We use Your Personal Data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, You agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We will retain and use Your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if We are required to retain Your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.
Where possible, We apply shorter retention periods and/or reduce identifiability by deleting, aggregating, or anonymizing data. Unless otherwise stated, the retention periods below are maximum periods (“up to”) and We may delete or anonymize data sooner when it is no longer needed for the relevant purpose. We apply different retention periods to different categories of Personal Data based on the purpose of processing and legal obligations:

We may retain Personal Data beyond the periods stated above for different reasons:
You may request information about how long We will retain Your Personal Data by contacting Us.
When retention periods expire, We securely delete or anonymize Personal Data according to the following procedures:
Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at the Company’s operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. It means that this information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of Your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those from Your jurisdiction.
Where required by applicable law, We will ensure that international transfers of Your Personal Data are subject to appropriate safeguards and supplementary measures where appropriate. The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of Your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of Your data and other personal information.

Please note, however, that We may need to retain certain information when we have a legal obligation or lawful basis to do so.

Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to disclose Your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).
The Company may disclose Your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While We strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect Your Personal Data, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Campus traffic segmentation. We use Your IP address to classify each visit as “internal” (originating from a University campus network) or “external” (all other visitors), and We attach that classification to Our analytics data. We use it to separate on-campus use of the Website by current students and employees from visits by prospective students and the public, so that Our reporting is accurate and Our advertising audiences are built from external traffic rather than from the campus community.
We use a recruitment analytics Service Provider to understand how prospective students engage with Our Website and Our recruiting communications, and to personalize Our outreach.

