II. SCOPE

This Privacy Statement explains how the University of California San Diego (“UC San Diego,” “we,” “us” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal information (as defined below) in connection with our campus website www.ucsd.edu and other websites we own and operate that link to this Privacy Statement (the “Sites”), and the related content, platform, services, products, and other functionality offered on or through our Sites (collectively, the “Services”).

This Privacy Statement does not address our privacy practices related specifically to UC San Diego employees, students, or other affiliates, except where these individuals are interacting with UC San Diego Sites in their capacity as a member of the public.

It does not apply to the collection, use, and disclosure of your protected health information. Please see the UC San Diego Health Notice of Privacy Practices for more information about how UC San Diego collects, uses, and discloses your protected health information under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

When we collect personal information that is part of a student or an applicant’s educational record (“Student Data”), we collect, use, store, and otherwise process such information in accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).

In all instances, if we learn that any personal information we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 13, and in the case of youth programs without the parent or legal guardian consent, we will delete that personal information.

Our Services may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, and applications.
