Our Commitment To Privacy
Your privacy is important to us. To better protect your privacy we provide
this notice explaining our online information practices and the choices
you can make about the way your information is collected and used. To
make this notice easy to find, we make it available on our homepage
and at every point where personally identifiable information may be
requested.
The Information
We Collect:
This notice applies to all information collected or submitted on the
USC Urban Initiative website. On some pages, you can order products,
make requests, and register to receive materials. The types of personal
information collected at these pages are:
Name
Address
Email address
Phone number
(etc.)
On some pages, you can submit information about other people. For example,
if you recommend a colleague for services, you will need to submit the
recipient's address. In this circumstance, the types of personal information
collected are:
Name
Address
Phone Number
(etc.)
The Way We Use
Information:
We use the information you provide about yourself when placing an order
only to complete that order. We do not share this information with outside
parties except to the extent necessary to complete that order.
We use return email addresses to answer the email we receive. Such addresses
are not used for any other purpose and are not shared with outside parties.
We use non-identifying
and aggregate information to better design our website and to share
with advertisers. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number
of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number
of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we
would not disclose anything that could be used to identify those individuals.
Finally, we never
use or share the personally identifiable information provided to us
online in ways unrelated to the ones described above without also providing
you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.
Our Commitment
To Data Security
To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the
correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical,
electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information
we collect online.
Our Commitment
To Children's Privacy:
Protecting the privacy of the very young is especially important. For
that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website
from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our website
is structured to attract anyone under 13.
How You Can Access
Or Correct Your Information
You can access all your personally identifiable information that we
collect online and maintain by contacting us directly via phone or e-mail.
We use this procedure to better safeguard your information.
You can correct
factual errors in your personally identifiable information by sending
us a request that credibly shows error.
To protect your
privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your
identity before granting access or making corrections.
