At the Sawyer School of Management, we are committed to protecting your privacy. You can travel through most of our site without giving us any information about yourself. But sometimes we do need information to provide services that you request, and this statement of privacy explains data collection and use in those situations. Please read the complete sawyer.suffolk.edu privacy statement.

Collecting your Personal Information
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are asked to register before entering a secure site, ordering e-mail newsletters, or when joining a limited-access premium site. Personal information collected by sawyer.suffolk.edu often is limited to e-mail address, country or location, but may include other information when needed to provide a service you requested.

Use of your Personal Information
We use your personal information for four primary purposes:

  • To make the site easier for you to use by designing it with your feedback in mind.
  • To help us create and deliver content most relevant to you.
  • To alert you to program upgrades, updated information and other new services from the Sawyer School of Management.

The Sawyer School of Management will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the Sawyer School of Management or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of the Sawyer School of Management and its family of Web sites, and, (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Sawyer School of Management, its Web sites, or the public.

Security of your Personal Information
sawyer.suffolk.edu strictly protects the security of your personal information and honors your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Your personal information is never shared outside the organization without your permission, except under conditions explained above. Your information may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country where the Sawyer School of Management, affiliates or agents are located.

Protection of Children’s Personal Information
The sawyer.suffolk.edu does not publish content that is targeted to children.

Use of Cookies
To ensure we are publishing content customers need and want, sawyer.suffolk.edu collects aggregated site-visitation statistics using cookies. We do not track individuals' use of the site.

When someone visits the site, a cookie is placed on the customer’s machine (if the customer accepts cookies) or is read if the customer has visited the site previously. This technology tells us how many visitors clicked on key elements (such as links or graphics) on a sawyer.suffolk.edu Web page. We do not use this technology to access your personally identifiable information; it is a tool we use to compile aggregated statistics about sawyer.suffolk.edu Web site usage.

Changes to this Statement
sawyer.suffolk.edu will occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the "last updated" date at the top of the privacy statement. For material changes to this Statement, sawyer.suffolk.edu will notify you by placing prominent notice on the Web site.

The Sawyer School of Management welcomes your comments regarding this Statement of Privacy, please contact us by e-mail, or postal mail.
