Privacy Policy Thank you for visiting Dauphin County Technical School’s website. We appreciate the opportunity to interact with you on the internet and are committed to protecting and safeguarding your privacy. The purpose of this Privacy Statement is to inform you about the types of information we might collect about you when you visit our site, how we may use that information and whether we disclose that information to anyone. Dauphin County Technical School (DCTS) respects the privacy needs of our valued students, alumni, colleagues, community and stakeholders. What Information We Collect and How We Use It Any Information we collect on our site generally falls into the Personally Identifiable Information Category. Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets us know specifically who you are. In general, you can visit our Site without telling us who you are or revealing any Personally Identifiable Information. Sharing Your Information Except as disclosed in this Privacy Statement, we do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transmit any Personally Identifiable Information we collect online unless we have your permission. Your personal information is used primarily to establish personal accounts to gain access to DCTS email updates, and to contact you in the course of valuable research or special events. Demographic and profile data collected by DCTS may be used to tailor our website and email communications, and to share information that is more relevant to you. DCTS also compiles demographic and personal information, but in the aggregate only, and may make that aggregate information publicly available. Under no circumstances will the DCTS make any personal information about an individual user available to anyone. From time to time, we may be required to provide Personally Identifiable Information in response to court order, subpoena, or government investigation. We also reserve the right to report to law enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful. We may release Personally Identifiable Information when we believe that such release is reasonably necessary to enforce or apply our Limited Warranty or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others and ourselves. Links to Other Websites Links to third-party web sites may be provided solely for your information and convenience, or to provide additional information for various other goods and services. If you use these links, you will leave our Site. This Privacy Statement does not cover the information practices of those web sites linked to our Site, nor do we control their content or privacy policies. We suggest that you carefully review the privacy policies of each site you visit. Cookies DCTS’s website, similar to other standard websites, tracks web browsing patterns to understand how the website is being used.

Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information while on our site. Web browsers have settings allowing you to reject cookies, selectively accept cookies, or delete cookies previously accepted. Please be aware that rejecting or deleting cookies from our website may make certain functions unavailable to you. Data Security Whenever users submit personal information (such as contact or credit card information) via online forms, registration, or online payment, that information, upon submission, will be encrypted via the highest level of SSL (Secured Sockets Layer) available.
