This policy describes the handling of personal information in connection with the BGCU public website, inquiries, applications, academic administration, and related University services. Branner Global Christian University is the institutional contact for these activities. Contact rector@brannerglobal.education or write to 2125 Biscayne Blvd, Ste 204 #26392, Miami, FL 33137, United States. Separate platforms or third parties may provide additional notices for their own activities.
Depending on your interaction, information may include contact details; the contents of messages; application and enrollment information; academic submissions, assessments, transcripts, or diploma records; transaction references and billing information; and identity or authorization information needed to process a request. Only submit information requested for the relevant purpose. Do not send passwords or full payment card details by ordinary email.
Website hosting, security, login, and other enabled technologies may process device, browser, IP address, request, error, and interaction information. Cookies or similar technologies may support authentication, preferences, security, analytics, or embedded content, depending on the features in use. Third-party content may contact its provider when loaded. A tag-management component may load additional services; its presence alone does not establish which tags are active. Where consent is required for nonessential technologies, those technologies must be subject to the applicable consent mechanism. Browser settings can restrict cookies, although some features may be affected. Ask the University for information about the services active for your interaction.
Information is used as needed to respond to requests, assess applications, administer enrollment, provide academic services, maintain records, verify authorized requests, process payments, protect systems, resolve complaints, and meet applicable legal duties. Where applicable law requires a legal basis, processing must rely on an appropriate basis such as steps requested before a contract, performance of a contract, legal obligations, legitimate interests subject to the required balancing, or valid consent. Consent is not presumed to cover every activity.
Information may be handled by authorized personnel and service providers supporting hosting, communication, learning systems, payment processing, document services, or professional administration, to the extent needed for the task. Disclosures may also occur when legally required, to protect lawful rights or safety, or at the individual’s authorized direction. Record-verification requests require appropriate identity and authorization checks. A third-party payment or document service may handle information under its own terms and privacy notice. This policy does not give unrestricted permission to disclose student records.
Communications and online systems may involve processing in the United States or other countries where relevant service providers operate. Where applicable law regulates international transfers, the required legal transfer mechanism and safeguards must be used. Contact the University for details relevant to your information; this notice does not claim a particular transfer certification or mechanism that has not been documented.
Retention depends on the record type, academic administration needs, applicable obligations, and legitimate requirements such as resolving disputes. Academic records may need to be kept longer than an ordinary inquiry. Contact the University for the period or criteria applicable to a particular record. Information should be limited to authorized access and protected by measures appropriate to its sensitivity and risk. No website, email, or storage method can be represented as completely secure.
Depending on the law applicable to the activity, individuals may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, obtain a portable copy, withdraw consent, or receive information about disclosures. These rights are not absolute and may be subject to identity checks, lawful retention duties, and other exceptions. Send requests to rector@brannerglobal.education. Do not include unnecessary sensitive documents in the initial request. The University must respond within the period required by applicable law. A request does not waive any right to contact a competent supervisory or public authority.
The University’s graduate-education pages are directed toward adult applicants and students. If you believe a child has submitted personal information without appropriate authorization, contact the University. External websites operate under their own notices. Material changes to this policy should be published here and communicated further where required by law. Review the current notice before submitting new information. This policy does not waive statutory privacy rights.
