does not collect personal information about visitors. However, we do use
a "cookie" to identify new vs. repeat visitors to our
site. This cookie only creates a self-generated identification
string and does not collect or send any personal information beyond what
is normally found it the server logs (see below).
Personal information that you provide via e-mail or through other online
means will be used only for purposes necessary to serve your needs, such
as responding to an inquiry or other request for information. This may
involve redirecting your inquiry or comment to another person or
department better suited to meeting your needs.
We do, as nearly all sites, use server logs to collect
information concerning your Internet connection and general information
about your visit to our Web site. This information may be used to
analyze trends; to create summary statistics for the purpose of
determining technical design specifications; and to identify system
performance or problem areas.
This means we sometimes acquire, record and analyze portions of the data
that is entered into, stored on, and/or transmitted through this site by
you. This information is only released -- when legally required -- to
help law enforcement investigations, legal proceedings or internal
investigations of TAMU rule and regulation violations. These groups
would use the information to track the electronic interactions back to
the source computer(s) or account(s).
Some web pages at Texas A&M University may collect personal
information about visitors and use that information for purposes other
than those stated above. Each web page that collects information will
have a separate privacy statement that will tell you how that
information is used.
