Commitment to Your Privacy
We respect and are committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our website. For this reason, we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy will inform you on how your personal information is processed and used by National Louis University. We make the promise that we will take the necessary steps to use your personal information only in ways that are compatible with this Privacy Policy. The following policies are only in effect for the web pages, online applications, forms, and newsletters owned and operated by National Louis University. The following discloses our Privacy Policy.
What Information We Collect and How It Is Used
Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers that serve as that computer's Internet Protocol Address (IP Address). When a visitor requests a page or file from the NLU website, our servers automatically recognize that visitor's domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our site. We use this information to examine our traffic in website analytics software applications. We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals. Our servers do not automatically record the e-mail addresses of our website visitors.
When a visitor accesses and completes our online Admissions Application form and online Request More Information form, this data is collected and transmitted securely across the internet and housed in our administrative database for processing. We will never share, sell, or rent individual personal information unless ordered by a court of law. Information submitted to us is only available to employees managing this information to contact you or send you emails based on your request for information or for processing online applications submitted via our website.
National Louis University has multiple means of communication with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends. Certain communications are internal and cannot be opted out of, especially those concerning campus health and safety. All other communications from NLU will provide opt-out controls within each communication and users will have the ability to unsubscribe from emails directly within the message. Opt-out preferences will be processed immediately and will be effective no later than 10 days after submission.
