The Strafford Institute respects the privacy of those who visit its website, register interest in its programs, subscribe to its communications, submit inquiries, or otherwise correspond with the Institute.
The Institute may collect information voluntarily provided by users, including names, email addresses, institutional affiliations, class years, program interests, written responses, and other information submitted through forms or correspondence. The Institute may also receive ordinary technical information associated with use of the website, such as browser type, device information, pages visited, and approximate time of access.
The Institute uses this information to respond to inquiries, manage registrations of interest, communicate about programs and publications, consider applications or submissions, review support inquiries, maintain institutional records, and improve the website and its public work.
The Institute does not sell personal information. It may share information with service providers who assist with website hosting, forms, email communications, registration management, analytics, or other ordinary operations. It may also disclose information when required by law, necessary to protect the Institute's rights or operations, or appropriate in connection with institutional governance.
The Institute retains information for as long as it remains useful for the purposes for which it was collected, including continuing institutional records, future correspondence, program administration, and publication or submission review. A person may request correction by contacting the Institute. Every mailing-list message will provide a private link by which the recipient may withdraw consent. The Institute may retain a limited record of that withdrawal so that the request can be honored.
The Institute takes reasonable measures to protect the information it receives. No website, form, email system, or digital service can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure.
The website may contain links to external sites. The Institute is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or policies of those external sites.
The Institute does not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen.
