PRIVACY AND SECURITY
The CEN web site is password protected to allow access by registered Cornell University alumni, students or staff only. Furthermore, the registration forms on the CEN web site are located on a secure web site that incorporates the latest encryption technology. Although these precautions should effectively protect any personal information available through The CEN web site from abuse or outside interference, a certain degree of privacy risk is faced any time information is shared over the Internet. Therefore, through the personal profile feature of the CEN web site, you have the ability to control the nature and amount of information available to other alumni.
