official University and alumni association use, and also

Privacy and Security
The Transylvania University Alumni Association has
taken all reasonable precautions to secure the personal
information available through the On-line Alumni
Directory. The directory is password protected to allow
access by registered Transy alumni only. Although these
precautions should effectively protect any personal
information available through the on-line directory from
abuse or outside interference, a certain degree of
privacy risk is faced any time information is shared
over the Internet. Therefore, by updating your profile,
you have the ability to control the nature and amount of
information available to other alumni.
