Privacy Policy
This web site is owned and operated by the Council on Accreditation (hereafter referred to as COA). We respect the privacy of every individual who visits our site. We do not collect personally identifiable information from individuals unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly. If you register to use various features of our site, we use the information you supply for the purpose of providing the services you have requested. We may also contact you from time to time with information that relates to your requests or interests.
COA collects two types of information: personal voluntary registration information, such as name and email address, and non-personal statistical information, such as site traffic and usage patterns. This information is used primarily to fulfill publication orders, deliver requested information, and to improve the design and structure of the site. It is used solely by COA and others involved in the operation of this web site and will never be sold or given to third parties.
To protect your privacy, we use encryption technologies. In addition, we allow only authorized employees or agents access to personal information. Although we cannot guarantee there will be no unauthorized access to personal information, these measures increase the security and privacy of information traveling to, from and within our web site.
