How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

When you access website, we (including departments we work with) may place small data files on your computer or other device. These data files may be cookies, pixel tags, "Flash cookies," or other local storage provided by your browser or associated applications (collectively "Cookies").

We use these technologies to recognize you as a user; customize Calendar Services, content, and advertising; measure promotional effectiveness; help ensure that your account security is not compromised; mitigate risk and prevent fraud; and to promote trust and safety across our Google sites and Calendar Services.

You are free to decline our Cookies if your browser or browser add-on permits, unless our Cookies are required to prevent fraud or ensure the security of websites we control. However, declining our Cookies may interfere with your use of our website and Calendar Services.

How We Protect and Store Calendar Information

Throughout this Privacy Policy, we use the term "calendar information" to describe timetable information that can be associated with a specific department and can be used to identify its users. All our Google Calendars has a title, such as; Uniben 100L History, to identify its users.  We do not consider calendar information to include timetable information that has been made anonymous so that it does not identify a specific group of users.

We store and process your calendar information with Google Calendar. Google protects your information using physical, technical, and administrative security measures to reduce the risks of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure and alteration. Some of the safeguards they use are firewalls and data encryption, physical access controls to their data centers, and information access authorization controls.

How We Share Calendar Information with Other Users

If an admin is granting you remote access, the gmail address and department and level of the recipient will be used so they can verify they are sending to the correct Google account.

If an agent is selling you access, the Quick Response code or QR code will be used so they can verify they are sending to the correct Google account.

We work with Partners/Interns, Lecturers/Undergrads, to enable them to easily serve you. In doing so, a third party may share information about you with us, such as your gmail address or mobile phone number, to inform you that a Paystack invoice has been sent to you or when you attempt to pay an agent or third party.

Please note that agents, partners, interns you buy from or contract with have their own privacy policies, and although Uniben Calendar Network User Agreement does not allow the other transacting party to use this information for anything other than providing Calendar services, Uniben Calendar Network is not responsible for their actions, including their information protection practices.

Regardless, we will not disclose your information except with your express permission or if we are required to do so to comply with a subpoena, or other legal process.

How We Share Calendar Information with Other Third Parties

We may share your calendar information with:

- Members of the Uniben Calendar Network corporate family, to provide joint content, products, and services (such as

registration, access and customer support), to help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts and violations of our policies, and to guide decisions about their products, services, and communications. Members of our corporate family will use this information to send you marketing communications only if you have requested their services.

- Tertiary Institutions that we partner with to jointly create and offer a service. These tertiary institutions may only use this information to market Calendar-related products, unless you have given consent for other uses.

- Faculty Development partners as required by the Center for Faculty Development in tertiary institution rules for inclusion on their list of verified partners (in the event that you meet their criteria).

- Companies that we plan to merge with or are acquired by.

If your calendar information could be used contrary to this policy, you will receive prior notice.)
