What Information We Collect: Our registration forms require users to give us contact information that may include name, e-mail address, format preference (HTML vs. Text), address, interests, and similar information. We do not request or store sensitive information from our visitors, such as birth dates or social security numbers.
Contact Us: We use email links located on the "contact us" page and other areas of the site to allow you to contact us directly with any questions or comments you may have. We read every message sent in and try to reply promptly to every one. This information is used to respond directly to your questions or comments. We may also file your comments to improve the site and program, or review and discard the information.
How Such Information is Used: Your email address may be used to send you communications of interest from the Fulbright Academy. These may include email newsletters or other email updates, invitations to events and news about conferences and employment opportunities. You can opt-out of these communications at any time by logging into http://www.FulbrightAcademy.org/ and accessing your profile.
Who Has Access to Your Information: Fulbright Academy staff, members, and alumni of Fulbright programs can access biographical data (name, address, email address and phone number, etc.) via the online directory. No information of a sensitive nature (i.e., credit card information) is accessible by other users at any time. In addition, individual users may choose at any time to limit what information is available in their online directory listing on a line-by-line basis (i.e., a member may choose to display the city and state in which they live but not their street address), or the person may opt-out of appearing in the directory altogether. Your personal information is NEVER shared with third parties for outside marketing or other purposes.
Internet Protocol Address: We collect an IP address from all visitors to our Site. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server, administer our Site, analyze trends, track users' movement, gather broad demographic information for aggregate use in order for us to improve the site, and deliver customized, personalized content. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.
Use of "Cookies": Our Site may use cookies to enhance your experience while using our Site. Cookies are pieces of information that some Web sites transfer to the computer that is browsing that Web site and are used for record-keeping purposes at many Web sites. Use of cookies makes Web-surfing easier by performing certain functions such as saving your passwords, your personal preferences regarding your use of the particular Web site and to make sure you don't see the same ad repeatedly. Many consider the use of cookies to be an industry standard. Your browser is probably set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you can alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our Site will not function properly when you view them.
How You Can Correct Any Inaccuracies in Your Information: You may update your information or correct inaccuracies at any time by logging into http://www.worldearning.org/ and accessing your directory listing. Changes will show immediately in the online directory; however, please allow several weeks for changes to appear in mailings and other printed materials. You may also update or correct your personal information by emailing info@FulbrightAcademy.org or by calling 207-799-3098. Please allow two weeks for corrections to be made via email or phone.
Security: All information provided to the Fulbright Academy is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a proven coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to us. We also protect account information by placing it on a secure portion of our Site that is only accessible by certain qualified employees of the Fulbright Academy. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information.
Fulbright Academy Information Security Plan: In addition to this privacy policy for the Fulbright Academy of Science & Technology’s online community, the Fulbright Academy has an overall Information Security Plan which describes safeguards to protect covered data and information in our information systems.
Tell-A-Friend: If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our Site, we ask them for the friend's name and e-mail address. The Fulbright Academy will automatically send the friend a one-time e-mail inviting them to visit the Site. This information is stored for the sole purpose of sending this one-time e-mail.
