Amoud University Website's Privacy Statement
The University is committed to protecting your privacy. The following sets out how the University will deal with personal information recorded through the use of its web sites.
1.Collection of Information
The University may make a record of your visit and log any of the following information for statistical and business purposes- the user's address, the user's domain name, IP address, the date and time of the visit, the pages accessed and documents downloaded, the previous site visited and the type of browser used. Identification of the user may also be requested and logged.
Security Information
University sites have security measures in place against the loss, misuse and alteration of information as defined in the University's IT Security Policy.
A login name and password are required to visit secure areas. Before personal information (such as examination results) is published on the site, visitors are required to enter their student or staff number as well. This is to ensure that the information is displayed only to the intended person. You should ensure that your password is kept securely and cannot be discovered by anyone else.
Enrolment and Registration forms
If personal information is collected via a website and held, every effort will be made to ensure that this is done by sufficiently secure means.
A student may elect to enroll in person rather than providing personal information to the University via a website.
For certain applications, our site's enrolment and/ registration forms require users to give contact information (like name and e-mail address) and unique identifiers (like login identification and student number).
External Links
Some University sites contain links to other sites. The University is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites.
2. Use of Personal Information
Personal information you supply on-line will be used by the University staff in conducting the business of the University. Such uses include matters related to student administration, provision of services and the dissemination of information to staff, prospective and current students and remaining in contact with graduates. The University may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with a server and to administer a web site. Your IP address is sometimes used to set up individual sessions to provide secure logins.
3. Disclosure of personal information
The University will not disclose personal information concerning you to parties outside the University. However, staff e-mail addresses will be made available in accordance with Amoud's External Access to Staff Contact Details Policy.
Public Forums
Some University sites may have chat rooms, forums, on-line teaching environments, message boards and or/news groups available to their users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information.
4. Data Quality/Access
The University will always try to maintain accurate, complete and up-to-date information regarding staff and students. If you think that your personal information retained by the University requires changing please contact Webmaster or Student affairs office as appropriate.
