(TAMU) respects your privacy. To ensure that every effort is taken to
respect that privacy, we would like to tell you what information
is collected and how it is managed.
When you visit the CIS Web site:
If you visit our Web site to read or download information, we do not collect
information about you personally. In particular, we do not use "cookies" to collect information. CIS does,
however, automatically collect certain technical information about your
Internet connection when you visit our Web site. None of this information
permits identification of personal information for any individual. We use
this information to monitor the popularity of the various features of the
site for general reporting and management functions. This information can
also be used to evaluate the accessibility of our Web site.
We do use server logs to collect information concerning your Internet connection and general information about your visit to our Web site. We use log analysis tools to create summary statistics, which are used to determine technical design specifications and identify system performance or problem areas. If you would like to know more about the information that we collect, please visit Server Log Information.
To help us ensure that this site is working and maintained properly, we do monitor certain telecommunications and automated information systems and also collect some information for analysis and statistical purposes. Sometimes this means we acquire, record and analyze portions of the data that is entered into, stored on, and/or transmitted through this site by you. This information is only released — when legally required — to help law enforcement investigations, legal proceedings or internal investigations of TAMU rule and regulation violations. These groups would use the information to track the electronic interactions back to the source computer(s) or account(s).
State law requires that you be informed of the following: (1) you are entitled to request to be informed about the information about yourself collected by use of this form (with a few exceptions as provided by law); (2) you are entitled to receive and review that information; and (3) you are entitled to have the information corrected at no charge to you.
When you send us email with a question or comment:
Personal information that you provide in an email or submitted comment will
be used only to respond to the purpose of your request and to analyze
possible trends. We may, however, redirect your email to another person or
department if they are in a better position to answer your question. The
information will not be shared with anyone outside TAMU unless we are
compelled by law to do so.
