Please Accept Our Privacy Policy
Commitment Privacy Policy Overview
Thank you for visiting the
Indiana INTERNnet Web site (the "Site"). We are
committed to protecting your privacy and we voluntarily
provide this privacy statement in support of this commitment.
Indiana INTERNnet wants to provide a safe, secure, helpful
user experience for students, University professionals,
and the business community. Therefore, we will use commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that the information you
provide and submit to us remains private, and is used
only for the purposes as set forth herein.
The following discloses our current
information gathering and dissemination practices, which
may change from time to time, for this Site, which is
accessible at the following domain names: IndianaINTERN.net;
IndianaINTERNnet.com; and IndianaINTERN.com.
Nonpersonal Information Gathering
We will collect no personal information about you unless
you choose to provide personal information to us. Therefore,
if you do nothing but browse through the Site or download
information from the Site, no personal information will
be gathered. However, we will gather and store certain
information that does not identify you personally. Such
nonpersonal information may include the Internet domain
name and the Internet Protocol address from which you
access the Site; the type of browser and operating system
used to access the Site; the date and time you access
the Site; the address of any Web site from which you
used a link to access the Site; and the Site pages,
areas and services you accessed during your visit. This
nonpersonal information helps us determine what services
and tools are most beneficial to our visitors, and how
we can best serve the student, university and business
communities. As such, we may share this non-personal
information with our partners, so that they too may
tailor their services and sites to better serve our
visitors.
Specific Information Gathering
The Site's intern-matching service cannot be anonymous.
Rather, we must have personal contact information to
facilitate the matching process. Therefore, if you wish
to become a user of the Site's intern-matching services,
then you must also choose to manually input contact
information such as your name, email address, university,
academic major and daytime phone number. This contact
information will be used to contact you when necessary
to send notifications of matching internship opportunities.
The information may also be used to inform you of additional
opportunities or services or of Site changes.
During your visit, Indiana INTERNnet
may also ask you to choose to provide survey information,
such as likes or dislikes regarding the Site, types
of internship opportunities or jobs that are of interest,
and demographic information (like age, region of the
state, academic year, school in attendance, or academic
interests). This information is requested in an effort
to deliver to you the most relevant information and
to provide you the best possible internship experience.
Demographic and profile data
is used to tailor each visitor's experience at our site;
to provide content that we think each visitor might
be interested in; to display content according to each
visitor's preferences; and to create individualized
database search criteria to accelerate each visitor's
search process.
Contact Information
As noted, any contact information (such as email address)
and academic school or department, is used to contact
the visitor when necessary. After you have registered,
we may provide you with a password, which, for your
further protection, you may have to provide in order
to gain access to the non-public areas of the Site.
Resumes
Indiana INTERNnet is an internship link and matching
site. As such, you may choose to submit you resume and
contact information for inclusion in our member database.
By submitting your resume and contact information, you
agree to allow authorized employers, recruiters and
university personnel to access your resume. Indiana INTERNnet
will use commercially reasonable efforts to grant access
to this database only to authorized employers, recruiters,
hiring managers, headhunters, human resource professionals,
and university career professionals and personnel, but
Indiana INTERNnet cannot guarantee that unauthorized
parties, such as hackers, will not, without our consent,
gain access to the database.
Changing Contact, Resume or Profile Information
Indiana INTERNnet gives you the option of changing and
modifying information previously provided to the Site.
To do so, go to IndianaINTERN.net, click on your personal
account link and enter your user name and password.
From your account, select the appropriate links to change
or modify your profile or contact information, or to
submit an updated resume. While you may remove or modify
your resume from our searchable database at any time,
you also acknowledge that authorized parties may have
retained a copy of your previously posted resume in
their own files or databases. Therefore, you agree that
we are not responsible for the retention, use, or privacy
of resumes in these instances, nor the use or privacy
of resumes by any of such parties while resumes are
in the database. You may also choose to participate
in the Site's chat rooms, forums, message boards, and/or
news groups. Please remember that any information you
choose to disclose in these areas becomes public information
and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose
your personal information. Please refer to our Terms
document for other information pertinent to such forums.
Third
Party Web Sites and Links
The Site may contain links to other sites. Once you
link to another site(s), you are subject to the privacy
policy of the new site(s) Indiana INTERNnet is not responsible
for the privacy practices or the content of such Web
sites. Please refer to our Terms document for other
information pertinent to links to external sites.
Children
The Site is intended for the use of high school-age
students, college-age students,
university professionals and employers. The Site is
not directed to children and it does not specifically
collect information from children under the age of thirteen
(13); therefore, and because Indiana INTERNnet is a nonprofit
organization, the Children's Online Privacy Protection
Act (COPPA) does not apply to the Site. However, we
choose to protect children within the spirit of COPPA
as follows. We understand that children under the age
of thirteen may access and choose to provide personal
information in the hope of securing an internship or
employment opportunity. We encourage such children to
seek their parents' or guardians' consent and advice
before registering on this, or any other site, and/or
before giving out personal information. We also ask
the children to provide the contact information of their
parent(s) or guardian(s) so that we may notify them
that the child is providing personally identifiable
information. A parent or guardian may request to see
and have deleted any information about their child,
and request that we do not collect further information
from or about the child. Any such requests will be complied
with after we verify the identity of the requesting
parent. Finally, we urge parents and teachers to be
involved in children's Internet explorations. It is
particularly important for parents to guide their children
when children are asked to provide personal information
on line. We highly recommend that parents view with
their children the Federal Trade Commission's Web site
at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/kidzprivacy/index.html
to learn more about how COPPA protects children's privacy
online.
Modification and Termination of this Agreement
If Indiana INTERNnet decides to change our privacy commitment
for any reason, changes will be posted here so that
students, universities and employers will always know
what information we gather, how that information might
be used, and whether it will be disclosed to anyone.
