This privacy notice applies to sites and applications hosted on the kuali.org domain or subdomain of the Kuali Foundation (kuali.org) and explains our practices concerning the collection, use, and disclosure of visitor information. Visitor information collected by Kuali Foundation will be used only as outlined in this privacy notice.

Changes

Because Internet technologies continue to evolve rapidly, Kuali Foundation may make appropriate changes to this notice in the future. Any such changes will be consistent with our commitment to respecting visitor privacy, and will be clearly posted in a revised privacy notice.

Collection and Use

Passive/Automatic Collection

When you view pages on our site, the web server automatically collects certain technical information from your computer and about your connection including:

• your IP address
• the domain name from which you visit our site
• user-specific information on which pages are visited
• aggregate information on pages visited
• the refering website
• the date and time of visit
• the duration of visit
• your browser type
• your screen resolution

Continued use of our web site indicates consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of this information as described in this notice.

This technical information may be retained and utilized to help enhance security, performance and troubleshoot the sites or services.

Active/Manual/Voluntary Collection

Other than automatically collected technical information about your visit (described above, or cookies, described below), we may ask you to provide information voluntarily, such as through forms or other manual input—in order to make products and services available to you, to maintain and manage our relationship with you, including providing associated services or to better understand and serve your needs. This information is generally retained as long as you continue to maintain a relationship with us. Your providing this information is wholly voluntary. However, not providing the requested information (or subsequently asking that the data be removed) may affect our ability to deliver the products or service for which the information is needed. Providing the requested information indicates your consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of this information as described in this notice. Information we may actively collect could include:

• the email addresses of those who communicate with us via email
• name
• telephone numbers
• information volunteered by the visitor, such as preferences, survey information and/or site registrations

Information Usage

This information is:

• used to improve the content of our site
• used to notify visitors about updates to our site
• Some of this information is shared with other community members

Information Sharing

The strength of an open-source community lies with members sharing their knowledge and experiences with the whole community. To aid in this communication, we share your contact information with other community members.

We may share aggregate, non-personally-identifiable information with other entities or organizations.

We do not share any personally-identifiable information with other entities or organizations outside the community, except when legally required to do so, at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation, to verify or enforce compliance with the policies governing our website and applicable laws, or to protect against misuse or unauthorized use of our website.

Except as described above, we will not share any information with any party for any reason.

Except as provided in the Disclosure of Information section below, we do not attempt to use the technical information discussed in this section to identify individual visitors.

Cookies

A cookie is a small data file that is written to your hard drive that contains information about your visit to a web page. If you prefer not to receive cookies, you may configure your browser not to accept them at all, or to notify and require approval before accepting new cookies. Some web pages/sites may not function properly if the cookies are turned off, or you may have to provide the same information each time you visit those pages.

Our site does not use cookies to store information about your actions or choices on pages associated with our site.

Children

This site is not directed to children under 13 years of age, does not sell products or services intended for purchase by children, and does not knowingly collect or store any personal information, even in aggregate, about children under the age of 13. We encourage parents and teachers to be involved in children's Internet explorations. It is particularly important for parents to guide their children when they are asked to provide personal information online.

Use of Third Party Services

Google Analytics

The Kuali Foundation uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies" (described above) to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including possibly your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google.

For more information, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.

Mollom

The Kuali Foundation uses Mollom, a next generation spam filtering technology. Rather than provide a cumbersome CAPTCHA by default to all users, Mollom analyzes your form submissions and evaluates the likelihood that you are either a human or spam bot — then decides whether to utilize additional tools, like a CAPTCHA. Use of our forms signifies that you accept that your message and other details will be analyzed and stored for anti-spam and quality monitoring purposes, in accordance with Mollom's privacy policy. You may opt-out of such services by contacting the Kuali Foundation via email at info@kuali.org.

Disclosure of Information

Other than sharing your information with other appropriate organization personnel and projects to ensure the quality, functionality, and security of our sites, or manage your relationship with us, we will not disclose personally identifiable information about your use of the site except under the following circumstances:

• With your prior written (including email) consent
• When we have given you clear notice that we will disclose information that you voluntarily provide
• With appropriate external parties, such as law enforcement agencies, in order to investigate and respond to suspected violations of law.

Security

Due to the rapidly evolving nature of information technologies, no transmission of data over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. While we are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to our sites, and you do so at your own risk. However, once we receive your information, we will use reasonable safeguards consistent with prevailing industry standards and commensurate with the sensitivity of the data being stored to maintain the security of that information on our systems.

In addition, we will comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws regarding the privacy and security of visitor information.

Privacy Notice Changes

From time to time, we may use visitor information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice.

Only data collected from the time of the policy change forward will be used for these new purposes. If you are concerned about how your information is used, you should check back at our Website periodically.
