Protecting Information that Marketplace Collects

Protecting the privacy and personal data of our customers is of the utmost importance to the University. The University will never sell or rent your personal information. If you choose to identify yourself by making a purchase on-line, the University will create or collect some or all of the following personal information: unique customer ID, name, e-mail address, phone number, billing information, shipping information, and the store in which you were shopping. Credit card information is not stored by the University, but rather is collected, transmitted, and processed by Touchnet Information Systems, a Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliant 3rd party service provider, using industry standard 128 bit encryption.

Each storefront operator within Marketplace may exercise the option to request additional information to facilitate the completion of your order, to provide discounts, or for other relevant business purposes. Such information is provided voluntarily by you during the checkout process.

The University will use your personal information only for the purpose for which it is submitted, that is to process billing and shipment of merchandise, reply to your emails, handle your complaints and related matters.

Because of the limited manner in which we collect and use information, access to the site constitutes agreement to our privacy policy, which may be changed from time to time without notice.
