There are secure forms on the Rush Education and Career Hub website for users to request services and information via the internet. Users may need to provide confidential information to help the Rush Education and Career Hub fulfill a request. We will use this information only to help us respond to the user’s request.

Any personally identifiable information we collect is securely stored within a database. We use standard, industry-wide procedures to protect information we receive from visitors to the website. However, as effective as encryption technology is, no security system is impenetrable. We cannot guarantee the security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information supplied by visitors to the website will not be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the internet.

Users are prohibited from violating or attempting to violate the security of this website, including, without limitation, (a) accessing data not intended for them or logging onto a server or an account which they are not authorized to access; (b) attempting to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network, or to breach security or authentication measures without proper authorization; or (c) accessing or using the website or any portion thereof without authorization, in violation of this policy or in violation of applicable law. Violations of system or network security may result in civil or criminal liability.
