Form and Function<\/h2>

Forms are a great way to collect information from users on your website; from registration to “contact us”, a form can help you understand and interact with your audience better. To add or edit a Gravity Form on your site, you can contact the Web Team<\/a> (webmaster@umw.edu) for assistance.<\/p>

  • a description of what fields on the form need to be updated;<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    If you are looking to add new fields to your form, please let us know what the field should be called, where to place it in the form, and whether or not that field is required.<\/p>

    If you need to add or remove a recipient of form submissions, you can send us the name and email address for those users and we can make those adjustments.<\/p>

No other information is collected through our web site except when you deliberately decide to send it to us (for example, by clicking on a link to send us an email). The information you might choose to send us is listed below as “optional information.”<\/p><p><strong>Routing, or client, information<\/strong>: The Internet domain and Internet address of the computer you are using.<\/p><p><strong>Essential technical information<\/strong>: Identification of the page or service you are requesting, type of browser and operating system you are using; and the date and time of access.<\/p><p><strong>Nonessential technical information<\/strong>: The Internet address of the web site from which you linked directly to our web site, and the “cookie information” as described below.<\/p><p><strong>Optional information:<\/strong> Optional information includes the following: (1) information provided through emails you send to us, including your name, email address, and the content of your email; (2) all the data you choose to fill in or confirm on online forms you fill out; and (3) the data you choose to send to Administrative Systems. This optional information is stored in a secure environment, protected from unauthorized access or disclosure. <\/p><p>By providing your mobile phone number, you agree to receive text (SMS\/MMS) messages from UMW and partners for our programs. Message frequency varies and message or data rates may apply. UMW will not share or sell end user information to third parties or affiliates. No mobile information will be shared with third parties\/affiliates for marketing\/promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.<\/p><p>You may opt-out of text messaging at any time by replying to any message with STOP. This will end the communications from that particular phone number.<\/p><p>Finally, we never use or share the optional information provided to us online in ways unrelated to the purpose described without a clear notice on the particular site and without also providing you an opportunity to opt-out or otherwise prohibit such unrelated uses.<\/p><p><strong>Cookies<\/strong>: Our web site may place a “cookie” on your computer, unless your browser is set to reject cookies. These cookies enable our web site to recognize you when you return to the web site at a later date or time and enables us to personalize the web site with preferences or information you have provided during prior sessions. The cookie information placed on your computer could include the following: IP address, browser type, operating system, the date and time, whether or not you have visited a web site before, where you went when you visited that web site, and any preferences or customization that you might have set (including username and passwords).<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the Collected Information is Used<\/h3><p>Routing information is used to route the requested web page to your computer for viewing. We send the requested web page and the routing information to our Internet service provider or other entities involved in transmitting the requested page to you. We do not control the privacy practices of those entities. Essential and nonessential technical information helps us respond to your request in an appropriate format, or in a personalized manner, and helps us plan web site improvements.<\/p><p>Optional information enables us to provide services or information tailored more specifically to your needs or to forward your message or inquiry to another entity that is better able to do so, and also allows us to plan web site improvements.<\/p><p>We may keep your information indefinitely, but we ordinarily delete the transaction routing information from our web server within 60 days after the web page is transmitted and do not try to obtain any information to link it to the individuals who browse our web site. However, on rare occasions when a “hacker” attempts to breach computer security, logs of routing information are retained to permit a security investigation and in such cases may be forwarded together with any other relevant information in our possession to law enforcement agencies. We use this transaction routing information primarily in a statistical summary type format to assess site content and server performance. We may share this summary information with our business partners when needed.<\/p><p>Optional information is retained in accordance with the records retention schedules at the Library of Virginia.<\/p><p>Under the “Virginia Freedom of Information Act,” any records in our possession at the time of a “Freedom of Information Request” might be subject to being inspected by, or disclosed to, members of the public. However, all identifiable confidential\/personal information will be removed prior to releasing the routing information.<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Online Advertising<\/strong><\/h4><p>We use Google remarketing cookies on some admission-related sections of the website. These cookies allow us to customize advertising across the internet based on which parts of the website you visit. They do not identify you in any way.<\/p><p>You can opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting Google’s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/settings\/ads\">Ads Settings<\/a>. Alternatively, you can opt out of any third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.networkadvertising.org\/managing\/opt_out.asp\">Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page<\/a>.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choice to Provide Information<\/h3><p>There is no legal requirement for you to provide any information at our web site. However, our web site will not work without routing information and the essential technical information. Failure of your browser to provide nonessential technical information will not prevent your use of our web site, but may prevent certain features from working. Failure to provide optional information will mean that the particular feature or service associated with that part of the web page will be unavailable to you.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Customer Comments or Review<\/h3><p>If you have questions about this privacy statement or the practices of this web site, or if you choose to review or correct any information you previously submitted, please contact the webmaster.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> <\/h2><hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity alignwide\"><p><strong>Page Last Updated:<\/strong><\/p><div class=\"wp-block-post-date__modified-date wp-block-post-date\"><time datetime=\"2025-10-28T16:02:48-04:00\">October 28, 2025<\/time><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Privacy StatementThe following information explains the Internet Privacy Policy that the University of Mary Washington has adopted for our web site.Virginia LawWe protect our records in accordance with our obligations as defined by applicable Virginia statutes, including, but not limited to, the “Virginia Privacy Protection Act of 1976,” the “Virginia Freedom of Information Act,” and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":0,"parent":6,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"umw_cb_additional_links":[[]],"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_advisory_expires_time":"","_advisory_meta_include":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":{"0":"post-202","1":"page","2":"type-page","3":"status-publish","5":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
