• Third Party Services

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the way your personal information will be handled by these providers.

Certain providers may be in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our course website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

If you make a purchase on our site, we use a third-party payment processor PayPal. Payments are encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as necessary to complete your purchase transaction.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our site and related courses and its service providers.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with AES-256 encryption.

• Data & Document Retention Policy

• • Overview
    • The documentation and archiving of student data is critical to ensure the accuracy, privacy, and integrity of student records. RESNYS is committed to record management and retention of student educational records in accordance with applicable laws and regulations as well as established best practices, reasonable best judgment, and common sense.
  • Types of Records
    • A record is defined as any “writing” regardless of physical form or characteristics, containing information related to a student that is prepared, owned, used, or retained by any of the providers/ individuals at RESNYS. The term “writing” is defined as all forms of information/data including, but not limited to, written communications, notes, photocopies, emails, photos in any medium (e.g., handwritten, print, tape, film, microfilm, microfiche, and any form of electronic data storage including emails).
    • Electronic Records: Many records are created and maintained in an electronic format. These include documents stored on the computer hard drives, servers, emails and attachments, and documents that have been scanned and reside in our student database.
    • Electronic Mail should be treated like any other electronic record. Mail received via electronic media that has student academic record information should be retained according to the retention schedule listed below. As stated previously the e-mail can be copied into the information system or printed/scanned into the student document management system. Each person using email as a tool for communication must take responsibility for the retention of important student information. The email files embedded in your desktop account are not permanent storage and should not be used for permanent or long-term storage purposes.
    • Records Hold: this indicates a specified record cannot be sent to be disposed as scheduled due to a request from the student or legal counsel. The record will remain on hold until such time the record is no longer needed for any ongoing issues such as an investigation, litigation, or any other special circumstance.
  • Scanned Records: RESNYS has made a commitment to reduce the usage of paper documents. We have in most locations moved to an on-line application for admission and the acceptance of electronic transcripts. We are also committed to the scanning of student documents so they can be viewed on-line without need to photocopy. It is our goal that all administrative offices/divisions will scan all hard copy documents to the appropriate file. Documents scanned to the student records do have a retention time period.
  • Student Permanent Records: also known as archival records, are those records that have historical value or are deemed to be necessary to document grades and student attendance at RESNYS.
    • Redundant records are those records that are not deemed necessary to be kept. Examples of this would be a photocopy of a document that is already on file or scanned into the student’s record or a screen shot. Records that have been duplicated or have no value to the student record, such as a draft of a letter are considered redundant records. Redundant records will not appear on the list of documents to be retained.
    • Records generated as electronic mail (as email or attachments) should be retained as either paper copies or scanned to RESNYS’s document imaging system with appropriate storage and back-up protocols. E-mail is retained on university servers in reference to student records for no longer than 5 years.
  • Retention Period Schedule
    • The retention period is the maximum/minimum length of time a record must be kept by RESNYS records retention policy. The retention period as indicated in the schedule below means the records must be kept until the designated time period has ended. For RESNYS, the retention period starts at the end of the student’s last day of attendance or the date of course completion, whichever comes later.
    • A retention schedule identifies all records to be maintained and designates the time period that the record must be retained.
  • Summary
    • All RESNYS employees & providers have responsibility to maintain student academic records in a safe, secure, and retrievable way. All must adhere to the following practices:
      • Keep data secure against unauthorized creation, updating, processing outputting and distribution.
      • Appropriately secure student academic records and keep them inaccessible to non-approved users when not in use.
      • Use, retain, and dispose of data consistent with this policy.
      • When creating reports from databases, maintain the same level of confidentiality in the report as exists for protection of the original data.
      • Reports containing private or confidential data should be disposed of properly which means shredding all paper copies and removing the data from hard drives and servers so that it cannot be retrieved by non-approved users. Retained reports for archival purposes that include student data must be secured.
