Purpose (Customize)

This privacy statement is a customizable template used to disclose the privacy practices for University of Oregon ecommerce applications.

Public Disclosure

In the State of Oregon laws exist to ensure that government is open and that the public has a right to access appropriate records and information possessed by state government.  All information collected by this site becomes a public record unless an exemption in law exists.  ORS Chapter 192 contains Oregon Public Record Law.

Personal information such as name, address and telephone number may be exempt from disclosure if disclosure would constitute an unreasonable invasion of privacy.

The University of Oregon (UO) Business Affairs Office does not sell or otherwise provide any personal information collected on UO eCommerce applications to any external entity except as expressly stated on this site, or as otherwise permitted by law.

If you send us an electronic mail message that contains personal information we will only use this information to respond to your request.  We may forward your message on to another department or agency in a better position to answer your question.

You have a right to review the information collected about you by this site.  Contact the service provider to review your information.

What We Collect (Customize)

The University of Oregon Business Affairs Office may collect the following information from visitors to our web site:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) Address,
  • Type of browser and operating system used to access our site ("Netscape 4.7", "Windows 95"),
  • Date and time the user accessed our site,
  • Information regarding which pages the user accessed or visited,
  • If you link to our site from another web site, we collect the address of the other web site,
  • Information provided by the user, such as e-mail address, social security number, BANNER ID number, credit card number, and
  • Error conditions that may have occurred, including (under some circumstances) arguments which may have been supplied by the user to the program being run.

How We Use the Information We Collect (Customize)

Information provided by the user is the minimal data needed to successfully complete a web transaction.  We use contact information (like name and shipping address) and financial information (like credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, this contact information is used to get in touch with the user. 

Information collected automatically by our server is analyzed to help us understand how you use our web services and how we can improve our site to better meet your needs.  This information is also used to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information.  Such unauthorized attempts may be

Cookies (Customize)

A cookie is a small text file created by a web site on your computer hard drive that contains unique information that the site can use to track such things as passwords, lists of pages you have visited, the date you last looked at a page, or identification of your session on the site.

This site does/does not store cookies.  The cookies stored are used to...

Security

While no computing environment is 100% secure, we take every precaution to protect the user's information. When a user submits sensitive information via the web, that information is protected both online and off-line.

When a form asks users to enter confidential information (such as credit card number and/or social security number), that information is encrypted and is protected using Secure Sockets Encryption.

We strive to protect user information off-line. Access to all user information is restricted in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform necessary functions are granted access to this information. Sensitive data is stored in a secure format unless otherwise approved by the University of Oregon Vice President for Administration.

Links to Other Web Sites

Our web site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that the University of Oregon is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. The user is encouraged to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this web site.

Updating Personal Information (Optional)

We will provide a way to correct, update, or remove personal data provided to us by users. This can usually be done at the member information page or by emailing our Customer Support. [Some sites may also provide telephone or postal mail options for updating or correcting personal information].

Email Notifications (Optional)
We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username. Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users, we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our choice and opt-out below.  We communicate with the user to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone. 

Choice/Opt-out (Optional)

Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for the information. For example, our order form has an 'opt-out' mechanism so users who buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing material, can keep their email address off of our lists. 

Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at support@thiswebsite.com [Some sites are able to offer opt-out mechanisms on member information pages and also supply a telephone or postal option as a way to opt-out.] 

Users of our site are always notified when their information is being collected by any outside parties. We do this so our users can make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that require an outside party, or not.
