Privacy Policy
P3P
Platform for Privacy Preferences (P3P) is a new protocol that allows users to be assured of their privacy based on a set of general definable privacy criteria built in to their browser to allow them to browse a website without recourse to reviewing each and every websites privacy policy. Developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) it is intended that this functionality be entrenched into the way in which the World Wide Web operates with integration into browser technologies to define how a users personal information can be requested.
The College is committed to employing protocols, when available; to assure users that only information that is necessary to the operation of the task at hand is obtained.
