I. Commitment to Protection of Individual Privacy

The Ãå±±½ûµØ (Ãå±±½ûµØ) supports the protection of the privacy of individuals who visit official campus websites. It recognizes the numerous laws that govern the collection, storage, transfer, use and access to personally identifiable information. This statement extends to the collection of all personally identifiable information, regardless of source or medium. However, because Ãå±±½ûµØ is a state institution, some information collected from official websites may be subject to the Colorado Open Records Act (C.R.S. 24-72-201 et.seq.) In addition, Ãå±±½ûµØ may disclose information to third parties when such disclosure is required or permitted by law.

This statement does not apply to websites that are created and maintained for purposes other than conducting official university business by individual faculty, staff or students using resources made available within a university domain.

II. Collection of Information

It is the practice of Ãå±±½ûµØ to collect the least amount of personally identifiable information required to fulfill its duties and responsibilities, to complete a particular transaction, or as required by law. A wide variety of colleges, schools, departments, divisions, and other units contribute to Ãå±±½ûµØ's official web pages. Any website collecting personally identifiable information must include a privacy statement and collect only personally identifiable information required to fulfill the unit's duties and responsibilities.

Information you provide will only be shared with individuals within the university community who need to know it in order to respond to your request, to provide services and to carry out university business. For the same reasons, Ãå±±½ûµØ may also share your information with other people or organizations that provide services to Ãå±±½ûµØ or help us provide services to you. Ãå±±½ûµØ requires these individuals and organizations to protect your information according to this statement and applicable law.

You may choose whether or not to provide personal information to Ãå±±½ûµØ via the Internet. If you choose not to provide personal information, you can still visit most Ãå±±½ûµØ websites, but you may be unable to access certain options, offersÌýand services.

For website administration purposes, information, other than personally identifiable information, is collected for analysis. This information is used t
