New Mexico Highlands University Privacy Policy

This privacy policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit or fill out a form on www.nmhu.edu (the “Site”).

PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.”

We collect device information using the following technologies:

– “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.

– “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
– “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.

Additionally when you post information through our site, you are sending us your name, address, email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “University Relations submission information.”

When we talk about “personal information” in this privacy policy, we are talking both about device information and University Relations submission information on forms.

HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We use the information that you provide through alumni update forms to update your alumni records. Additionally, if you opt into the alumni e-newsletter, we use this information to communicate with your about events in your area and alumni news.

We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our visitors browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).

Finally, we may also share your personal information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
