CBD College Website Privacy Policy
Effective November 16, 2017

Community Based Education & Development, doing business as CBD College, is committed to ensuring the privacy and accuracy of your confidential information and to compliance with both state and federal regulations concerning the use of personal information. Other than as required by laws that guarantee to third parties the right to certain types of information, or in response to subpoenas or other legal instruments that authorize access, personally-identifiable information is not shared. In particular, we do not re-distribute or sell personal information collected on our Web servers. This policy applies to information that is collected by any means whether electronically, by telephone, or on paper.

Information Collected
The College’s websites may collect personal information such as name, address, zip code, e-mail address, telephone number(s), Student ID and/or educational interests. Such personal information may be requested for research, public service or teaching programs, or for administrative purposes. Additional personal information, such as credit card account information, may be requested for purchases or enrollment purposes.

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages sent to collected phone number(s). Text help for help & stop to unsubscribe from messages. Your consent is not required to receive information or be eligible to enroll with CBD College.

Web servers typically collect the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer being used, internet web pages requested, the referring internet web page, the browser used, and the date and time. The College may collect statistics identifying particular IP addresses from which our Web sites are accessed.

Use of Collected Information
The College may use personal information collected from Web sites for the purpose of future communication back to online enrollees, in order to keep you informed of such activities as campus programs, symposia and/or special events, but only if you are provided the opportunity to opt out of that type of use. The College may also use this information to make your online experience more customized for you.

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site by identifying (1) which parts of our site are most heavily used, and (2) which portion of our audience comes from within the College’s network. We do not link IP addresses to personally identifiable information. This means that user sessions will be tracked, but the users remain anonymous. The College also does research on our users’ demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us upon registration, or from our server log files. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis.

Cookies
A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from our web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Some of the College’s sites use “cookies” in order to deliver Web content specific to individual users’ interests. Sensitive personal information is not stored within cookies. If you wish to block, erase, or be warned of cookies, please refer to your browser instructions or help screen to learn about these functions. We use temporary “session” cookies to maintain information we need to have in order for you to browse from page to page. Session cookies are temporary and disappear after you close your browser. You can prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or disable cookies altogether by accessing your browser’s preferences menu.

Distribution of Collected Information
Subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy, the College will not disclose, without your consent, personal information collected about you, except for certain explicit circumstances in which disclosure is (a) required by law; (b) necessary to protect the College’s interests; (c) necessary to facilitate the Website’s operation; (d) necessary due to your violation of the College’s terms of use or other policies, (e) necessary to prevent harm to yourself or others, or (e) done in accordance with your instructions.

The College Privacy Policy is reviewed periodically and may be modified at the discretion of the College and without notice to you. Changes to the privacy policy will be incorporated and posted on this site. You are encouraged to read the privacy policy as the College will not notify you of subsequent changes. Accessing the College’s websites constitutes your agreement to the privacy policy, now and as amended.

External Links
The College website may contain links to other websites whose privacy policies are beyond our control. The College is not responsible for the privacy policies, practices or content of such websites.

Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example on message boards, through email, or in instant message or chat areas – that this information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, the College cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible whenever you are online.
