<div class="sfContentBlock sf-Long-text" ><h1><strong>Web Privacy Notice</strong></h1> <h3>Scope</h3> <p>The Big Ten Academic Alliance (“Consortium”) owns, controls, operates and/or maintains Web sites under a number of domains hosted by the University of Illinois (collectively, “Consortim Web”). This Web Privacy Notice applies to all domains within Consortium Web.</p> <h3>Purpose</h3> <p>As part of its commitment to maintain the privacy of users of Consortium Web sites, the Consortium has developed this privacy notice. The notice has three purposes:</p> <ol> <li>To inform users and Web practitioners about specific privacy guidelines employed at the Consortium.</li> <li>To notify users about the terms and conditions governing use of the Consortium Website.</li> <li> To notify users this notice applies generally to the provision of personal information by individuals in the European Economic Area. It explains how the Consortium meets its obligations under the <a href="http://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-5419-2016-INIT/en/pdf">European Union General Data Protection Regulation</a> with respect to such information.</li> </ol> <h3>Rule on Sharing of Information</h3> <p>The Consortium uses the Consortium Web for business purposes and is committed to ensuring the privacy of personal information. Use of the Consortium Web is subject to all applicable state and federal laws, as well as our general policies. It is our usual practice not to share any personal information with those outside the Consortium. However, when circumstances arise for the need to share information gathered from its Consortium Web servers, the Consortium may share as:</p> <ul> <li>authorized by law,</li> <li>permitted under our policies,</li> <li>authorized by an approved Consortium contract,</li> <li>clearly stated at a Consortium Web site that such information will be shared and the user indicates consent by providing the information,</li> <li>consent is otherwise given,</li> <li>available, certain student and employee demographic information with the Consortium member institutions and other educational institutions with questions about students who have been admitted or earned a degree from a member institution, or</li> <li>authorized for good cause by the Provosts of the Consortium.</li> </ul> <h3>Exceptions to Rule</h3> <p>The Consortium Web consists of several Web servers. Some servers hosted by the Consortium may adopt diﬀerent privacy notices as their speciﬁc needs require. If another Consortium Web server has a privacy notice that is diﬀerent from this notice, then that notice must be approved by the Consortium Executive Director or equivalent administrator responsible for that domain, and it must be posted on the site that has adopted the diﬀerent notice. However, those sites cannot adopt a privacy notice that in any way supersedes federal or state laws or regulations or our policies.</p> <h3>Online Surveys and Other Information Provided by the User</h3> <p>In the course of using Consortium Web sites, a user may choose to provide information to help the Consortium serve that user’s needs. At any time there are numerous online surveys being conducted on Consortium Web sites. Person(s) responsible for conducting online surveys that collect personally‑identiﬁable information should clearly state at the survey site the extent to which any information provided will be shared. Aggregate data from surveys may be shared with external third parties in ways that do not compromise privacy.</p> <h3>Public Forums</h3> <p>Some units of the Consortium provide mailing lists, forums, and message boards for their users. Any information that is disclosed in these areas may become public information and a user should therefore exercise caution when deciding to disclose one’s personal information in such places. Message board sessions and discussion forums may be logged.</p> <h3>E-Commerce</h3> <p>Several sites within the Consortium enable payment for products or services online with a credit card. These transactions are commercially secure and utilize a centralized process. The Consortium follows the policies set forth by the University of Illinois at Urbana‑Champaign. For additional details, see Section 21 of the University’s Business and Financial Policies and Procedures Manual (“Credit Card Sales Through Unit Web Sites”) at:</p> <p><a href="https://www.obfs.uillinois.edu/bfpp/section-21-merchant-cards">https://www.obfs.uillinois.edu/bfpp/section-21-merchant-card</a></p> <h3>Rules for Individuals under Thirteen Years of Age</h3> <p>The Consortium is committed to complying fully with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. Accordingly, if a user of the Consortium Web is under the age of thirteen, such user is not authorized to provide the Consortium with personally identifying information, and the Consortium will not use any such information in its database or other data collection activities. The Consortium appreciates cooperation with this federally mandated requirement. Users under the age of thirteen and their parents or guardians are cautioned that the collection of personal information volunteered by unauthorized children online or by e‑mail will be treated the same as information given by an adult until the Consortium becomes aware that the user is under the age of thirteen and such information may be subject to public access.