Thank you for visiting the AUCD Diversity & Inclusion Toolkit website and reviewing our privacy policy.

Some of our web pages, such as the 'Submit Your Story' page, allow you to submit personal information (e.g., first and last name, email address, and phone). Our policy is simple: We do not give, share, sell, or transfer any personal information to a third party.

If you want to know more about how we record personal and non-personal information about your visit or how we use information that you voluntarily submit, read on.

Non-personal Information We Record

If you do nothing during your visit but browse through the website, read pages, or download information, our website's operating system will automatically record some general information about your visit.

During your visit, our web operating system will record:

1. The Internet domain for your Internet service, such as 'xcompany.com" or "xcompany.net' if you use a private Internet access account, or 'yourschool.edu' if you connect from a college or university domain.
2. The type of browser (such as 'Google Chrome version X' or 'Internet Explorer version X') that you are using.
3. The type of operating system that you use (such as Macintosh, Unix, or Windows).
4. The date and time you visit our site, and the web pages that you visit on our site.
5. The address of the previous website you were visiting, if you linked to us from another website.

We use this information for statistical analysis, to help us make our site more useful to visitors. This tracking system does not record information about individuals.

Cookies

The Office of Management and Budget Memo M-10-22, Guidance for Online Use of Web Measurement and Customization Technologies [PDF, 106KB] allows Federal agencies to use session and persistent cookies.

When you visit any website, its server may generate a piece of text known as a "cookie" to place on your computer. Placing cookie text allows websites to "remember" visitors' preferences, surfing patterns and behavior while they are connected.

The cookie makes it easier for you to use the dynamic features of Web pages. Cookies from ImplementDiversity.tools web pages only collect information about your browser's visit to the site; they do not collect any personal information about you.

There are two types of cookies, single session (temporary), and multi-session (persistent). Session cookies last only as long as your Web browser is open. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears. Persistent cookies are stored on your computer for longer periods.

Session Cookies: We use session cookies for technical purposes such as to enable better navigation through our site. These cookies let our server know that you are continuing a visit to our site.

Persistent Cookies: We use persistent cookies to enable Google's Universal Analytics to differentiate between new and returning visitors to our site.

If you do not wish to have session or persistent cookies stored on your machine, you can opt out or disable cookies in your browser. You will still have access to all information and resources at website. Be aware that disabling cookies in your browser will affect cookie usage at all other websites you visit as well.

ImplementDiversity.tools uses a third-party analytics provider (Google's Universal Analytics) to analyze the data collected through the session and persistent metrics cookies. The third-party analytics provider does not receive personally identifiable information through these cookies and does not combine, match, or cross-reference ImplementDiversity.tools information with any other information.

Information from E-mail You Send to Us

If you decide to send us an electronic mail message (e-mail), the message will usually contain your return e-mail address. If you include personally-identifying information in your e-mail because you want us to address issues specific to your situation, we may use that information in responding to your request. In other limited circumstances, including requests from Congress or limited other parties, we may be required by law to disclose information that you submit.

Also, e-mail is not necessarily secure against interception. Please send only information necessary to help us process your request.

Information Collected from Submission Forms

On some of our web pages we offer interactive forms that let you voluntarily submit personal information (such as your e-mail address, phone, and name). This occurs when you are submitting your story. In those cases, all submitted information is used only for the expressed purposes for which it is intended and is not made available to any third party.
