SU Privacy Statement

COMMITMENT TO PRIVACY

Southern University and A & M College System is committed to maintaining the privacy and security of any collected confidential or highly sensitive personal information. This policy has been adopted to address the collection, use, and dissemination of personal information by SU. This policy is subject to change over time, as the technologies utilized to provide services via the Internet continue to develop and evolve. Despite changes in technology, any alterations to this policy will not affect the Southern University’s commitment to privacy.

GENERAL STATEMENT

This policy applies to all information digitally collected by or submitted to SU. SU receives information via two primary methods:

  • Information collected automatically via websites
  • Information voluntarily provided by the user in order to receive information and/or services (via web forms and email).

 

DATA SECURITY

SU implements stringent security measures wherever possible to promote confidentiality, integrity, and availability of any information in the possession of SU. SU websites that allow users to submit information voluntarily utilize encryption to prevent third-parties from viewing the submitted data. Personal information voluntarily submitted via email cannot leverage encryption in most cases, and thus email is not a mechanism that SU will recommend for submitting confidential and/or personal data. Users that submit unsolicited confidential and/or personal information via email must do so at their own risk.

While the security of user data is of the utmost importance to SU, due to the nature of Internet communications, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Any information transmitted to SU by the user is done so at the user’s own risk. Once the information is received by SU, the University will make every effort to ensure the security of data on SU’s systems.
