Privacy Policy|

Your privacy is important to Augusta State University Division of Professional and Community Education (PaCE). Our policy is to protect the privacy and confidentiality of those accessing our website (www.ced.aug.edu or https://aceweb.aug.edu). This Website Privacy Statement describes the information we collect and how that information is protected and used.

Information Gathered Automatically and Its Use
When you access our site, we automatically collect certain information, such as the type and identity of the Internet service provider you are using, the time spent on the website, and the country from which you access the website. We also gather your IP address.

An IP address is a number assigned to your computer for accessing the Internet. All computer identification on the Internet is conducted with IP addresses, which allows computers and servers to recognize and communicate with each other. We do not link IP addresses to anything personal. This means that user sessions are tracked, but the users remain anonymous.

The IP address is used to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website by identifying the parts of our website that are most heavily used and the portion of our website audience coming from within the KSU network.

We use the information gathered automatically, as described above, to tailor website content to user needs and to generate aggregate statistical reports. At no time do we disclose site usage by individual IP addresses.

We reserve the right to use IP addresses to identify any visitors who refuse to comply with our Terms and Conditions of Use, and to identify visitors who threaten our service, site, customers or others.

Information Supplied by Users
On some pages within our website, you may be asked to provide personal information before accessing specific pages or as a requirement to receive certain information by mail or e-mail. As an example, persons requesting registration materials may be requested to provide a name and mailing address. This information may be used by us to contact you directly; however, you will always be given the choice to opt out of any of our direct marketing activities.

All PaCE credit card transactions are conducted over an SSL secure server. Credit card information is not stored or re-used in any manner. GRU PaCE, a division of Augusta State University, follows the policies of the University System of Georgia. Credit card transactions are conducted through Touchnet, the University System of Georgia's vendor of choice. This credit card information is not stored in any campus server, for any reason. Refunds are processed through GRU Business Office, and do not require us to capture credit card information.
