Oglethorpe University is dedicated to protecting the privacy and
security of our site visitors. We urge you to read our Privacy Policy and Terms
of Use. Use of our website constitutes your consent to this policy.
Protection of Personal Information
When an individual makes a donation, purchases a product, sends an
application, or otherwise contacts Oglethorpe University, we may ask
you for personal contact information such as name, address, and
email address. This information may be used to contact you regarding
the information or services that have been requested.
Neither Oglethorpe University nor our agents sell
any collected information to third parties.
In addition to personal contact information, when an individual makes a
donation or payment to Oglethorpe University we may ask for information, such as your billing address and credit card number. We
have taken measures to secure both your information and our physical
premises. We exercise care in providing safe transmission of your
information from your personal computer to our servers (unless sent
by a means outside of our control, such as e-mail). Your billing
information is not shared with other organizations. Your credit
card number is not retained once your transaction has been
authorized and processed, except in the case of payment plans or
recurring payment processing.
You can request changes to billing information you have provided us by
sending a letter to:
Business Office
Oglethorpe University

Atlanta, GA 30319
Privacy of Children
The Oglethorpe University website does not intend to
collect personal or financial information on-line from children
under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect personal contact
information from children under age 13 without prior parental
consent.
Some sections of the Oglethorpe University website
do allow for individual users to post comments and contact
information on their own without prior review by Oglethorpe
University staff. These areas are intended for site users over
the age of 13. However, Oglethorpe University retains the
right to edit and/or remove, without notice, any information that we
learn is inaccurate or inappropriate.
Use of Cookies and Tracking Information
Oglethorpe University may use server-side cookies to collect
site-visitation statistics. We may also record and use IP addresses as part of our reports. We do not record, monitor,
or track an individual’s use of this site.
Oglethorpe University may use client-side cookies to assist
users with site navigation, such as controlling window display or
menu options. These cookies do not store personal information
that is associated with an individual user.
If you choose to disable cookies in your browser, you will still be
able to view and use the Oglethorpe University website.

The Oglethorpe University website may contain links
to other sites that may have different privacy policies. Oglethorpe
University is not responsible for the privacy practices or content

policies of any third-party sites or services before providing them

not imply an endorsement of that site by Oglethorpe University.
