Privacy Policy
The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for the Choate Rosemary Hall Web site (http://www.choate.edu/):
Information gathering
We may use your IP (Internet Protocol) address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Web site by identifying (1) which parts of our site are most heavily used, and (2) which portion of our audience comes from within the Choate network. We do not link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable. This means that user sessions may be tracked, but the users will remain anonymous. "Cookies", which are pieces of information that a Web site sends to your computer while you are viewing the Web site, are used by this site to allow users to customize the calendars they view. No identifiable information is exchanged.
The school occasionally monitors search terms that users enter into the Choate Search Engine, but this tracking is never associated with individual users.
Use of information
The school uses the information gathered above to tailor site content to user needs, and to generate aggregate statistical reports. At no time do we disclose site usage by individual IP addresses. Web server logs are retained on a temporary basis and then deleted completely from our systems.
We may request your e-mail address or mailing address on some of the forms contained on the site. Whenever we request the identity of a visitor, we will clearly indicate the purpose of the inquiry before the information is requested. Any personal information you share with us, including email or mailing addresses, is kept private. We maintain a strict "No-Spam" policy that means that we do not intend to sell, rent, or otherwise give your e-mail or mailing address to a third-party. In addition, Choate will not send you
e-mail that you have not agreed to receive.
Security
The Choate server has security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control.
