Your privacy is important to us. We have created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following document discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this Web site, UW Student Learning Objectives System, http://www.washington.edu/slo.
Only under unusual circumstances will information be revealed in violation of the policy. Release of confidential information would take place to comply with any legal process, protect or defend the University of Washington or other individuals or organizations involved with this project (including protecting the property of said parties), or to enforce University of Washington policies. Be aware that UW is an agency of the state of Washington and as such has obligations to maintain public records under RCW 42.18, which potentially requires us to provide Web site records if requested by anyone through the proper legal process. Disclosure might also occur by a break-in to the site’s computers, either physical or electronic, and/or a UW employee, UW student, or other contractual partner who violates UW privacy rules.
This Web site does not collect any personal or demographic information from its users.
We also keep a minimum set of system logs that allow us to tune and protect the service and determine general usage patterns. We do not keep such information any longer than necessary to meet these objectives. The system log information we collect or request may include these items: name of domain from which you access the internet, date and time of your visit to our site, the internet address of the website you linked from, information on your web browser program and computer operating system.
An Internet Protocol (IP) address does not identify you personally, but rather identifies the location you are computing from. We do collect IP addresses from those visiting our Web site. These addresses are used to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our site.

We use information provided by you to contact other individuals only for the purpose for which the address was solicited. For example, if you request we forward information about this site or our technology to another party, we will only use the contact information for that purpose. Return e-mail addresses and third party addresses sent to us for the purpose of forwarding site information are never sold to other sites or businesses.
This policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. If any provision of this agreement shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the other provisions and shall not affect the validity of the other provisions.
This Web site takes every reasonable precaution to protect our users’ information. When users submit sensitive information via the Web site, that information is protected both online and offline.
This Web site is hosted on servers maintained by the University of Washington computer personnel. Information received by this Web site is treated with the same security procedures as other UW information on these servers, including restricting server equipment and file access to appropriate personnel.
Should you have any questions or concerns about this privacy policy, please e-mail the Software and Copyright Ventures office of the University of Washington at ventures@u.washington.edu.
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes here, so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Please periodically check this privacy statement for changes.
