Terms of Service

Vermont College of Fine Arts (VCFA) wants the personal information of visitors to our website to remain as secure as possible. We have taken measures to protect such personal information from loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no website security procedures are foolproof.

This Internet Privacy Policy will tell you what information we collect, how it is used, and what your choices are. Please read this Internet Privacy Policy carefully.

VCFA uses personal information collected through our website to administer programs in which users have enrolled and to send program, marketing, and promotion-related information to users. In addition, VCFA will analyze user information in aggregate form to assess its programs and determine its plans for the future. Except as set forth herein, VCFA will not use any personally identifiable information that it collects for marketing or promotional purposes and will not use personal information to contact visitors to our website for any purpose unless necessary for the enforcement of this Privacy Policy or VCFA’s policy on the use of the VCFA website or the vcfa.edu domain.

Therefore, you agree that the personal information you submit to the VCFA website is submitted at your own risk and that VCFA will not be liable to you for any breach of security or inadvertent disclosure of your personal information.

VCFA does not intend to collect any information directly from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, you may use the VCFA website only with the involvement of a parent or guardian. In the event that VCFA learns that it has inadvertently collected information from a child under the age of 13, any and all such information will be promptly deleted from VCFA’s systems.

They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but they may not use this information for other purposes. (Note: Sharing and third-party use of information gathered by cookies, such as the Internet domain and Internet address of the computer you are using, 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, are discussed above.)

Except as otherwise provided herein, VCFA will not disclose any personal information it gathers about a visitor to our website that could be used to identify or contact such visitor. In the following limited circumstances, VCFA may release personal information to third parties: 1) to comply with valid legal requirements such as a law, regulation, subpoena, or court order; or 2) in special cases such as a threat of physical violence to a visitor to our website or to others.
