Analytics
Who we share your data with
If you link through to one of our affiliates the source of your link (our website) will be shared with them. This is the bare minimum of information required to identify our affiliate relationship for statistical and compensation purposes.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

We only retain your contact information if you sign up for our newsletter or RSS feeds. We NEVER spam or share your personal information with third parties other than those you specifically authorise or link through to thereby indicating your interest and/or intent to establish a relationship.
Additional information
How we protect your data
We at AuburnEdu.org strongly believe in your rights to privacy, including and especially your right to control the use of your personal information. And, that your privacy should be respected on similar grounds as that of a personal letter sent via post. We strictly limit the collection and processing of your personal data, and to the best of our abilities work only with other organisations who take a similar posture. We will not use personal data that you provide us in a manner inconsistent with the purposes for which you provided it.
We do not sell, rent or lease personal data. Period!
Any attempts by government agencies or non-affiliate third parties to gain access to the personal information you provided to us will be responsibly challenged.
