General

Our Sites provide information about our services, academic programs, and products. You can browse our Sites without providing personal information such as your name, mailing address, email address, phone number, or social security number.

Cookies

When you visit our Sites, a “cookie” may be issued to track your session. Cookies are small data files stored on your device’s hard drive to enhance your experience. We use cookies to identify popular areas and features and count visits to our Sites. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default; however, you can modify your browser settings to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are sent. Some parts of our Sites may not function correctly if cookies are disabled.

Personal Information

IAU collects certain personal information that you provide voluntarily during purchases, such as your email address and billing address. We do not collect or store credit card information; all payments are processed securely through a third-party payment gateway, Authorize.net.

This personal information is used to:

  • Process and deliver your order, including confirmation emails and updates.
  • Provide customer service and respond to inquiries related to your order.
  • Improve our Sites and personalize your experience.

Your personal information is securely managed within IAU’s systems, and we do not authorize access to any third parties beyond what is necessary for processing your order.

Non-Personal Information

When you access and use our Sites, some information is automatically collected, including details about your computer’s operating system, Internet Protocol (IP) address, access times, browser type and language, and the website that referred you to us. We also gather information about your usage and activity on our Sites.

Non-personal information is used to generate statistics and assess site activity to enhance the site’s usefulness for visitors.

Sharing Your Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties except as outlined in this privacy policy or as disclosed on our Sites. For instance, we may share personal information:

  • With your consent, including when notified on the Sites.
  • With vendors, contractors, and service providers who need access to your information to perform work on our behalf.
  • To comply with laws, respond to legal requests, protect our rights and property, enforce agreements, or in an emergency to protect the safety of IAU’s community and third parties.

We may also share aggregated or anonymous information that does not directly identify you.

Information Security

IAU takes reasonable measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
