide users the opportunity to request information from SUS. These information request sites require users to provide SUS with contact information, as well as information about their interest in SUS. Contact information is used to send information about SUS to the customer requesting that information. Customer interest information is collected to determine what information the customer wishes to be sent. Opt-out policy: You could choose NOT to provide this information online. Instead you can call SUS and request to have information sent to you.
   
   Through Survey Sites
   Many of our sites also allow users to let SUS know how we're doing. Our survey sites, such as feedback on the student and faculty websites and comments to the chair, request customers to provide contact information as well. The contact information that's collected is used to contact the customer, if necessary. Opt-out policy: You can choose NOT to disclose contact information when you submit survey information to us. However, if your comments require follow-up by a member of SUS, we will be unable to do so when contact information is not available.
   
   How We Use This Information
   We use the information we automatically collect to help us better plan our website to meet your needs. Information you provide to us is used for marketing purposes, and may result in follow-up communications.
   
   Your Rights, Our Obligations
   SUS does not sell or rent any personal data submitted by visitors to our site to any third parties.

On occasion, we may use certain directory information that we have collected to send you information about products and services, or updates and other information we think may be of interest to you. Occasionally we may share this information with our educational partners to bring similar information to your attention. If you tell us that you do not wish to have this information used as a basis for further contact with you, we will respect your wishes. Please contact the SUS campus you requested information from to request your name and address be removed from our lists.

3. Cookies
   "Cookies" are electronic files stored on your hard drive. Cookies cannot read data off your hard drive; they store identification information about you. SUS, like the operators of many other Web sites, uses the cookies to identify you when you visit SUS. SUS may also use the cookie to recognize you to help ensure the security of confidential information. SUS uses the information from cookies to personalize services and determine the amount and type of traffic at sullivan.edu. Cookies also provide us with information about your "clickstream"—the way that you navigate through SUS so that we can better design the Web site for your use.
   
   Most browsers allow you to disable or delete your cookies. SUS would prefer to provide you with personalized services through cookies since not all services may be available to those who disable or delete cookies.
   
   
4. Links to Other Web Sites
   SUS may provide links to various other Web sites solely as a convenience to you. If you use these links, you will leave this Site. SUS has not reviewed all of these third-party sites and does not control and is not responsible for any of these sites, their practices or their content. Thus, SUS does not endorse or make any representations about them, or any information, software or other products or materials found there, or any results that may be obtained from using them. If you decide to access any of the third-party websites linked to this Web Site, you do this entirely at your own risk.
   
   
5. Security
   The security of all personally identifiable information associated with our users is of utmost concern to us. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be secure. While we strive to protect your personally identifiable information, SUS can't ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your personally identifiable information, we will take reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our systems.