</p> <h3>Server Log Information the University Gathers</h3> <p>Consortium Web servers generate logs that may contain information about computers or devices used to access the Consortium Web, or about general activity on the Consortium Web, such as the following: </p> <ul> <li>Internet address of computer or device</li> <li>Type of browser or other client application used</li> <li>The operating system of the computer or device</li> <li>Web pages requested</li> <li>Referring Web pages</li> <li>Time spent on the site</li> </ul> <p>The Consortium Web server administrators may produce summary reports from these logs and share that information with Consortium Web content managers. Consortium Web content managers typically use this information in aggregate to understand what pages are popular, how users are navigating to and within their site, and when their sites are used most frequently. The Consortium strongly discourages the inclusion in server logs of information that could identify individuals. The above Rule on Sharing of Information and the Exceptions to Rule detail when such associations occur.</p> <h3>Cookies and Login Security</h3> <p>Cookies are small pieces of data stored by a Web browser on a user’s computer. Cookies are often used to retain information about preferences and pages a user has visited. For example, when a user visits some sites on the Web, one might see a “Welcome Back” message. The ﬁrst time one visited the site a cookie was probably stored on the user’s computer; when the user returns, the cookie is read again. One can refuse to accept cookies, one can disable cookies, and one can remove cookies from one’s hard drive.</p> <p>Some sites require the use of cookies in order to access the site, such as Consortium Web sites requiring Big Ten Academic Alliance credentialed authentication. Consortium Web servers sometimes use cookies with Web sites that require Consortium community members, such as students, staﬀ and faculty, to log in with their own member university provided NetID and password. Consortium community members are normally required to enter their respective NetID and password when a member requests data about himself/herself or to ensure that the person is a member of the Consortium community. These cookies are used to avoid duplicate entry of user names and passwords to access various parts of the Consortium Web site. The Consortium Web administrators are expected to to handle the login process through a secure connection, so the user name and password are encrypted between the Consortium Web browser and the Consortium Web server.</p> <h3>Transactional Versus Permanent Cookies</h3> <p>Since it the Consortium is hosted by the University of Illinois, itis committed to fully complying with the State Agency Web Site Act (Public Act 093‑117) which becomes eﬀective January 1, 2004. Consequently, Consortium Web sites may use transactional cookies that facilitate business transactions and may not use permanent cookies or any other invasive tracking programs that monitor and track Consortium Web site viewing habits unless:</p> <ol> <li>the use of permanent cookies adds value to the user otherwise not available;</li> <li>there is a comprehensive online statement at the particular Consortium Web site where such permanent cookies or other invasive monitoring and tracking programs are utilized that discloses: <ol> <li>all types of information collected at that site;</li> <li>the Consortium's use of that information; and</li> <li>how the collection and use of this information adds value to the user; and</li> </ol> </li> <li>there is a link to this comprehensive Web Privacy Notice from that particular Big Ten Academic Alliance Web site where such permanent cookies or other invasive monitoring and tracking programs are utilized.</li> </ol> <p>The Consortium follows the policy of the University of Illinois on Permanent Cookies. <br> <br> The University Policy on Permanent Cookies can be found at <a href="https://www.vpaa.uillinois.edu/resources/cookies">https://www.vpaa.uillinois.edu/resources/cookies</a>.</p> <h3>Social Security Numbers</h3> <p>The Consortium follows the policies of the University of Illinois for Social Security Number. The policy for the proper procedures in collecting, maintaining and disseminating social security numbers of students, employees and individuals can be found online at the following locations:</p> <p><a href="http://www.ssn.uillinois.edu/">http://www.ssn.uillinois.edu</a><br> <a href="http://www.obfs.uillinois.edu/bfpp/section-19-business-systems-access-security/social-security-numbers/">http://www.obfs.uillinois.edu/bfpp/section-19</a></p> <h3>FERPA</h3> <p>The Consortium also complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which generally prohibits the release of student education records without student permission. The Consortium follows the University of Illinois Urbana campus policy For more details on FERPA, see the explanation at:</p> <p>Urbana: <a href="https://registrar.illinois.edu/ferpa">https://registrar.illinois.edu/ferpa</a></p> <p>However, FERPA does permit the release of public or “directory” information about students. Information about suppressing the release of “directory” information can be obtained at:</p> <p>Urbana: <a href="http://studentcode.illinois.edu/article3_part6_3-601.html">http://studentcode.illinois.edu/article3_part6_3-601.htm</a></p> <h2>Consortium Privacy Notice for certain persons in the European Economic Area (“EEA”).</h2> <h3>1.
