Some of our advertising partners are members of the NAI or DAA. You may opt out of interest-based advertising at networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp and aboutads.info/choices. Opting out prevents targeted ads but does not stop all advertising.
8. AI TECHNOLOGIES
Moreland University uses artificial intelligence technologies in several ways on the Site and in our communications.
AI-Powered Assistant
Our website includes a conversational AI assistant powered by AI technologies provided by us and our service providers. The AI assistant can answer questions about our programs, provide information about the application process, and offer study support to enrolled students.
Important: Responses from the AI assistant are for informational purposes only and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. Always use your own judgment when reviewing responses. For important decisions — including questions about tuition, enrollment requirements, or certification — please confirm information directly with a Moreland University advisor.
Conversations with the AI assistant are recorded. We and our service providers may periodically review interactions in an anonymized or aggregated manner to improve accuracy and response quality. We do not use your conversations to train general-purpose AI models without your consent.

If you have opted in to receive communications from Moreland University, please be aware that some of the messages you receive — including voice calls, text messages (SMS), and emails — may be generated or delivered in whole or in part using AI technologies.

AI-Assisted Content
Some content on the Site — including blog posts, program descriptions, and informational resources — may be created or refined with the assistance of AI tools. All AI-assisted content is reviewed for accuracy before publication.
Data Used in AI Processing
When you interact with AI features on the Site, we may collect and process your inputs, conversation history, and any personal information you provide during those interactions. This data is handled in accordance with the rest of this Privacy Policy. EU and UK residents: please see Section 13.

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure.

If you have reason to believe your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately at privacy@teach-now.edu.
13. DO NOT TRACK
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal to websites.
