Registration Agreement
The alumni-only sections of the website are provided by the UCSD Alumni Association and are designed to facilitate communication among alumni and with UCSD.
I. Privacy and Security
The University and the UCSD Alumni Association have not, do not and will never sell alumni information to anyone. All alumni information is strictly guarded for use by individual alumni and the UCSD Alumni Association for personal and University-related purposes only.
The UCSD Alumni Association has taken all reasonable precautions to secure the personal information available. The alumni-only sections of the website are password protected to allow access by registered University alumni only. Although this precaution should effectively protect any personal information from abuse or outside interference, a certain degree of privacy risk is faced any time information is shared over the Internet. You have the ability to hide your personal alumni listing from being viewed by fellow alumni.
II. Policy and Guidelines for Proper Use
To safeguard the operation of the alumni-only sections of the website, the UCSD Alumni Association has adopted many guidelines and policies that are used by the University to govern conduct, particularly conduct that occurs in an online environment.
In addition to the University's policies and guidelines, users of the alumni-only sections of the website must abide by the following specific rules and regulations:
A. Unauthorized copying, reproduction, republishing, uploading, downloading, posting, transmitting or duplicating any of the material is prohibited.

Additionally, users shall not upload, transmit, distribute or otherwise publish any materials containing a virus or any other harmful component.

Neither the University nor the UCSD Alumni Association is responsible for screening communications in advance, and neither the University nor the Association will actively monitor the use of the alumni-only sections of the website. For this reason, it is essential that the alumni users report any abuses or misuse of the website to the UCSD Alumni Association.

The UCSD Alumni Association reserves the right to expel a user and deny a user further access to the alumni-only sections of the website if such user violates these policies or any applicable laws or regulations.