When We disclose Personal Information for a business purpose or a commercial purpose, We enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.
We may share, and have shared in the last twelve (12) months, Your personal information identified in the above categories with the following categories of third parties:
As defined in the CCPA/CPRA, “sell” and “sale” mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a Consumer’s personal information by the Business to a third party for valuable consideration. This means that We may have received some kind of benefit in return for sharing personal information, but not necessarily a monetary benefit.
We do not “sell” or “share” information as most people would commonly understand these terms – meaning We do not, and will not, disclose Your Personal Information in direct exchange for money or some other form of payment.
We allow Our Service Providers to use Your personal information for the business purposes described in Our Privacy Policy, for activities such as advertising, marketing, and analytics, and these may be deemed a “sale” under CCPA/CPRA. For example, when We promote Our Service, We use Service Providers that market Our Service online, measure the marketing efforts, identify users that are interested in Our Service, etc. This is done by placing tracking technologies on our website such as cookies, tags, pixels, or similar, and by placing these technologies, online identifiers and online behavior information is shared with such vendors, including for “cross-context behavioral advertising”. Under the CCPA, these practices are defined as “sharing” or “selling” Personal Information.
We may disclose or may have disclosed in the last twelve (12) months the following categories in a manner that may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” as defined in CCPA/CPRA:
Please note that the categories listed above are those defined in the CCPA/CPRA. This does not mean that all examples of that category of personal information were in fact sold, but reflects our good faith belief to the best of Our knowledge that some of that information from the applicable category may be and may have been shared for value in return.
We retain California residents’ Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy (including the purposes disclosed in this CCPA/CPRA notice), taking into account: (i) how long we need the information to provide and maintain the Service and Your Account; (ii) whether You have requested deletion (subject to applicable exceptions); (iii) Our legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations; (iv) security, fraud prevention, and abuse monitoring needs; and (v) the time periods needed to resolve disputes and enforce Our agreements.
Specific retention periods for major data categories are described in the “Retention of Your Personal Information” section of Our Privacy Policy, and We may retain certain information longer where required or permitted by law (for example, to comply with recordkeeping obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims).
We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 16 through our Service, although certain third party websites that we link to may do so. These third-party websites have their own terms of use and privacy policies and We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children’s Internet usage and instruct their children to never provide information on other websites without their permission.
We do not sell the Personal Information of Consumers We actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless We receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from the parent or guardian of a Consumer less than 16 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to the sale of personal information may opt-out of future sales at any time. To exercise the right to opt-out, You (or Your authorized representative) may submit a request to Us by contacting Us.
If You have reason to believe that a child under the age of 16 has provided Us with personal information, please contact Us with sufficient detail to enable Us to delete that information.
The CCPA/CPRA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. If You are a resident of California, You have the following rights:
Please see the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” section and “Limit the Use or Disclosure of My Sensitive Personal Information” section for more information on how to opt out and limit the use of sensitive information collected.
Additionally, in order to exercise any of Your rights under the CCPA/CPRA, and if You are a California resident, You can contact Us:
Only You, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that You authorize to act on Your behalf, may make a verifiable request related to Your personal information.
Your request to Us must:
We cannot respond to Your request or provide You with the required information if We cannot:
We will disclose and deliver the required information free of charge within 45 days of receiving Your verifiable request. The time period to provide the required information may be extended once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary and with prior notice.
Any disclosures We provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable request’s receipt.
For data portability requests, We will select a format to provide Your personal information that is readily usable and should allow You to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
As defined in the CCPA/CPRA, “sell” and “sale” mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a Consumer’s personal information by the Business to a third party for valuable consideration. This means that We may have received some kind of benefit in return for sharing personal information, but not necessarily a monetary benefit.
You have the right to opt-out of the “sale” of Your personal information. Once We receive and confirm a verifiable consumer request from You, We will stop “selling” Your Personal Information. To exercise Your right to opt-out, please contact Us or follow the below instructions.
The Service Providers we partner with (for example, our analytics or advertising partners) may use technology on the Service that sells personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA law. If You wish to opt out of the use of Your Personal Information for interest-based advertising purposes and these potential sales as defined under CCPA/CPRA law, You may do so by following the instructions below.
Please note that any opt out is specific to the browser You use. You may need to opt out on every browser that You use.
Click the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of the Service to review Your privacy preferences and opt out of cookies and other technologies that We may use. Please note that You will need to opt out from each browser that You use to access the Service.
Additionally, You can opt out of receiving ads that are personalized as served by our Service Providers by following our instructions presented on the Service:
The opt-out will place a cookie on Your computer that is unique to the browser You use to opt out. If you change browsers or delete the cookies saved by Your browser, You will need to opt out again.
Your mobile device may give You the ability to opt out of the use of information about the apps You use in order to serve You ads that are targeted to Your interests:
You can also stop the collection of location information from Your mobile device by changing the preferences on Your mobile device.
Where required by applicable law, We treat opt-out preference signals — such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal — as a valid request to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information and of targeted advertising for the browser or device transmitting the signal. You can learn more about GPC and how to enable it in Your browser at https://globalprivacycontrol.org. Do Not Track (DNT) is a different signal; see the “Do Not Track” section of this Privacy Policy for how We handle DNT.
If You are a California resident, You have the right to limit the use and disclosure of Your sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer who requests such services or goods.
We collect, use and disclose sensitive personal information in ways that are necessary to provide the Service. For more information on how We use Your personal information, please see the “Use of Your Personal Information” section or contact us.
To submit a request to limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information, please contact Us using the methods listed in the “Contact Us” section of Our Privacy Policy.
Our Service does not respond to Do Not Track signals. Do Not Track is distinct from the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which is addressed in the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” section of this Privacy Policy.
However, some third-party websites do keep track of Your browsing activities. If You are visiting such websites, You can set Your preferences in Your web browser to inform websites that You do not want to be tracked. You can enable or disable DNT by visiting the preferences or settings page of Your web browser.

If you’d like to request more information under the California Shine the Light law, and if You are a California resident, You can contact Us using the contact information provided below.
California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 allows California residents under the age of 18 who are registered users of online sites, services or applications to request and obtain removal of content or information they have publicly posted.
To request removal of such data, and if You are a California resident, You can contact Us using the contact information provided below, and include the email address associated with Your Account.
Be aware that Your request does not guarantee complete or comprehensive removal of content or information posted online and that the law may not permit or require removal in certain circumstances.
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, please contact Us.

