Web sites provided in the Huntington University

own privacy statements that can be viewed by clicking on the corresponding
links within each respective website. Online merchants and others who
participate in Huntington
University services
are encouraged to participate in industry privacy initiatives and to take
a responsible attitude towards consumer privacy. However, since we do not have direct
control over the policies or practices of participating merchants and

recommend and encourage that you always review the privacy policies of
merchants and other third parties before you provide any personal

3. Information We Collect and How We

b. Use of Cookies
Huntington University may use cookies to personalize or enhance your user
experience. A cookie is a small 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. For example, if you
personalize a web page, or navigate within a site, a cookie helps the site to
recall your specific information on subsequent visits. Hence, this simplifies the process of
delivering relevant content and eases site navigation by providing and saving
your preferences and login information as well as providing personalized
functionality.
Huntington
University reserves the right to share aggregated site statistics with partner
companies, but does not allow other companies to place cookies on our website
unless there is a temporary, overriding customer value (such as merging into
Huntington University.com a site that relies on third-party cookies).
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 reject cookies by
changing your browser settings then be aware that this may disable some of the
functionality on our Website.
c. Personal Information Users
Visitors to our website can register to receive e-mail, brochures, or other
items of interest. In addition
applications for admission can be submitted on-line. When you register, we may request some
personal information such as name, address, email, telephone number or
facsimile number, and other relevant information. You may also be asked to disclose personal
information to us so that we can provide assistance and information to you. For
example, such data may be warranted in order to provide online technical
support and troubleshooting.
We
will not disclose personally identifiable information we collect from you to
third parties without your permission except to the extent necessary including:
– To fulfill your service requests for
services.
–
To protect ourselves from liability, or
–
To respond to legal process or comply with law
- Use of
Web Beacons or GIF files
Huntington University
(www.huntington.edu or my.huntington.edu) Web pages may contain electronic
images known as Web beacons – sometimes also called single-pixel gifs –
that allow Huntington
University to count
users who have visited those pages and to deliver co-branded
services. Huntington University
may include Web beacons in promotional e-mail messages or newsletters in
order to determine whether messages have been opened and acted upon.
Some of these Web beacons may be placed by third party service
providers to help determine the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns
or email communications. These Web
beacons may be used by these service providers to place a persistent
cookie on your computer. This
allows the service provider to recognize your computer each time you visit
certain pages or emails and compile anonymous information in relation to
those page views, which in turn enables us and our service providers to
learn which advertisements and emails bring you to our website and how you
use the site. Huntington University
prohibits Web beacons from being used to collect or access your personal
information.
- Changes
to this Statement
Huntington University has the discretion to
occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the
“updated” date at the top of this Privacy page. We encourage you to periodically review
this privacy statement to stay informed about how we are helping to
protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use of the service
constitutes your agreement to this privacy statement and any updates.
