Privacy Policy

At Lexicon Networks, we share your concerns about privacy. Since an essential function of this site is to provide you information on your customized preferences on higher education institutions of choice, regional preferences, majors of preference, etc., we want you to understand what types of information we are collecting and what may happen to that information.

1. Collection Of Information

Information is collected from our users at several different points during your visit to Lexicon Networks.

Passive Collection of Information- In addition to the information which you actively provide to Lexicon Networks by methods such as completing the registration form, Lexicon Networks collects information about how you interact with our site. Lexicon Networks collects passive information for purposes such as testing and improving a user's experience at the site and the compilation of broad aggregate demographic data and related usage information for internal purposes and for disclosure to third parties such as advertisers and content partners. The types of passive information collected by this site include, without limitation, your IP address, which type of browser you are using, where you go on our site, and how long you stay on any part of our site. Passive information does not identify you to Lexicon Networks by name, and Lexicon Networks does not link your IP address to your personally identifiable information.

Collection of Information from Children- Lexicon Networks abides by federal law and the guidelines set up by the Federal Trade Commission regarding youth privacy. As such, Lexicon Networks will not knowingly collect any personal information from or allow the registration of young people under the age of 13.

Use of Cookies- Lexicon Networks uses "cookies" to help maximize your online experience and enhance your safety online. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard drive by a Web page server. Cookies are not used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to your computer, and can only be read by a Web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

Lexicon Networks uses both session ID cookies and persistent cookies. A session ID cookie expires when you close your browser. A persistent cookie remains on your hard drive for an extended period of time. You can remove persistent cookies by following directions provided in your Internet browser's help resources.

Lexicon Networks uses session cookies to monitor your interaction with the site. The session cookie expires when you close your browser. Lexicon Networks also uses permanent cookies to track click streams.

Some of our business partners (e.g., advertisers) use cookies on our site. We have no access to or control over these cookies. The Lexicon Networks privacy policy covers the use of cookies by Lexicon Networks only and does not cover the use of cookies by any business partners. You may have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline all cookies if you prefer. Alternatively, you may be able to modify your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis. If you choose to decline cookies, however, that may hinder performance and negatively impact your experience on Lexicon Networks.

Use of Web Beacons- Lexicon Networks pages may contain electronic images known as Web beacons (sometimes called single-pixel gifs) that allow us to count users who have visited those pages. Web beacons are not used to access your personally identifiable information; they are a technique we use to compile aggregated statistics about usage of the Lexicon Networks site. Web beacons collect only a limited set of information including a cookie number, time and date of a page view, and a description of the page on which the Web beacon resides. You may not decline web beacons; however, they can be rendered ineffective by declining all cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each time a cookie is tendered and permit you to accept or decline cookies on an individual basis.

2. Use Of Information

Once Lexicon Networks recognizes you, pages, advertisements and other content is customized for you so that you can see what interests you the most. In addition, as described above, Lexicon Networks utilizes passive information to learn more about how you interact with our site. This passive information may be combined with your other information for purposes such as testing and improving your experience at our site and the compilation of broad aggregate demographic data and related usage information for internal purposes and for disclosure to third parties such as advertisers and content partners in order to serve customized advertisements to you on our Sites or sites with which we have a business relationship.