This Cookies Policy explains what Cookies are and how We use them. You should read this policy so You can understand what type of cookies We use, or the information We collect using Cookies and how that information is used.
Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that We store about You may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from Cookies. For further information on how We use, store and keep your personal data secure — including the specific analytics, advertising, and recruitment partners We work with — please see our Privacy Policy.
We do not store sensitive personal information, such as mailing addresses, account passwords, etc. in the Cookies We use.
The words whose initial letters are capitalized have meanings defined under the following conditions. The following definitions shall have the same meaning regardless of whether they appear in singular or in plural.
For the purposes of this Cookies Policy:
Cookies can be “Persistent” or “Session” Cookies. Persistent Cookies remain on your personal computer or mobile device when You go offline, while Session Cookies are deleted as soon as You close your web browser.
We use Cookiebot by Usercentrics as Our consent management platform. When You first visit the Website, a cookie banner asks You to accept or decline non-essential Cookies by category: Preferences, Statistics, and Marketing. Non-essential Cookies are set only after You give consent for the relevant category. Strictly necessary Cookies are used to provide the Website and cannot be switched off in our systems. You can change or withdraw Your consent at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of the Website.
We use both session and persistent Cookies for the purposes set out below:
Administered by: Us
Purpose: These Cookies are essential to provide You with services available through the Website and to enable You to use some of its features. They help to authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts. Without these Cookies, the services that You have asked for cannot be provided, and We only use these Cookies to provide You with those services.
Administered by: Us
Purpose: These Cookies (or similar technologies) store your cookie preferences/consent choices.
Administered by: Us
Purpose: These Cookies allow Us to remember choices You make when You use the Website, such as remembering your login details or language preference. The purpose of these Cookies is to provide You with a more personal experience and to avoid You having to re-enter your preferences every time You use the Website. These correspond to the “Preferences” category in Our cookie banner.
Administered by: Third Parties
Purpose: These Cookies are used to track information about traffic to the Website and how users use the Website. The information gathered via these Cookies may directly or indirectly identify you as an individual visitor. This is because the information collected is typically linked to a pseudonymous identifier associated with the device you use to access the Website. We may also use these Cookies to test new pages, features or functionality of the Website to see how our users react to them. These correspond to the “Statistics” category in Our cookie banner and include tools that help Us understand how visitors move through and interact with pages (session replay). After You accept Statistics Cookies, We also set two first-party Cookies of Our own (acu_mf_recorded and acu_mf_session) whose only purpose is to limit session recording to your first visit.
Administered by: Third Parties
Purpose: These Cookies track your browsing habits to enable Us to show advertising which is more likely to be of interest to You. These Cookies use information about your browsing history to group You with other users who have similar interests. Based on that information, and with Our permission, third party advertisers can place Cookies to enable them to show adverts which We think will be relevant to your interests while You are on third party websites. These correspond to the “Marketing” category in Our cookie banner. The specific advertising partners We work with are listed in the “Behavioral Remarketing” section of Our Privacy Policy.
Administered by: Third Parties
Purpose: Some pages of the Website may embed content hosted by third-party platforms, such as videos or social media posts and feeds from services like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), or LinkedIn. When You visit a page containing embedded content, the hosting platform may set Cookies on your Device. We do not control these Cookies. Please refer to the relevant platform’s privacy policy for information about their cookies.
The list below is generated automatically by Our consent platform from a regular scan of the Website, and shows each Cookie’s name, provider, purpose, and expiration.
The easiest way to manage Cookies on the Website is the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer, which reopens Our consent banner and lets You change or withdraw Your consent by category at any time. Where required by applicable law, We also treat opt-out preference signals — such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal — as a valid request to opt out of Cookies used for targeted advertising.
You can also disable or delete Cookies in your browser. If You prefer to avoid the use of Cookies on the Website entirely, first disable the use of Cookies in your browser and then delete the Cookies saved in your browser associated with the Website. You may use this option for preventing the use of Cookies at any time.
If You do not accept Our Cookies, You may experience some inconvenience in your use of the Website and some features may not function properly.
If You’d like to delete Cookies or instruct your web browser to delete or refuse Cookies, please visit the help pages of your web browser.
For any other web browser, please visit your web browser’s official web pages.
We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates when it was last revised.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest possible audience, regardless of ability. To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 (WCAG 2.2) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more. This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs. Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments. If you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the following email [email protected]
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements:
We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility following technological advancements. If you wish to contact the website’s owner, please use the following email [email protected]
