Privacy Policy
Privacy Statement
Wilfrid Laurier University Alumni Relations Office policy is to respect and protect the privacy of our users. This policy statement tells you how we collect information from you and how we use it. Using the Internet should be a fun experience and we want to help you make it so. We will never intentionally disclose individual identification information about its visitors to any third party, except in the limited circumstances stated below.
Where do we gather information from you and what do we do with it?
We also keep track of how our web site content is accessed. When you request a page from our servers, we store that request and the time you made it, along with the IP address of the computer that made the request. (An IP address is a unique number assigned to every computer on the Internet that other computers, like our servers, use to identify and send data to that computer.) We keep track of these requests in pretty much the same way that every commercial web site out there does. This access information helps us figure out what the most and least popular parts of the site are, so we can make more of the most popular things and less of the least popular things.
How else do we use the information that is gathered?
We can present reports, in aggregate, to our alumni board and other internal parties about what kinds of people will see or have seen the content. Remember that we never disclose information that individually identifies you, such as your name or your e-mail address.
We may, however, disclose information that individually identifies you to third parties when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, other members or users of the Laurier Alumni web site, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may also disclose such information to third parties when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
Does the Alumni Relations Office send out e-mail messages? How do I opt out of these e-mail messages?
We currently send out an email newsletter four times per year. From time to time we may also send out special announcements.
We will not provide your e-mail address to a party outside Wilfrid Laurier University for purposes of solicitation of any kind. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time.
Additional Notes:
We provide links to other sites that we believe can offer you useful information and services. However, we are not responsible for the privacy policies or actions of any third parties that control the activities of such third-party sites. We suggest contacting the relevant parties controlling these sites or accessing their online policies for the relevant information about their data collection.
Your Consent
By using the this site, you consent to the collection and use of this information by us. We reserve the right, at any time, to modify, alter or update these policies, and you agree to be bound by such modifications, alterations, or updates. If we are required to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page so that you are always aware of what information we collect, and how we use it.
How can I get more information about other privacy issues related to your site?
If you have any questions about anything not contained in this document, you can contact us at alumni@wlu.ca.
