Privacy Policy

"Personal information" is any information pertaining to an identifiable individual. Examples of personal information include name, mailing address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, and student records that include identifying information. Information that does not identify an individual and cannot reasonably be used to identify that individual is not personal information.

The personal information we receive may only be used for legitimate purposes with the permission of the appropriate data controller. "Eastern Partner LLC" obtains personal information in three ways:

· Information you provide to us directly, such as when you register or apply for admission.

· Information we collect from other sources, such as transcripts provided by other schools or letters of recommendation.

· Information we collect automatically when you interact with the website or mobile app.

Personal information you provide to us or that we collect from third parties is used to provide services to you and to administer programs and operations, respond to your requests, provide advertising or educational materials that may interest you, perform requested transactions such as purchasing courses, conduct internal research, improve our programs, and meet our legal and reporting obligations.

Student information may include your name, contact information, online identifier, student provided profile information, academic performance, interaction with university resources, payment information such as bank card credit or banking information, tax identification numbers, participation in extracurricular activities, and any other information you provide to us as a student.

We may combine the information you provide directly with information from third parties. This information may be used to manage student academic and activities such as course registration, billing and financial aid, student advising, course evaluation and quality improvement initiatives, academic and other accommodations related to disabilities, and in other ways. Use and disclosure of student information is regulated under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

Registration will result in the collection of personal information, including your name, email address, and any information you voluntarily provide when creating your student profile. For online courses, we and our educational service providers collect information about your interactions with the course, including online interactions with other course participants, publications in the learning community, interactions with course materials, and quizzes and assignment scores.

"Eastern Partner LLC" collects information about applicants and their family members to process applications for admission and determine financial aid eligibility. The information on your application will be available to university staff and reviewers at the time of admission and will be kept by "Eastern Partner LLC". The application requires that you provide your name and contact information, education and work experience, references, test scores where applicable, and other materials necessary to evaluate your application.

If you are applying for financial aid, you will be asked to provide financial information, including your taxpayer identification number, salary, scholarships, and family financial resources. Any personal information collected for admission purposes is collected either directly from you or with your consent.

The information you provide may be shared with third-party software providers who are contractually obligated to protect the confidentiality and security of the information. The University may use information from admission applications for internal quality improvement and other administrative processes necessary to provide educational services.

"Eastern Partner LLC" collects personal information such as contact and demographic information, employment and education information, salary and benefits information, bank information for salary deposits, tax and withholding information, and productivity-related information in connection with job applications, required federal documents, human resource management, and trend analysis.

International scholars who will be working at "Eastern Partner LLC" will be asked to provide information to the Office of International Students and Scholars, which helps scholars apply for and maintain appropriate visa status. The information you provide, including your name, contact information, and financial resources, as well as your employment status, will be shared as required by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
