Last updated: August 15, 2026
Information We Collect
We may collect information you voluntarily provide through inquiry forms or direct communications, including your name, email address, telephone number, program interest, and message. Our hosting systems may also record standard technical data such as an IP address, browser type, referring page, and access time for security and site operation.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to respond to inquiries, provide requested student or university services, maintain academic and administrative records, protect the website, and meet applicable legal obligations. CIU does not sell personal information.
Cookies and External Services
This website may use essential browser storage or cookies needed for normal operation. Links to external services, including verification and library resources, are governed by the privacy practices of their respective providers.
Information Sharing and Retention
Information may be shared with authorized personnel or service providers when reasonably necessary to fulfill a request, operate the website, protect users, or comply with law. Records are retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected or as required by applicable academic, administrative, or legal obligations.
Security
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so users should avoid submitting passwords or unnecessary sensitive information through general inquiry forms.
Your Choices
You may contact CIU to ask about personal information you submitted or to request a correction or deletion, subject to identity verification and any applicable record-retention requirements.
Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and CIU does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through this website.
