Crowley’s Ridge College (CRC) is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the CRC institutional website—www.crc.edu—and governs data collection and usage. By using this website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.
CRC collects personally identifiable information, such as your email address, name, home or work address, or telephone number. CRC also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests, and favorites.
There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by CRC. This information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times, and referring website addresses. This information is used by CRC for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of the CRC website.
CRC encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from www.crc.edu so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. CRC is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of www.crc.edu.
CRC collects and uses your personal information to operate the CRC website and deliver the services you have requested. CRC also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from CRC. CRC may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.
CRC does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. CRC may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, CRC may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to CRC, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
CRC does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent.
CRC keeps track of the websites and pages our customers visit within www.crc.edu, in order to determine what CRC services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within www.crc.edu to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.
The www.crc.edu website will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on CRC or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of CRC; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of www.crc.edu, or the public.
The www.crc.edu website uses “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize www.crc.edu pages, or register with the CRC site or services, a cookie helps CRC to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same CRC website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the www.crc.edu features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the CRC services or websites you visit.
CRC secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. CRC secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. If personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
CRC will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. CRC encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how the College is protecting your information.
CRC welcomes your comments regarding this Statement of Privacy. If you believe that CRC has not adhered to this Statement, please contact Crowley’s Ridge College’s Information Technology department. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and remedy the problem.
