Commitment to Your Privacy
This Web Privacy Policy has been created to document and communicate the University of Hartford's commitment to respecting the personal safety of all of our visitors. It applies to official University of Hartford webpages and explains our practices concerning the collection, use, disclosure and other processing of visitor information. An official University website is one that is owned and/or sponsored by the University of Hartford, and that has been created by the University, colleges, schools, departments or other administrative units, for University business purposes. It is the policy and practice of UHart to collect the least amount of personally identifiable information necessary to fulfill its required duties and responsibilities, complete a particular transaction, deliver services, or as required by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, we reserve the right under certain circumstances to share the information we collect without your consent, unless prohibited by law.

- Information that visitors provide through optional, voluntary submissions.
- Information gathered through aggregated tracking information.

- Information collected from network traffic logs.
The University Of Hartford Gathers User Information In The Following Processes:
Optional Voluntary Information
You may provide volunteer information to the University of Hartford when email is sent, forms are completed online, surveys submitted, registering for an event, or when you request an application. We will not sell, exchange or otherwise distribute your personally identifiable information without your consent. Each web page requesting information discloses the purpose of that information. If you do not wish to have the information used in the manner indicated, you are not required to provide it. Please contact the person listed on the specific page, or listed below, with questions or concerns on the use of personally identifiable information.
Aggregate Information
Aggregate information is derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs. This website routinely collects and stores information from online visitors to help manage the site and improve service, including the pages visited on the site, the date and time of the visit, the internet address (URL or IP address) of the referring site, the domain name and IP address from which the access occurred, the version of browser used, the capabilities of the browser, and search terms used on our search engines. This site does not correlate this information with data about individual visitors: any personally identifiable information is not released to external parties without your consent.
Information Automatically Collected
Essential technical information such as pages accessed; time and date accessed; operating system used; type of browser used; information about the website from which you accessed this website and connection statistics (e.g. ports, number bytes, number packets, time of first and last packet, etc.). Essential technical information is used for such purposes as helping to respond to your request in an appropriate format and helping to plan website improvements.
Information that is automatically collected may be retained as necessary for appropriate business purposes to review and enhance website content and program delivery. While in general this information is not reported or used in any manner that would reveal personally identifiable information, it should be noted that this information, along with other information that might be available, may enable UHart to identify an individual involved in a specific transmission and that this information may be forwarded to law enforcement agencies or appropriate University personnel when required as part of an investigation.
Network Traffic Log
In the course of ensuring network security and consistent service for all users, the university employs software programs do such things as monitor network traffic, identify unauthorized access or access to nonpublic information, detect computer viruses and other software that might damage university computers or the network, and monitor the performance of the university network. In the course of such monitoring, these programs may detect such information as email headers, addresses from network packets, and other information. Information from these activities is used for the purpose of maintaining and enhancing the security and performance of the university's networks and computer systems. Personally identifiable information from these activities is not released to external parties without your consent.

Information We Collect From Third Parties
From time to time, we may receive personal information about you from third-party sources, including partners with which we offer co-branded services or engage in joint marketing activities and publicly available sources such as social media websites.
Children

Use Of Information
- The University of Hartford uses information (collected methods explained above) to enhance visitor experience in our network of sites, whether to provide interactive or personalized elements on the sites or to better prepare future content based on the interests of our visitors.
- When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our sites visitors like and don't like based on traffic to those areas, we do not track what individual visitors read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you. We track search terms entered in the Search function as one of many measures of what interests our visitors. But we don't track which terms a particular user enters.
- The University of Hartford creates aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns. We will not disclose any information about any individual user except to comply with applicable law or valid legal process or to protect the personal safety of our visitors or the public.
