You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. Periodically, we may ask you to confirm the accuracy of your information to avoid disruption of services. What Do We Use Your Information For? We use your IP address to help provide more relevant service to you and to administer our website by identifying (1) which parts of our site are most heavily used and (2) which portion of our audience comes from within the AAU network.

This means that user sessions will be tracked, but the users will remain anonymous.

In addition, visitor activity is tracked using Google Analytics. Google Analytics is subject to the privacy policy of Google, Inc., which you can find on Google’s website. These data are used to optimize our website for our visitors and do not include personally identifiable information such as name, contact information, or credit card numbers. All personally identifiable information provided by alumni is strictly reserved for use by individual alumni and Alumni Affairs & Development (AA&D) for personal and University-related purposes only.
