Wright University Online Privacy Statement
Last Update: October 7, 2021
1. Acceptance of Terms. This Online Privacy Statement applies to this website ("website") which is published by a Wright University ("WU") education, research, or service area (internal or external to WU). WU is committed to respecting individuals’ privacy. Use of this website is voluntary. By using this website, you consent to the collection and use of your personally identifiable information ("PII") and non-personal information as described in this Online Privacy Statement. This Online Privacy Statement governs the use and disclosure of information collected through this website.
2. Additional Applicable Rights Regarding Your Data. Applicable laws may give you additional rights to request access to, or to request the erasure, correction or transfer of, your data. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) provides certain rights to persons who were/are residing in the European Union when data were/are collected. If the EU GDPR applies to your data then you may ask to see your data or request, to the extent allowed by law, to have your data corrected or erased. You may also object to or request restrictions on how your data will be processed. You may ask that your data be forwarded or transferred to another organization. Finally, to the extent allowed by law, you may withdraw consent you have given to certain data processing, without penalty. If you do decide to withdraw consent at a later date, your withdrawal will not affect the legality of the processing of your data up to that point.
3. Changes. WU may change this Online Privacy Statement from time to time. If WU does make a change, WU will post the revised Online Privacy Statement on this website. WU encourages you to review this Online Privacy Statement periodically.
4. Collection Methods. WU uses various technologies such as cookies, web analytics, applets, scripts, server logs, custom URL parameters, and tracking images and pixels, to collect information. Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a site. Cookies are widely used by site owners in order to make their sites work more efficiently. WU may use information from cookies for purposes such as website administration or assessing the technical function of this website. WU may also use cookies to track information about which pages you visit within this website to help WU gauge the effectiveness of this website or WU content. Depending on your browser you may be able to disable certain collection methods. This may limit your ability to use some features of this website.
5. Data Protection. WU works hard to protect the security of the information that you provide to WU. While WU strives to protect your information through measures that protect WU systems, such security cannot be guaranteed. Consequently, WU does not insure or warrant the security of information you transmit, and you do so at your own risk.
6. Disclosure or Sharing Your Information. WU may disclose your PII to other authorized users of this website. WU may use third party service providers and suppliers to facilitate this website and the services WU provides, and they may have access to PII. Authorized users are WU employees or third parties who have been granted access and have a need to know the information collected in order to fulfill WU's mission and business needs. WU may disclose PII to other affiliated institutions and/or if WU is required to do so by law. For further information, please refer to the Wright University Data Privacy Policy found under the policy tab (coming soon) on www.wrightuniversity.net.

The Internet Protocol (IP) address and name of the Internet domain you used to access the Internet;
The IP address of the website from which you linked directly to a WU;
The date and time you accessed a WU website;
The pages you visited; and
The web browser and operating system you used to access a WU website.
This information ("non-personal information") does not identify you personally unless you also provided personal information such as name, username, email, mailing address, social network information, and phone number. WU uses information to monitor the effectiveness of this website and to consider potential improvements to this website. WU may combine collected data from your visit to the website with additional information from WU.
8. Non-WU Websites. WU may provide links on this website to other sites of interest. Your use of such linked websites is subject to the privacy statements of the providers of those websites. WU encourages you to be aware when you leave this website and to read the privacy statements of each website you visit.
9. Personally Identifiable Information WU Might Collect From You. WU may request that you voluntarily provide certain PII to participate in the password-protected areas, download information, join WU mailing lists, engage in payment transactions, or for other purposes (as defined in the Website Terms and Conditions of Use). WU does not collect any PII about you when you visit this website unless you give WU that information. You may choose not to provide PII via this website.
10. Use of Your Personally Identifiable Information. Unless there are restrictions on use of your PII or unless WU tells you otherwise, WU (or third parties engaged by WU) may use your PII on a lawful basis to fulfill a legitimate interest of WU to:
Administer your participation in this website;
Communicate information WU thinks may be of interest to you;
Fulfill your requests for services or materials;
