Midland University Online Privacy Policy

Updated July 20, 2018

Midland University is committed to the responsible use of personal information collected from and about you while you are using www.midlandu.edu.

Information We Collect

Non-personally Identifiable Information
As users access the website, Midland collects non-personally identifiable information such as IP address, browser type, and site usage. This information is not linked to any personal information and remains anonymous.

To collect this information, the university uses session “cookies” — that is, small text files that are placed on your computer’s hard drive. The session cookies used by the university do not give us access to your computer and do not provide us with personally identifiable information. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. You may modify your browser settings to disallow cookies, but this may prevent you from taking full advantage of our website.

Personally Identifiable Information
Certain areas of our website collect voluntary information that is personally identifiable, such as name, zip code, and e-mail address. This is typically done through request and registration forms provided in order to learn of your interest in Midland and provide you with information and services. Personally identifiable information may be collected as part of an online purchase, payment, or donation. In this case, Midland uses one of the following PCI-compliant third-party services to process your transaction.

The university does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children (defined herein as minors younger than thirteen years of age) without obtaining parental consent. Implied parental consent includes, but is not limited to: use of parent login, use of parent-supplied credit card, and inclusion of parent personal information on registration forms. Before registering online for a service, Midland requests that all children have their parents read this Privacy Policy as well as any additional Privacy Policy associated with the service for which they are registering and that parents continue their involvement throughout the registration process.

Use of Information We Collect
We use non-personally identifiable information while you are browsing the site to improve your individual experience and provide you with more individualized responses. We also aggregate non-personally identifiable information from many users into statistical reports in order to better administer our website, diagnose server problems that may occur from time to time, and improve our website.

By providing personally identifiable information, you imply consent to the collection and use of the information for the purposes for which it was provided. Your information is used to provide relevant materials, products, and services you request, and to facilitate relationships with the University, such as the admissions process and fundraising programs. You may opt-out of receiving information from Midland University by contacting the department from which the information came.

Only those Midland University employees who need personally identifiable information to perform a specific job are given access to the information. Unless required by law, personally identifiable information is only shared with third parties as necessary to provide the materials, products, and services you request. When third parties are given access to personally identifiable information, they are, by contract, not permitted to use or re-disclose any of the information for unauthorized purposes. Personally identifiable information is never sold to third parties.

Security
In order to protect the loss, misuse, or alteration of information gathered on our site, all information is stored within a controlled database environment accessible only to authorized University staff. However, as effective as any security measures implemented by the University may be, no security system is impenetrable. Midland University cannot guarantee the security of its database environment, nor can it guarantee that the information you provide will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the Internet.

Public Self-Disclosure
Midland University does not control the actions of its site visitors nor the use made of publicly disclosed information by site visitors. Please be aware that disclosing personally identifiable information on the site’s bulletin boards, guest books, chat rooms or other such public forums may allow visitors to gather information and send unsolicited emails. We encourage you to report any unsolicited/unwanted email or misuse of information to communications@Midlandu.edu.

Links to Other Websites
Our website may include links to other websites outside the MidlandU.edu domain, including co-branded or other affiliated sites that may or may not be owned or operated by Midland University. Such sites are not governed by this privacy statement. Users should become familiar with the privacy practices of those other sites.
