Privacy policy
- There are four types of information maintained by PEOI for
its various constituencies
1)- specific information that other PEOI users need to interact
with one another such as name and email address. This information
is mandatory. Missing, invalid or hidden name or email address
will nullify the registration. Note that no name and email address
appear in any PEOI web pages; they are kept in SQL data banks,
and are not accessible to spider software that roams the internet
in search for email addresses for their spam clients.
2)- vital features that describes the type of individuals in
the different categories (such as age group, nationality, gender,
level of education, employer) and appears in profile. Some of
this information can be hidden by placing a ] sign in front of
the text. Course completion and course average grade also appear
for all students enrolled in courses.
3)- materials placed by students, employers, partner institutions,
instructors or authors for a specific purpose such as an assignment,
a CV, a job listing, a special event or offering, and data generated
by PEOI's procedures such as test grade or student feedback evaluation,
can only be viewed by the specific audience for which they are
intended, and access to such materials requires a verified registration
with PEOI. For instance, a student's individual test grades can
only be viewed by the student and his/her instructor, if he/she
has one. CV's can only be viewed by employers. Partner institutions'
special events can only be viewed by students. All this information
is also kept in SQL data banks inaccessible to spiders.
-
- 4)- personal background information, which is needed to verify
the identity of individuals, is not available to anyone but PEOI's
administration.
-
- For students, employers and partner institutions all information
is entirely voluntary except for name and email address.
-
- For faculty, authors, editors and translators, general information
is expected so that anyone can see the calibre of individuals
working at PEOI.
-
- In no case any of the information is sold, shared or given
to any third party. Everyone registered with PEOI, who has provided
personal information at any time, has PEOI's solemn pledge that
the information provided will not be used for any monetary or
commercial purpose.
