By using Pace.edu, you consent to the storage, processing, and transfer of your personal information outside your country.
We collect general, statistical information about visitors to our site for the purpose of facilitating communication and conducting business between the college and users of the site. We use this information solely for internal purposes, such as to improve Pace.edu. Under no circumstances do we share information about visitors with external organizations. Pace University also makes use of cookies to improve our visitor’s Web experience. A cookie is a piece of data stored by a Web site on a user’s hard drive, which contains information about the user.

Security
Pace University provides a secure server to protect your information from being viewed by an outside user. The technology transmits and receives scrambled data, which is decoded on the server side.
Surveys and Email
Pace University may request information through surveys, which users may choose to participate in on a voluntary basis. Information gathered may be used for marketing and promotional purposes or to notify you of new content, among other uses. If you email us with questions or comments, we may use your personal information in order to respond to you. We may also share your information with a third party to assist in our response. We may file your comments for future reference, or we may discard the information after we have reviewed it. Under no circumstances do we share information about visitors with external organizations.
Interactive Features/Facebook
While Pace University and Pace.edu strive to protect users’ personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you disclose online through interactive features such as forums, message boards, chat rooms, or similar services that are specifically designed to be visible to other users. You should be aware that any personally identifiable information you choose to submit via those media can be read, collected, and used by other participants and could be used to send you unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for the personally identifiable information you choose to submit when you engage in such activities.
Pace University may also use Facebook features and tools, including pixel tags added to Pace.edu, that allow data about actions of visitors to be sent to Facebook to track conversions and to allow Pace University to create custom audiences for the courses, products or services Pace University may advertise on Facebook. We may also provide Facebook with other data we have collected about you for this purpose, using Facebook tools that allow data such as email addresses and phone numbers to be locally hashed on our system before we upload and pass such data to Facebook. Facebook’s use of such data is governed by Facebook’s Data Use Policy. You can adjust Facebook ad settings here. You can also manage the interest-based advertising you receive or completely opt-out of receiving such advertising by indicating your choice here.
