Privacy Policy
Collection and Use of Information
The Nevada System of Higher Education Supplier Registration and Payment Registration ("SRPR") system collects and stores the
information submitted by suppliers, including personally identifiable information. This information
is stored as part of the supplier profile. The University of Nevada Las Vegas Purchasing
Department ("UNLV") may tie supplier's personally identifiable information and history to
information in their profile in order to provide information to supplier regarding particular
solicitations and to improve the services provided by SRPR. In addition to the profiles, SRPR
stores information that it collects through log files to further profile user and Supplier
preferences.
UNLV will use information primarily: (1) to streamline processing of supplier registration,
supplier inclusion, and solicitation notifications; (2) to provide continuing and updated
information to suppliers regarding the procurement process generally or a particular solicitation
specifically; and (3) to continually enhance and improve the procurement process.
UNLV is the sole owner of the information collected on the SRPR website. However, UNLV is
subject to the disclosure requirements of the Nevada Public Records Law and will disclose user
and Supplier profiles as required by law. Personally identifiable information may be disclosed
under Nevada Public Records Law unless that information qualifies as one of several
exceptions to that law's disclosure requirements.
Personally Identifiable Information
Personally Identifiable Information may be subject to Nevada Public Records Law and shared
with third parties upon a public records request under that law. UNLV does not otherwise share
this information with third parties, except as necessary to administrate the procurement process.
Aggregation of Information
All information submitted to the SRPR system may be aggregated. Aggregations will be drawn
from the latest operational data and included in standard reports and ad hoc reports for use as
decision support and analytical information. The level of aggregation will depend upon the style
of the report and business requirements being addressed by the process. For example, reports
may list the number and types of bids sent to a particular supplier, and may list specific dates of
each notice.
Social Security Numbers
Where supplier is a sole proprietorship, supplier will be required to provide its Social Security
Number when registering in the SRPR. UNLV will encrypt it and use secure socket layer
technology (SSL) for data transmission. The information will be stored in our procurement and
financial systems which are also secured.
Communications from the Site
For those suppliers who choose to receive electronic notifications, UNLV will send emails to the
specified email address. UNLV may send suppliers information regarding specific solicitations
for which the supplier may be interested in submitting a proposal. UNLV will communicate with
suppliers in response to inquiries and to manage the competitive procurement process.
Suppliers will receive email notification of addenda associated with any solicitation for which the
user has expressed an interest. UNLV may provide suppliers with additional communications if
deemed necessary or helpful for the overall functionality of the registration and procurement
processes.
Nevada Public Records Law
Under NRS 239.010, "...all public books and public records of a governmental entity, the
contents of which are not otherwise declared by law to be confidential, must be open at all times
during office hours to inspection by any person, and may be fully copied or an abstract or
memorandum may be prepared from those public books and public records. Any such copies,
abstracts or memoranda may be used to supply the general public with copies, abstracts or
memoranda of the records or may be used in any other way to the advantage of the
governmental entity or of the general public. This section does not supersede or in any manner
affect the federal laws governing copyrights or enlarge, diminish or affect in any other manner
the rights of a person in any written book or record which is copyrighted pursuant to federal
law."
Legal Disclaimer
UNLV reserves the right to disclose your personally identifiable information as required by law
and when it believes that disclosure is necessary to protect UNLV's rights or to comply with a
judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
Log Files
SRPR gathers certain information automatically and stores it in log files. UNLV uses this
information to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site
and to gather demographic information about the user base as a whole.
Cookies
UNLV uses Session ID cookies so that the continuity of the supplier's login session within
SRPR is managed through the exchange of a cookie. The cookie is used only in that session
and does not carry over to a subsequent log on or separate interaction with SRPR. The cookie
contains no information about the supplier, supplier profile, supplier computer platform, or how
the supplier is accessing SRPR. Upon completion of the particular session, the Session ID
cookie expires when the supplier closes the browser and is discarded. If the supplier rejects
cookies, they may still use SRPR, but their ability to use some areas of the website will be
limited.
Links to Other Sites
This website contains links to other sites that are not owned or controlled by UNLV. UNLV is not
responsible for and does not endorse any advertising, products, or resources from such
websites. UNLV is not responsible for the privacy practices of other such sites.
Security
UNLV follows generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information
submitted to it, both during transmission and once received. No method of transmission over the
Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while UNLV
strives to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, it cannot
guarantee its absolute security.
Changes in this Privacy Statement
If UNLV changes its privacy policy, it will post those changes to this privacy statement so that
you are aware of what information UNLV collects, how it is used, and under what circumstances
it is disclosed. UNLV reserves the right to modify this privacy statement at any time, so please
review frequently.
