The Colossian Forum has a firm commitment to your privacy. We do not collect personally identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us. Providing such information is strictly voluntary. This policy is your guide to how we will handle information we learn about you from your visit to our website:
- Reading or Downloading
We collect and store only the following information about you: the name of the domain from which you access the Internet (for example, gmail.com, if you are connecting from a Google 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 to our site. We use the information we collect to measure the number of visitors to the different sections of our site. We may also use the information to help us improve the content and functionality of our website, to better understand the needs and interests of the people and organizations that use our website, and to improve our programs and services. - Sending us an Email
You also may decide to send us personally identifying information in an electronic mail message containing a question or comment, or by filling out a web form that provides us this information. We use personally identifying information from email primarily to respond to your requests. We may forward your email to other employees who are better able to answer your questions. We may also use your email to contact you in the future about our programs that may be of interest. 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. Providing such information is strictly voluntary. Except as might be required by law, we do not share any information we receive with any parties outside The Colossian Forum. If you sign up for one of our email lists, we will only send you the kinds of information you have requested. We won't share your name or email address with any parties outside The Colossian Forum. - Opt-Out or Change Your Contact Information
Our site provides users the opportunity to opt-out of receiving communications from us through clicking on the opt-out (or "unsubscribe") link at the bottom of all of our subscription-based communications. You cannot remove yourself from our database, but you can prevent unwanted communication.
Information Security and Data Retention
The Colossian Forum has technical, administrative, and physical safeguards in place to help protect against unauthorized access to, use, or disclosure of customer information we collect or store, including social security numbers. Employees are trained on the importance of protecting privacy and on the proper access to, use, and disclosure of customer information. Under our practices and policies, access to sensitive personally identifiable information is authorized only for those who have a business need for such access. Personally identifiable and other sensitive records are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for business, accounting, tax, or legal purposes.
Although we work hard to protect personal information that we collect and store, no program is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee that our safeguards will prevent every unauthorized attempt to access, use, or disclose personal information. The Colossian Forum maintains security and incident response plans to handle incidents involving unauthorized access to private information we collect or store.
If you become aware of a security issue, please contact us [email protected]. We will work with you to address any problems.
