Information we may collect

AMBS.edu uses Google Analytics to aggregate anonymous information about our website visitors, including, but not limited to: how visitors get to our website, what visitors do while on our website, and where visitors come from. Some of this information may be tied to an automatically-assigned “client ID” that may be traceable to you. (The EU considers this client ID personally identifiable information; the US does not.)

Special case for the AMBS Upload Files to Moodle for Google Drive app

AMBS apps that connect to Google Drive, like the AMBS Upload Files to Moodle for Google Drive App (yes, we also think it is a terrible name), if used, comply with the , including the Limited Use requirements. Connections to Google Drive from AMBS apps are made over encrypted connections, and AMBS does not collect any data made available to the app beyond that required to let you upload files to Moodle directly from your Google Drive account. That data is not retained beyond the time required to complete the upload.
