Cookies
Cookies are small amounts of data that Columbia Colege鈥檚 websites may place on your computer鈥檚 hard drive. A cookie file contains unique information that our websites can use to track such things as the password you create to access any of our site, lists of webpages you have visited, the date when you last looked at a specific webpage, or to identify your session on our websites. A cookie file allows our websites to recognize you as you click through pages on our site and when you later revisit our site. 性视界's websites use cookies to 鈥渞emember鈥 your preferences, and to record your browsing behavior on our websites. Although you can prevent our websites from placing cookies on your hard drive, there may be some features of our websites that will not be available to you and some web pages may not display properly if you disable cookies. No personal data is stored in cookies on your computer.
Links
性视界's websites may include links to other websites. We do not control the privacy policies of the destination sites. Once you leave our servers (you can check where you are by checking the URL in the location bar on your browser), use of any information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the operator of the site you are visiting. That policy may differ from ours. If you cannot find the privacy policy of any of these sites via a link from the site鈥檚 homepage, you should contact the manager of that site for more information. 性视界 is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of websites other than the College's websites.
Confidentiality and Integrity of Personal Information
性视界 is strongly committed to protecting personal information collected through its websites against unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Consequently, 性视界 limits employee access to personal information collected through its websites to only those employees who need access to the information in the performance of their official duties. Employees who have access to this information follow appropriate procedures in connection with any disclosures of personal information.
In addition, 性视界 has implemented procedures to safeguard the integrity of its information technology assets, including, but not limited to, authentication, authorization, monitoring, auditing, and encryption. These security procedures have been integrated into the design, implementation, and day-to-day operations of 性视界鈥檚 websites as part of our continuing commitment to the security of electronic content as well as the electronic transmission of information.
Although the College employs security that we believe to be appropriate to protect your personal information, we do not guarantee that our security precautions will protect against, and we expressly disclaim any liability for, any loss, misuse, or alteration of your personal information.
Changes to 性视界 Privacy Policy
性视界 may update this policy at any time. We will notify you about significant changes in the way we treat personal information by sending a notice to the email address that you have provided us or by placing a prominent notice on our website.
From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future we will post the policy changes to our website to notify you of these changes with an opportunity to opt out of these new uses. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check our website periodically.
