Privacy Policy

Your privacy is very important to us. California State University, East Bay Continuing Education is committed to protecting your online privacy while providing you with the most useful and enjoyable Web experience possible.

We do not share your personal data with any entity outside of Cal State East Bay. We do not and will never sell, rent, or share your name, mailing address, email address, or any other data that can personally identify you in any way to any outside group.

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

You can visit Cal State East Bay (CSUEB) Continuing Education to read information about our school, courses, and services without telling us who you are and without revealing any personal information. We also collect personal information from our users voluntarily at several different points on our Web site, including:

Online Course Registration

When you register for a course using our online registration system, we collect information from you such as your name, date of birth, postal and email address, phone number, and other information necessary to enroll you in the course(s). Although social security number also is requested, under California law you are not obligated to provide this to us. All information collected on our registration portal is secured during transmission using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. The information you provide will be stored in our registration system as part of your official student record. Unless you request otherwise, the email address you provide during registration may be used to notify you about your registration status and upcoming courses of interest.

Email Communications

If you wish to subscribe to our email communications, we ask for contact information such as name and email address. CSUEB Continuing Education uses the information provided to fulfill your request for information and, in some cases, personalize the email content for you. All emails that you have requested will have an option to unsubscribe and unsubscribe requests will be processed within minutes.

Information Requests

Our site's information request forms require your name and email address as well as additional information to help us determine your needs. We use this information to contact you about your request. Unless you have elected otherwise, the email address you provide on an information request form will be added to our opt-in emailing list.

Surveys

From time-to-time, our site may request information from you via surveys. Participation in these surveys is completely voluntary, so you have a choice whether or not to disclose the information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and email address) and demographic information (such as zip code, occupation).

Special Offers

To take advantage of promotional offers (e.g. free white paper) available on this site, you may be asked to complete a registration form requiring your name, email address, and other demographic information. Participation in these special offers is completely voluntary; however, you may not be able to take advantage of the offer without providing the required information. Unless you have elected otherwise, the email address you provide on a special offer registration form will  be added to our opt-in newsletter / emailing list.

Links

We use email links on this site to allow you to contact us directly with any questions or comments that you may have. We read every message sent in and try to reply promptly. We use the information collected to respond directly to your questions or comments.

As a convenience to you, we sometimes provide links to other Web sites. These sites are not under the control of CSUEB Continuing Education; and the fact that we provide such links is not an indication that CSUEB Continuing Education endorses or is liable for those sites, their content, or their privacy practices. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every Web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by CSUEB Continuing Education.

Visitor Behavior/Log Files

We contract with several online partners to help manage and optimize our Internet business and communications.

By supplementing our records, this information helps us learn things like what pages are most attractive to our visitors, which of our products most interest our customers, and what kinds of offers our customers like to see. Although Google  logs the information coming from our site on our behalf, we control how that data may and may not be used. If you do not want to help us learn how to improve our site, products, offers, and marketing strategy, you can learn more about Google's Privacy and Terms, including how you can control the information sent to Google.
