Introduction
The Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (“DASNY”) is committed to protecting your privacy when you access our website and the online services we offer. We recognize that visitors to our website may be concerned about their privacy and have therefore described in this policy DASNY's privacy practices regarding information collected from visitors to its website, including what data is collected and how that information is used. The information is not collected for commercial marketing purposes and DASNY does not sell or distribute the information collected from its website for commercial marketing purposes.
DASNY may, at its sole discretion, change, modify, add, or delete portions of this policy. Because this privacy policy only applies to DASNY’s website, you should examine the privacy policy of any other website, including other State websites, you access through this website.

- The URL or website address of the website you visited prior to coming to this website and from which any web page on this site was linked.
The information that is collected automatically is used to improve DASNY’s website content and to help DASNY better understand how people are using its website. This information is collected solely for statistical analysis to determine what information is of most and of least interest to our visitors and to identify system performance or problem areas.
Information Collected When You Email our Website or Initiate an Online Transaction
During your visit to this website, you may choose to request information or complete an online form. The information, including personal information volunteered by you in initiating such a request, is collected and used by DASNY to complete your request. In those limited circumstances, in order to accommodate such a request, DASNY may be required to disclose information, including the personal information provided.
Information Collected When You Complete an Online Form/Application
This website contains forms and applications that may require you to submit your personal information to DASNY for specific purposes. DASNY provides the ability to complete and submit these forms/applications on its website as a convenience to its users. You may complete any online forms offline by contacting the designated DASNY representative identified on the form. The information collected in these forms is used to fulfill the purpose of the forms only.
For example, if you choose to complete an employment application through this website, you will be asked to submit personal information that will be used to evaluate your application. In addition, you may be asked to authorize DASNY to prepare and/or evaluate a consumer report, consumer investigative report, or general background investigation/check.
Information provided to DASNY on an employment application will be forwarded to the Human Resources department for processing. Information collected is maintained in accordance with existing DASNY policies and, in the event of hire, becomes a part of the employment record.
Personal Information and Choice
"Personal information" is any information concerning a natural person that can be used to identify that person (e.g., an individual's name, e-mail address, street address, and phone number). A domain name or Internet Protocol address is not considered personal information.
Personal information is not collected through this website unless you provide that information voluntarily by sending an email to DASNY through this website or by initiating any other online transaction, such as completing an online form, or requesting information.
Note, if you choose not to communicate through this website, your ability to receive specific services, products, or information through this website may be limited, however, it will not prevent you from requesting services, information, or products from DASNY by other means.
Currently, DASNY does not knowingly collect personal information from children or create profiles of children through this website. Users are cautioned, however, that the collection of personal information provided by any individual in an email will be treated the same as information given by an adult, and may, if not protected by federal or State law, be subject to public access. DASNY encourages parents and teachers to be involved in children's internet activities and to guide them whenever they are asked to provide personal information online.
Disclosure of Information Collected Through This Website
The collection of information through this website and the disclosure of that information are subject to the provisions of the Internet Security and Privacy Act and the Personal Privacy Protection Law. DASNY will only collect personal information through this website or disclose personal information collected through this website if the user has consented to the collection or disclosure of such personal information. The voluntary disclosure of personal information to DASNY by the user, whether solicited or unsolicited, constitutes the user’s consent to the collection and disclosure of the information by DASNY for the purposes for which the user disclosed the information to DASNY, as was reasonably ascertainable from the nature and terms of the disclosure.
Employees of DASNY are prohibited from disclosing without your consent any personal information you provide, except as provided or required by court order or other law, including the Freedom of Information Law, which requires DASNY to make certain information available to the public upon request. However, pursuant to the Internet Security and Privacy Act, DASNY may collect or disclose personal information without user consent if the collection or disclosure is: 1) necessary to perform the statutory duties of DASNY; (2) necessary for DASNY to operate a program authorized by law; (3) authorized by state or federal statute or regulation; 4) made pursuant to a court order or by law; 5) made for the purpose of validating the identity of the user; or 6) to be used solely for statistical purposes in a form that cannot be used to identify any particular person.
Security
DASNY is strongly committed to protecting personal information collected through this website against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Consequently, DASNY limits employee access to personal information from this website to only those employees who need access to perform a specific job. Employees who have access to this information are required to follow appropriate procedures in connection with any disclosures of personal information.
In addition, DASNY has implemented procedures to safeguard the integrity of its information technology assets including, but not limited to, authentication, monitoring, auditing, and encryption. These security measures have been integrated into the design, implementation, and day-to-day operations of this website as part of our continuing commitment to the security of electronic content as well as the electronic transmission of information.
