Temple University, Japan Campus (TUJ) is committed to maintaining your privacy. We understand that your personal information may be sensitive in nature. To best serve you, it is necessary for us to collect certain information. We would like to inform you about what information we receive and how such information is used. We encourage you to read the following policy so that you fully understand how we manage your information as well as how we are committed to protecting your personal information.

OUR PRIVACY POLICY

By using this website, you acknowledge your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please refrain from using the TUJ website. You also grant TUJ and all other entities involved in operating this website the authority to receive, transmit, store, process, and otherwise use all information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We assure you that TUJ will not sell, trade, rent, share, disclose, or make available any personally identifiable data about you to any third party, except pursuant to this Policy or when the law requires or permits disclosure.

COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW

TUJ is committed to complying with all applicable law and will respect the legal requirements that exist regarding the privacy of personal information. TUJ uses only fair and lawful means to collect information. From time to time, TUJ reviews its policy for collecting, using, and disclosing personal information to ensure compliance with laws and regulations.

REQUEST FOR DELETION, MODIFICATION, OR ACCESS TO INFORMATION

If you would like TUJ to remove your name from our mailing lists, or delete personally identifiable information about you, TUJ will comply with your request. Please contact tujinfo@tuj.temple.edu.

INFORMATION GATHERED AND USED ON THE TUJ WEBSITE

We hope that you will want to provide us with personally identifiable information when you inquire about our institution and educational offerings or register for educational services or programs through this website. We may ask for personal information such as name, e-mail address, birth date, phone numbers, postal code, educational background, social security number, nationality, family information, and other personal data. Once you provide us with this information you are no longer anonymous to us. Upon receiving your personal information, we can then better assist you, provide you with services tailored to your individual needs, and give enhanced benefits that cannot be offered to anonymous users.

We may use your personal data to: (i) fulfill your request for information, materials, or documents; (ii) assist you, as applicable, with event registration, application, testing, or admission, including but not limited to processing payments, seeking ancillary information for verification purposes from third parties (such as references or past schools), and evaluating your request; (iii) contact you through direct mail, e-mail, telephone, or other means about your request, our courses (including the courses in which you enroll), our programs, our events, or other related matters; (iv) conduct research about your interests; (v) assess your use of our website, compile statistics and conduct internal operations; (vi) improve our website, products, and services; and (vii) comply with applicable law and lawful governmental requests. We may share your personal data with Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and its respective vendors, and we may permit authorized third parties to access, view, store, handle, or process your personal data. We will prescreen authorized vendors and take reasonable steps to ensure that they also keep your data confidential and not disclose it to unauthorized third parties except with your consent or as permitted by law. Upon request pursuant to our Privacy Policy, we will revise or delete your data from our records.

COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

As is true with most websites, TUJ gathers certain information automatically and stores it in log files. This information includes IP addresses, browser type and language, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. This information is anonymous data, so we will not know who you are unless you specifically tell us. This information assists us in diagnosing problems with our server, analyzing user trends and traffic patterns, improving website design and layout, and administering the website.

To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called "cookies" on your device. Most big websites do this, too. A cookie is a small text file that is transferred to your browser from a website's computers and stored on your computer or device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

Each website can send its own cookie to your browser if your browser's preferences allow it, but (to protect your privacy) your browser only permits a website to access the cookies it has already sent to you, not the cookies sent to you by other sites. TUJ uses cookies to estimate and report our total audience size and traffic, to conduct research to improve our content and services, to facilitate and measure the effectiveness of ads, to provide targeted ads through third-party vendors, and, in the event that you have provided personally identifiable information, to better understand your use of our site and assist you.

HOW TO CONTROL COOKIES

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish — for details, visit aboutcookies.org New Tab. You may delete all cookies on your computer already, and you may set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. But if you do, you might have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work.

Message Boards and Links

When using message boards and other online public discussion forums on the TUJ website, you should remember that other TUJ website users also utilize these areas and that TUJ cannot control said users. WHILE WE MAY MONITOR THESE PUBLIC FORUMS TO CONTROL INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT FROM BEING POSTED, WE CANNOT CONTROL THE PRIVACY OF INFORMATION DIVULGED BY YOU IN THESE FORUMS. IF YOU CHOOSE TO REVEAL PERSONAL OR CONTACT INFORMATION IN THESE PUBLIC FORUMS, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK. We may also provide links to other sites that we believe might be useful or educational for you. Please note that we are not responsible for the privacy policies or actions of those third parties operating these linked websites. We suggest that you access the online privacy policies of these websites or contact the relevant parties concerning their data collection policies.

Security Procedures

To protect the privacy of your personal information to the maximum degree, TUJ uses both external technical safeguards and strict internal policies. On the technical side, we employ Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology during any transmission of personally identifiable information. On the human side, only authorized TUJ employees are granted access to your personal information. Our employees are educated and aware of the sensitive nature of your personal information and may be subject to severe disciplinary action for any violation of our Privacy Policy. Also, whenever we hire other organizations to provide support services, TUJ will require them to conform to our strict privacy standards. While we cannot warrant the absolute security of your data against unauthorized intrusion, misuse, loss, or alteration, we periodically review and enhance our security measures as necessary.

Update Information

TUJ may update or change the content of this Privacy Policy at any time by posting revisions on this website so that you can always be aware of the information we collect and how it is used.
