Gross Schechter School knows that you care how information about you is used and shared. Our privacy policy (“Policy” or “Privacy Policy”) is designed to tell you about our practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personally identifiable information that you may provide via this Site (the “Site”). Please be sure to read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this Site.
This statement applies to personally identifiable information collected only online within the United States. When this Privacy Policy uses the term “personally identifiable information,” we mean information that identifies a particular individual, such as the individual’s name, postal address, email address and telephone number. When other information is directly associated with personally identifiable information, this other information also becomes personally identifiable information for purposes of this Policy.
Personally identifiable information is sometimes referred to in this Policy as “personal information.” Gross Schechter School is sometimes referred to in this Policy as “Gross Schechter,” “we,” “us” or “our.” The term “you,” “your” or “yourself” shall refer to the user who is browsing this Site.
Your Consent
When you access or use this Site, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
By providing personal information to the Site, all users, including, but not limited to, users in the European Union, fully understand and consent to the collection and processing of such information in the United States of America.
Collection of Information
Information You Give Us
As with many websites, this Site actively collects information from its visitors both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to communicate directly with us via email and our account registration, information request, event registration and online contribution forms. Some of the information that you submit to us may be personally identifiable information, including, but not limited to, your name, address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, user name and/or password associated with the password protected portions of this Site, credit card information and educational and professional information.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information; Cookies
As part of the standard operation of this Site, we may passively collect some non-personal information about you (such as a user’s IP address) using information-gathering technology, so it may not be readily apparent to you that it is being collected. This information is not personally identifiable. At this time, we do not analyze or disclose such information. The various technologies used to power the different Site sections meet or exceed all applicable federal regulations for data security and personal information protection: SSL encryption is activated whenever personal data is collected, cookies stored on users’ computers don’t contain personally-identifiable information, and webSite browsing is not tracked on personal level. We will provide prior notice if and when we choose to change this practice.
Use and Disclosure of Information
The personal information that you provide to Gross Schechter may be stored, processed and used by Gross Schechter to contact you, provide you with information about Gross Schechter (such as newsletters, updates or other literature), respond to your requests for information, update our records and conduct transactions with you.
We may also provide this information to employees, agents or service providers acting on Gross Schechter’s behalf in connection with the activities described above and other professional, technical and administrative services. Gross Schechter will only provide those employees, agents and service providers the personal information they need to perform their functions for us.
Except as set forth in this Privacy Policy, we will not voluntarily disclose your personally identifiable information to other third parties without your permission. We do not sell your personal information.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information as you transmit your information from your computer to our Site and to protect such information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever 100% secure or error-free. Gross Schechter cannot warrant the security of any information that you submit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
In particular, email sent to or from this Site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email. Moreover, where you use passwords, ID numbers or other special access features on this Site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them. Remember to sign off the Site and close your browser window when you are finished. This is to ensure that others cannot pose as you online.
