Collecting, Using and Disclosing Personal Information

  ●Information Collected

The University web sites may collect personal information such as name, address, e-mail address, telephone number(s), and/or educational interests. Such personal information may be requested by us in respect of research, teaching, public service, and/or for administrative purposes.

Web servers typically collect, at least temporarily, the following information: Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer being used; the web pages requested; the date and the time of your visit to the site; the type of browser that is being used. The University may collect statistics identifying particular IP addresses from which our web sites are accessed as well as the usage of our web sites.

  ●Use and Disclosure of Collected Information

If you provide personal details during your visit to the University web sites, then we will only use and disclose your personal information for the purpose for which it was collected.

  ●Security

The University of Macau web sites use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect the transmission of sensitive personal information over the Internet.

Although every effort is made to secure network communications, the University cannot ensure the privacy of online communications.
