Privacy Notice for Transition Coalition

Transition Coalition website

Transition Coalition knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our privacy policy. By creating an account on the Transition Coalition website, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice. You do not have to create an account on the Transition Coalition website to access much of our information.

Participants interested in receiving or utilizing the online training, surveys, and materials developed by the Transition Coalition will need to create an account. To create an account, a participant must identify an email address and password for the account. In addition, a participant must complete a demographic data survey. Passwords are secured so Administrators of the Transition Coalition cannot see it. No highly sensitive data (e.g. social security number, address, credit card information, student id, etc.) is requested. You can choose not to create an account, but then you might not be able to take advantage of some of our features including training and surveys.
