Terms of Service.
Please see STARS Help if you have questions about this service.
This page describes current STARS practices. This information may change as STARS

our Privacy Policy.
Thank you for visiting STARS and reviewing our Privacy Policy Statement. STARS
provides a convenient portal to various training information and services available
from Arizona Government University (AzGU).
Depending on your function and level of access, this web portal may request information
from you directly. This statement is included to inform you solely about the
information that could be collected online as a result of visiting STARS itself.
Your rights to privacy are of utmost importance to AzGU in building trust and
confidence when conducting business through the Internet. |
Online Customer Service and Alternatives
STARS offers many of the services online that you might otherwise
transact in person. Our goal is to provide you with a more convenient
and efficient means in which to interact with AzGU. |
Collection and Use of Information
Information Collected and Stored Automatically
STARS does not use cookies to gather information during your visit. The web server
that hosts STARS does gather certain information about the visit automatically
in a standard log file. This information consists of only the following items: |
- The Internet domain (for example, xcompany.com if you
use a private Internet access account, or yourschool.edu if
you connect from a university's domain) from which you access
the website;
- The IP address (an IP address is a number that is automatically
assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the
Web) from which you access the website; and
- The date and time of your access.
|
| We use this information to gather statistics about the amount
of use the site receives. Again, we do not automatically record
information about you as an individual. This information is not
shared, sold, or otherwise disseminated by STARS. However, this
information may be required in response to a public records request
or in response to a warrant, subpoena, or other court order. |
| Although STARS does not currently use
cookies, future releases may necessitate their use along with
other session enhancement methods. These will be thoroughly
evaluated in order to determine their benefit to both the client
and the service provider before being implemented. This privacy
statement will also be updated to describe exactly what information
is being collected and how to disable or refuse cookies. |
Information You Provide
Information collected from an application submitted online
will be treated in the same manner as the information collected
from an application submitted on a hard copy to the applicable
State agency. The information you disclose (either through STARS
or directly) may be required in response to a public records request
or in response to a warrant, subpoena, or other court order. |
| Not all agency online applications
use the services of STARS, nor are they required to. Please
be assured that your personal information will be held in strictest
confidence while STARS processes your online transaction and
will not be shared, sold, or otherwise disseminated to any
outside person or entity, except as required or authorized
by law. |
| Please refer to A.R.S. § 41-4152 (5)
and (6) if you have further questions regarding how a AzGU
will use the information you submit online, or contact AzGU
at 602.771.AZGU(2948). |
Security
The State of Arizona and its consultants, as developer and manager of the STARS
web portal, have taken several steps to safeguard the integrity of its computer
systems and networks. These steps include, but are not limited to individual
authentication, the security of transmitted data, security monitoring, auditing,
and encryption of your information. Security methods and measures have been
integrated into the design, implementation and day-to-day practices of the
entire AzGU web portal. |

other government agencies, nonprofit organizations and private
businesses. When you link to another site, you are no longer on

policy of that new site. Links to web sites outside of State government

| Neither the State of Arizona, nor any
