- 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.
- Personally Identifiable Information
There are cases
in which SUS may ask you for personally identifiable information, such
as your name, mailing address, and e-mail address. For example, we
request personally identifiable information for online shopping or
transactions or for other services that require registration or
subscription. We may also collect information from e-mail, letters,
postings or other correspondence that you send us. SUS will not collect
any personally identifiable information about you unless you provide it
to us voluntarily, with the exception of your computer's IP address. The
IP address is an identifier unique to each computer or Internet usage
session.
- Store and
process that information to enhance your experience with SUS so
that we provide a service that is relevant and easy to use;
- Use that
information to contact you for informational, marketing, and
promotional purposes on behalf of The Sullivan University
System, Inc., and third parties, including such benefits as
welcoming you back to SUS or informing you of additional training
and educational offerings, service enhancements or promotional
items;
- To the extent
required to provide our services, share personally identifiable
information with any merchants that may offer their products and
services through SUS;
- Share
information about your purchases through SUS with advertisers,
business partners, sponsors, or other third parties;
- Disclose that
information to third parties when we have reason to believe that
disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact, or
bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or
interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) SUS's
rights or property, other members or users of SUS, or anyone else
that could be harmed by such activities; and
- Disclose that
information to third parties when we believe in good faith that the
disclosure is required by law or a court of competent jurisdiction;
and
- If the Sullivan
University System, Inc. sells or buys other businesses or assets, a
buyer or successor will have access to our customer lists as this
information is considered a transferable business asset.
Except as stated in this Policy, or as otherwise stated at
the time that the personally identifiable information is gathered, we will
not provide personally identifiable information to third parties.
- Nonpersonally Identifiable
Information
SUS may also
collect information about you that is not personally identifiable.
Examples of this type of information may include your age, gender,
interests and preferences, the type of Internet browser you are using,
the type of computer operating system you are using, and the domain name
of the company or organizational Web site from which you linked to SUS.
SUS may share this information with advertisers, business partners,
sponsors, or other third parties. For example, SUS may inform a sponsor
that membership of SUS is x percent females and y percent males. This
data is used to customize SUS's content and advertising and to deliver
better experience to our members and users.
- Opting Out
From time to
time, SUS and its affiliates may send you e-mail
newsletters, product announcements, surveys, or other information via
e-mail. If you prefer not to receive any or all of these communications,
you may opt out by following the directions provided within the e-mail
newsletters and product announcements.
- Children
SUS is not directed to persons under 13 years of age, and
SUS does not intend to collect any personally identifiable information from
such persons.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
