This website domain, wagner.edu, is owned by and is the responsibility of Wagner College. The following policies apply to wagner.edu and all other web sites/pages owned and operated by Wagner College. The use of College web sites is governed by the College’s Web Policy.
The privacy of visitors to our web sites is very important to Wagner College. The College has adopted this policy to inform visitors about the College's data collection practices — both when a visitor voluntarily enters and transmits information to the College and when data are collected automatically by systems used by the College.
Links to this notice are available on the opening screen of the College’s web site as well as in the site index, and on pages where personally identifiable information is collected or requested, such as on the Admissions and Alumni Fund Web pages.
Wagner collects personally identifiable information at various points on College web sites/pages. Personally identifiable information (PII) are data which contain personal information that can be associated with or traced back to an individual web site/page visitor. This includes, for instance, a visitor's name, address, and phone number. If applicable, PII also includes a credit card number and expiration date.
Information that is not PII is often referred to as "aggregate information." This includes a user's Internet Protocol (IP) address, web site/page traffic and other statistics, and demographic data. Most aggregate information is collected automatically.
Wagner College automatically collects and/or tracks the following information from visitors or individuals who communicate with College community users via e-mail:
Wagner College may place Internet "cookies" on a visitor's computer. Cookies are files inserted automatically on the hard drive of a web site visitor by the web site visited. Cookies placed by the College generally do not contain PII. However, the College reserves the right to associate PII with cookies at any time.
Most browser software allows users to make choices on how cookies are set by web sites. This includes the ability to disable cookies. User preferences also allow for the user to be notified when the web site/page attempts to set a cookie. Setting a browser to disable cookies, however, may restrict a visitor's ability to interact with some or all information available on College web sites/pages.
Information collected by Wagner College "PII and/or aggregate data" may be used by Wagner College for:
This policy provides a baseline standard; departmental privacy policies may enforce standards that are more rigorous. The College also adheres to legal requirements prescribed by relevant statutes, such as the (FERPA) Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 — a copy of FERPA is found in the College Undergraduate Bulletin.
Wagner College occasionally retains the services of third parties to process information, financial transactions, or other purposes approved by members of Wagner's senior management. The College may also, on a very limited basis, share, rent, sell, or otherwise discloses PII to carefully screened third parties. The College will not disclose to third parties any PII collected by Wagner if the third party fails to meet and maintain the College's electronic privacy policies.
Before providing PII to a third party, Wagner College will obtain a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement from the third party. Aggregate information and/or information that is publicly available is not subject to such agreements.
To restrict unauthorized access and to enhance data integrity and accuracy, Wagner College implements physical, electronic, and administrative security policies and procedures intended to safeguard information the College collects and/or stores online. However, the College cannot assure or warrant absolute effectiveness of the security measures implemented by the College.
In most cases, Wagner College neither collects nor attempts to collect PII from children known to be under the age of thirteen (13). However, Wagner College cannot always determine if a visitor is a child. In general, the subject matter provided on the College's web site(s) is not directed toward children under the age of thirteen (13).
Wagner College reserves the right to contact web site visitors for legitimate purposes relevant to College transactions, surveys, statistical purposes, and/or other reasons approved by the College's administration. Such contact, if any, will be minimal and will be consistent with Wagner's business practices and/or academic mission.
Wagner College reserves the right to change this policy at any time. Visitors will not be notified of any changes made to this policy. The version of this policy in effect will be posted on our web site. Changes to the College's Web Site Privacy Policy are effective upon posting to this web site address.
