1Introduction and Scope
Mari Private University is committed to protecting the privacy of its website visitors, students, faculty members and applicants.
This policy applies to all pages and services available under the mari.edu.sy domain, including application, booking and enquiry forms.
By using the website you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please refrain from using the website.
2Data We Collect
Data you provide voluntarily: full name, email address, phone number, nationality, academic qualification and grade, the desired faculty or institute, and any text you write in an application or enquiry message.
Data collected automatically: IP address, browser type and operating system, pages visited and visit timing, and approximate city-level location.
Booking data: when booking an appointment at the university clinics or library rooms we record the name, contact method and requested time.
We do not request or store payment card details through the website.
3How We Use Your Data
Reviewing admission and registration applications and communicating with applicants about them.
Scheduling university clinic appointments and library room bookings.
Responding to enquiries and complaints submitted through the website forms.
Improving the website content, performance and user experience through aggregated, non-identifying analytics.
Sending academic or administrative notifications related to the service you requested.
We do not use your data for any external marketing purpose, and we do not sell or rent it to any third party.
4Cookies
The website uses cookies that are necessary to run the session and to store your language preference and the accessibility settings you choose.
It also uses analytics cookies to measure visit counts and browsing paths in aggregate.
You can reject non-essential cookies at any time from the banner at the bottom of the site, or delete and disable them from your browser settings.
Disabling essential cookies may prevent some services from working, such as booking forms and language switching.
5Sharing Data with Third Parties
Your data is shared only in the following cases:
With academic and administrative units inside the university that need it to process your request.
With the Ministry of Higher Education or the competent regulatory bodies where the law or admission ranking regulations require it.
With technical service providers acting on behalf of the university (such as hosting and email) under confidentiality obligations.
In response to a valid judicial or legal request.
6Data Security and Retention
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including HTTPS encryption in transit and restricting database access to authorised staff only.
We retain admission application data for the duration of the application review, and then for the period required by university regulations and official archiving.
Booking and enquiry data is deleted once its purpose has been served, unless there is a legal obligation to keep it.
Despite our efforts, the security of any transmission over the internet cannot be absolutely guaranteed.
7Your Rights
You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you.
You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete data.
You have the right to request deletion of your data when there is no longer a justification for keeping it and no legal obligation to do so.
You have the right to object to the processing of your data for analytics purposes.
To exercise any of these rights, write to us at info@mari.edu.sy and we will respond within a reasonable period.
8Minors' Privacy
Some applicants may be under eighteen years of age.
In that case we process their data only to the extent necessary to review the application, and the guardian is assumed to be aware of and to consent to the application.
If we become aware that we have collected data from a minor without guardian consent, we delete it as soon as we know.
