Information We Gather

Northwest College collects both personal and non-personal information via our website.

Personal Information
The collection of personal information occurs when someone completes an admissions application, an athletic recruiting questionnaire or other online form that asks for things like name, address, email, date of birth, etc. This information is confidential and protected. No information provided by you or details of any business transactions are sold to any third party. Data is shared with third parties only when necessary to process a transaction, or to comply with appropriate laws and regulations.

Non-personal Information
Some types of non-personal information are collected when you browse the Web, read Web pages, or download images or files. This information does not identify you personally. It is collected to help us improve our website and services to the public, and to better understand the general demographics of our user base. Items we gather will include the following.

The college does not actively solicit information from children under the age of 13. If a web visitor who is known to be a child contacts the college, we will use that information only to respond to their message.
