Security of Data

Although every effort is made to secure network communications, PCC cannot ensure the privacy of online communications. Individuals using online services should also take steps to protect personal information, such as closing the web browser when finished using the site. Failure to do so may result in personal information being viewed by someone else using the same computer.

PCC accepts credit card payments online for a variety of goods and services. Unless otherwise noted on the site, all PCC credit card transactions are encrypted. Confidential information entered to complete a transaction will not be used by PCC for any other purpose unless the purpose is described on the site.

PCC policy states that College-owned computers and equipment may be examined by authorized individuals to detect illegal software and to evaluate the security of the network.
