Your privacy is important to us. At Ashland University, we are committed to undertaking reasonable measures to protect the privacy, accuracy and reliability of your personal information and to protect such information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Please read the following description of our policies and practices regarding your personal information.
Server Logs
Web servers serving our site may automatically collect information
about which pages you visit, as well as your IP address or domain
name. We may use this information for our internal Web site business
purposes, for example, to tailor our Web site content or to assess
the amount of traffic to our Web site. We may also combine your
information with that of others to develop aggregated statistical
market and customer samples.
Cookies
In certain circumstances, we may place a "cookie" on your computer.
A cookie is a file written to your computer's hard drive that are
often used to remember information about preferences and pages you
have visited. Also, if you submit personal information to our Web
site (such as your name, interests or preferences), we may use cookies
to keep track of such information so that you will not need to reenter
this information during subsequent visits. We use cookies to customize
delivery of our Web site content. You may set your Internet browser
preferences to notify you when you receive a cookie or decline acceptance
of cookies. If you decline acceptance of cookies, however, you may
experience less than optimal performance of our Web site.
E-commerce
Several sites within Ashland University enable you to pay for products
or services online with a credit card. Unless otherwise noted, these
transactions are encrypted. It is University policy that confidential
information you enter in the transaction is used only for the purposes
described in that transaction, unless an additional use is specifically
stated on that site. Credit card numbers are used for individual
transactions and are not retained in our records or files.
Enrolment and Registration
forms
If personal information is collected via a Web site and held, every
effort will be made to ensure that this is done by sufficiently
secure means. A student may elect to enroll in person rather than
providing personal information to the University via a Website.
For certain applications, our site's enrollment and registration
forms require users to give information such as: name, address,
birth date and social security number.
External Links
Some University sites contain links to other sites. The University
is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of such
Web sites.
If you have any comments or questions about the information you have submitted on this Web site, including its accuracy or integrity, or if you wish to access and verify such information, please contact webmstr@ashland.edu.
