Privacy Statement

We respect your privacy. To ensure that every effort is taken to respect that privacy, we would like to tell you what information is collected and how it is managed.

When you visit the Code Maroon site:
If you visit our Web site to read or download information, we do not collect information about you personally. In particular, we do not use "cookies" to collect information. Our server does, however, automatically collect certain technical information about your Internet connection when you visit our Web site. None of this information permits identification of personal information for any individual. We use this information to monitor the popularity of the various features of the site for general reporting and management functions. This information can also be used to evaluate the accessibility of our Web site.

On pages where personal data (usernames, passwords, etc.) is entered and submitted, the information is transmitted over a Secure Socketed Layer (SSL) connection. SSL is the standard encryption protocol used by Web servers.

Logging in to several sites on campus is done through the TAMU Central Authorization System (CAS), which does place a non-persistant cookie on the user's browser. Authentication status is passed along from page to page by standard server-browser interaction and is used on each page to identify you as being authenticated. The nature of this information storage means that the authentication remains resident in the browser as long is it is left open.

We do use server logs to collect information concerning your Internet connection and general information about your visit to our Web site. We use log analysis tools to create summary statistics, which are used to determine technical design specifications and identify system performance or problem areas.

To help us ensure that this site is working and maintained properly, we do monitor certain telecommunications and automated information systems and also collect some information for analysis and statistical purposes. Sometimes this means we 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).

When you send us email with a question or comment:
Personal information that you provide in an email or submitted comment will be used only to respond to the purpose of your request. We may, however, redirect your email to another person or department if they are in a better position to answer your question. The information will not be shared with anyone outside Texas A&M unless we are compelled by law to do so.

If you have any questions about this privacy statement, the practices of this site, or your use of this Web site, please contact the Webmaster or through regular mail at:
