Introduction Washington State University is committed to safeguarding the privacy of data provided by individuals who use our services, online or offline. This Privacy Notice outlines the collection, use, and disclosure of information provided to Washington State University for the purpose of recruitment, admission, and initial enrollment. 2. Scope of This Privacy Notice For purposes of this Privacy Notice, “Personal Information” refers to information concerning an identifiable natural person that is provided to the University. Identifiable means that a natural person can be identified by a specific factor such as a name, identification number, location data, or other specific information related to genetic, cultural, or social identity. Personal Information does not include aggregate information that can no longer be attributed to a natural person. Personal Information is required for the University to provide services to you. If you are not willing to provide required Personal Information, you will not be able to use our services. For purposes of this Privacy Notice, “Sensitive Information” includes but is not limited to ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, sexual orientation, trade union membership, criminal convictions, educational records, and medical information and records. The Sensitive Information you provide to the University is voluntary. If you have voluntarily provided information concerning your race, religion or philosophical beliefs, or sexual orientation through the recruitment, admission, or initial enrollment process, it may be shared with other administrative offices to identify activities of interest, to administer University polices, and to provide support services. Information concerning a criminal conviction may be collected and shared with federal and international authorities to comply with applicable laws and University policies. From time to time, you may receive email or other material with links to other websites. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of other websites to understand their information and privacy practices before providing personal information, either directly or indirectly through our forms. Washington State University collects and processes your Personal Information to manage you as a person throughout the recruitment, admission, and initial enrollment. If you are offered admission and enroll, your information will be used to manage you as a student, e.g., student accounts, provide academic advising, develop and deliver education programs, track academic progress, provide medical services, and enforce University policies. Your information and sensitive information may also be used to analyze and improve education programs, and may be de-identified for regulatory reporting, auditing, accreditation purposes, general demographic and statistical research to improve University programs, and other related University processes and functions. We will share your information with other University divisions and departments as necessary to administer and manage academic progress, and to enforce University policies. Finally, we share your information and sensitive information with third parties that have entered into contracts with the University to perform these functions on behalf of the University, which include an obligation to keep them confidential. 3.
