PRIVACY STATEMENT

The San Diego Imperial County Community Colleges (SDICCC) are committed to protecting your privacy online. The purpose of this statement is to inform you of our policy in the collection of personal information that we may collect from you and how it is used by the SDICCC.

PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED ON THE SDICCC WEBSITE

The SDICCC website only collects personal information that is provided to us when you complete online forms.

SHARING PERSONAL INFORMATION

The SDICCC does not share, rent or sell personal, financial or health-related information to anyone and strictly adheres to all state and federal laws pertaining to privacy of records. Additionally, the SDICCC will not disclose personal information unless we have your written permission or are under court order to do so.

OTHER INFORMATION

The SDICCC web server collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for system administration purposes, to track system usage, or for security purposes. These IP addresses are kept in a log file and are a normal part of the web server. An IP address only identifies a computer or, in the case of pooled IP addresses, one among a group of computers. Personal information is not available from an IP address. Additionally, this information would not be distributed or shared with a third party unless directed by court order.

ABOUT COOKIES

A cookie is a small data file sent from a website through your web browser and stored in your computer’s hard drive. When you return to a website, the cookie informs the web server who you are and what your preferences are, thereby triggering the website to customize your browsing experience at that site. For example, if a site greets you by name with a “welcome back” message, that is accomplished by using a cookie. You must enable your browser to receive cookies.
