Security & Disclosure of Information

In cases where personal information is voluntarily submitted, UST-EHS 78 will take reasonable steps to protect any personal information you choose to share with the website administrators in a controlled, secure environment. Web forms that request personal and/or sensitive information such as credit card details are built with a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) which enables the secure encrypted transmission of this data.

Any personal information that you provide online will be secured in a password-protected database and will only be accessible to authorized UST-EHS 78 website administrators unless specifically otherwise stated (for example, in the case of the alumni directory).
Personal information voluntarily submitted through the UST-EHS 78 is only shared with authorized UST-EHS 78 alumni and website administrators and all such individuals must understand and adhere to the UST-EHS 78 website privacy policies.
UST-EHS 78 does not sell or rent any personal information obtained through our website with any other organization or business.

In such cases, only required information is provided and the contracted third-party must adhere to the UST-EHS 78’s privacy policy.
