Dordt collects information to better personalize your website experience. The college automatically collects certain pieces of information, including your IP address, your Internet service provider, your time on the website, and navigation path on the website using Google Analytics. We use this information to provide you with the best possible information service. Other information that Dordt collects includes demographic and geographic information from Google Analytics.

Dordt also uses Pardot, a marketing automation tool. Pardot sets cookies, tiny files that are downloaded to your computer, for tracking purposes and sets third-party cookies for redundancy. Using first-party and third-party cookies together is standard in the marketing automation industry. Pardot cookies do not store personally identifying information, they store only a unique identifier. Pardot tracks visitor and prospect activities on this website and on Pardot landing pages by setting cookies. These cookies are set in order to remember preferences (like form field values) when a visitor returns to this site, and again to provide you with the best possible information service.

Dordt uses remarketing and other online advertising means to better reach our online audiences. The college uses third-party vendors, including Google, to show ads on sites across the Internet.

Your information is for internal use only. Dordt may share some of the information collected with contracted third-party vendors, companies who are acting on our behalf, or jointly with Dordt, under a contractual arrangement when necessary to fulfill the services of Dordt. We may also share information when required to do so by law.

Whenever possible, we do not share information with third-party vendors unless they have agreed in writing to provide the same level of privacy protection as provided by Dordt.

We do not disclose private information about you for the purposes of marketing or soliciting products or services other than our own.

Some of our website features may use applications to collect data to facilitate an e-commerce transaction.
