Privacy Policy

The Library is strongly committed to protecting the privacy of its online users, patrons, donors and friends. We believe that maintaining privacy is very important and that informing our visitors about the types of information we collect and how we use it is important.

Type of Information Collected

The Library does not collect any "personally identifiable information" about individuals -- such as names and postal or e-mail addresses -- except when such information is voluntarily submitted by the user. Personally identifiable information will be obtained for many library transactions such as checking out library items, etc.. Additionally, personally identifiable information may be transmitted in connection with other activities, services, or resources made available on our site.

Like many Web sites, the Library's Website automatically logs certain "non-personally identifiable" information about visits to our Web site. This information is used for system administration and for producing usage statistics. For more information, review the UTSA Internet Privacy Statement.

Security

The Library has all reasonable physical, electronic and managerial measures in place to prevent unauthorized access to the information we collect online. We do not, however, claim any responsibility for information collected by or from Web sites linking to or from the Library's Web site.

Cookies

The Library does not place a "cookie" on your computer. This means we do not save any information on your computer about you or your visit to the Library’s website.

Policy Changes

Changes may occasionally be made to this Web site Privacy Policy as new services and content are added to the site or to reflect changes in the Library's policies. Visitors to the Library's Web site are encouraged to check this document periodically to stay informed of current Library privacy guidelines.

By using the Library's Web site, you indicate your acceptance of this Web site Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not use our sites. Your continued use of any Library site following the posting of changes to these terms will indicate your acceptance of those changes.
