Privacy Policy

University Instructors LLC and its affiliates (collectively referred to as “UI”) respect the privacy of your personal information.  This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information that UI may collect from you at its websites (each referred to as “the Site”), what we do with that information, and with whom we may share the information.

User Agreement

Each visitor to the Site (“the User”) is encouraged to review this Privacy Policy. By using the Site, the User is accepting the Privacy Policy. The Privacy Policy cannot be changed by the User.

Scope

The Privacy Policy applies to all UI corporate websites that are generally accessible by the public.  The Privacy Policy does not apply to password-protected websites created by UI for specific UI clients, which by their nature require different uses of personal information.  The policy also does not apply to the websites to which this website may link.  If you choose to follow a link to another website, please consult the privacy policy for that site.

Amendments

UI may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post the amended version on the Site.

This Privacy Policy was last updated on June 26, 2020. 

Collection and Use of User information

UI collects and processes two types of User information: computer information that is collected automatically, and personal information that you enter voluntarily.  All personal information is collected directly from Users, not from third parties.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under 16 years of age.

Automatic Collection of Computer Information

When you visit the Site, UI does not automatically collect personal information from you or about you (such as your name or mailing address). However, the Site does place small files called “cookies” on your computer to automatically collect and store certain types of data from the computer that you use to access the Site. UI uses this computer information to assess interest in the Site and its pages, and for other internal business purposes. For more information please select the Cookie Preferences link in the site footer.

Collection of Voluntarily Provided Personal Information

UI also may request and collect certain personal information from Users who wish to be contacted by UI or to receive UI publications such as white papers and newsletters. This personal information may include the User’s name, email address, telephone number, and mailing address. UI does not request or collect other personal information such as social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, or financial account numbers. You are under no obligation to provide any information about yourself, though certain information may be needed in order to respond to a request for information or publications. We will not attempt to match this personal information with IP addresses and other automatically collected information, except as may be necessary to police misuse of the Site.

User information posted by the User on a UI blog may be accessible to anyone visiting the blog.

UI does not sell, rent, or trade personal information for commercial purposes.

UI does not transfer personal data outside of the United States.

You may opt out of receiving communications from UI by contacting the Website Administrator as described below.
