Concordia University web servers generate logs that may contain information about computers or devices used to access the university website, or about general activity on the university website, such as the following:
We do not associate IP addresses to individuals. As such, visitor sessions will be tracked, but visitors will remain anonymous. Our use of tracking technologies allows us to analyze trends and statistics to improve our website and your web experience.
Concordia University does not require you to provide personal information to visit our website; however, you may choose to provide us with personal information through an email message, web form, survey or other electronic means.

Concordia University utilizes industry standard SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption (registered with VeriSign Trust Network to Concordia University Wisconsin) when accepting your credit card information during online e-commerce checkout and in certain other instances where personal information is requested. SSL encryption is a method by which information transmitted across the Internet is encoded to defeat theft by anyone who should intercept the data before it reaches its destination. Web pages where SSL encryption is activated are typically identified by a lock or key symbol displayed in your web browser.
Concordia University employees may access non-public personal information in relation to their job functions and the services they provide to you.
Although every effort is made to secure network communications, Concordia University cannot ensure the privacy of online communications. All users are strongly advised to utilize web browsers with at least 128-bit encryption features for the most secure transmission of personal and financial data to Concordia University’s secure server. Individuals using online services should also take steps to protect personal information, such as closing the web browser when finished using the site. Failure to do so may result in personal information being viewed by someone else using the same computer.
