Communicating Over the Internet

Attention! Please do not use the Internet (email or the Web) to send confidential information or to contact us regarding an emergency requiring immediate action. We cannot ensure that email will be read or answered as quickly as a phone call. In case of an emergency, use the telephone and call either Psy A CS at (973) 353-5805 or the University Police at (973) 353-5111. For off-campus emergencies, call 911.

Also, if you wish to schedule or cancel appointments, do not use email. Instead, call (973) 353-5805.

As email is not secure and can be read in transit by people other than the recipient, we strongly discourage using email to send messages of a personal or confidential nature. Sending email is like sending mail in an unsealed envelope; another person could read your message, change it, or even impersonate you. Email is copied, archived, and retransmitted continuously as part of normal processing. Because of this, please use email only to request information about our services, or other non-confidential matters.

There are several ways you can communicate with us without having to send information over the Internet:

This site generally stores no information about its visitors, with the exceptions of basic logging for site statistics (and then only machine addresses, not personal email addresses).

There may be pages where we give visitors the option of providing us with names, addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers, email addresses, personal information, and various other kinds of details. This more personal information is not gathered without visitors knowing and providing active permission and participation.

This site does not monitor private communications or make any use of such communications.

This site does not display or make available visitors' personal information, such as contact information, even if it is already publicly available, to any person except the user himself or herself, except at the request of the user.

This site does not retrieve personal information from the visitor's computer that was not originally sent to us or by us.
