This
is how we will handle information we learn about you from your
visit to our website. The information we receive depends upon what
you do when visiting our site.
If you
visit our site to read or download information, such as brochures,
newsletters or press releases:
We
collect and store only the following information about
you: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet
(for example, aol.com, if you are connecting from an America
Online account, or princeton.edu if you are connecting from Princeton
University's domain); the date and time you access our site;
and the Internet address of the website from which you linked
directly to our site. We do not store any personal identifiers.
This information is not stored in any particular fashion, but
is part of a systems log file.
For site
management, information is collected for statistical purposes. Our
system utilizes software programs that create summary statistics,
which are then used for such purposes as assessing what information
is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications,
and identifying system performance or problem areas. We use the information
we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections
of our site, and to help us make our site more useful to visitors.
This information is only used internally, does not contain personal
identifiers,
and will only be used for internal management purposes.
If you
identify yourself by sending an E-mail, filling out a registration
form, or questionnaire:
You
also may decide to send us personally-identifying information,
for example, in an electronic mail (e-mail) message. We use personally-identifying
information from consumers in various ways to further our customer's
protection and to provide better service. This may be to correct
broken links that you have identified or provide additional information
that you have requested. See Talk
to Us to learn what can happen to the information
you provide us when you send us e-mail or fill out a registration
form or questionnaire. Any information that we collect
via a registration form or questionnaire may be subject to disclosure,
but will be handled in accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act and
the Freedom of Information
Act to ensure the greatest protection of personal privacy
in the face of any required disclosure.
We
want to be very clear: We will not obtain personally-identifying
information about you when you visit our site, unless you
choose to provide such information to us.

Be aware that the sites you may link to from our web pages may collect information
from you, and the practices of those web sites, use of cookies etc., are
not covered under this disclosure. We advocate that you read their privacy
disclosures, in order to be further aware of what information is collected
about you and how it is used.

there are a few things you should know.

the information you send into our electronic database created for
certain programs, such as services we provide or future education

may be used to determine how to better serve our customers or obtain
feedback on services you’d like to see us provide, how we are doing,

communication is very sensitive, or includes personal information
like your bank account, charge card, or social security number,
you might want to send it by postal mail instead.
