This Statement of Privacy applies to the “WNMU.EDU” and “Western New Mexico University,” hereafter referred to as WNMU and governs data collection and usage.

 

By using the WNMU website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

WNMU may collect personally identifiable information, such as your name and contact information for the express purposes in which information is submitted (i.e., information regarding education programs and admissions purposes). WNMU may also gather additional personal or non-personal information in the future.

 

Information about your computer hardware and software may be automatically collected by WNMU. This information may include: Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses. This information is used for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the WNMU website and all associated pages under the .EDU domain.

 

WNMU encourages the review of privacy statements associated with websites you choose to link to from WNMU so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. WNMU is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the WNMU domain.

WNMU collects and uses your personal information to operate its website(s) and to deliver the services you have requested.

 

WNMU may also use your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from WNMU for the express purposes of education services. WNMU may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

 

WNMU will never sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.

 

WNMU may share data with trusted partners to help perform statistical analysis, send you email or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to WNMU and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of all information.

 

WNMU may keep track of the websites and pages our users visit within the WNMU domain in order to determine what WNMU services are most popular/in-demand. This data is used to deliver customized content and advertising within WNMU to customers whose behavior indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

 

WNMU will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on WNMU or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of WNMU and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of WNMU associated websites or the public.

The WNMU website may use “cookies” to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

 

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize WNMU pages, or register with a WNMU webpage or services, a cookie helps WNMU to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same WNMU website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the WNMU features that you customized.

 

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the WNMU services or websites you visit.

WNMU secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.

WNMU or its affiliates do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of thirteen. If you are under the age of thirteen, you must ask your parent or guardian for permission to use this website.

We respect your privacy and give you an opportunity to opt-out of receiving announcements of certain information. Users may opt-out of receiving any or all communications from WNMU by contacting us here:
