or of potential new services that may be offered.
Dukes Education does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties.
Dukes Education may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business
partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases,
your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone

Use of Cookies
The Dukes Education Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online
experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page
server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the
domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save
you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned
to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Dukes Education pages, or
register with Dukes Education site or services, a cookie helps Dukes Education
to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process
of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses,
and so on. When you return to the same Dukes Education Web site, the information
you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Dukes Education
features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically
accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies
if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience
the interactive features of the Dukes Education services or Web sites you visit.
Security of your Personal Information
Dukes Education secures your personal information from unauthorized access,
use or disclosure. Dukes Education secures the personally identifiable information
you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit
card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use
of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement
Dukes Education will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect
company and customer feedback. Dukes Education encourages you to periodically
review this Statement to be informed of how Dukes Education is protecting your
information.
