COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION
The AGMU Privacy and Information Security Policy applies to the collection and use of information you provide to us through our websites. This information will only be used by AGMU. The system automatically collects IP addresses and pages visited for use in internal statistical analysis processes. This information is not used to track users' private data. The user authorizes AGMU to use this information for marketing actions, statistical generation, and optimization of its websites.

• Cookies
We use tracking technology with cookies. The user can use their browser settings to disable the use of cookies. If disabled, they can continue browsing our websites, but with some restrictions.
• Security
To safeguard the user's personal information, AGMU uses encryption technology to prevent unauthorized access or accidental loss, alteration, or destruction of your information. For this, we use security certificates (SSL Certificate) provided by a certification authority (CA), such as GoDaddy, which generates the certificates we install on our websites. The registration of these certificates is carried out by the Vice Presidency of Telecommunications and Academic Technology or the Associate Vice Presidency of Marketing and Public Relations. Since no system can guarantee complete security, we aim to keep the information you provide as secure as possible, including its physical security at the server location where the information is temporarily stored while being processed, and then deleted from it.

Periodically, updates are made to the data you provide through the website.
