Your privacy is essential to us. Here in our site (“Site”), we believe that privacy is a top priority. We know that you care how information about you is used and shared. Thus, we provide this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to summarize our procedures and practices as regards to information collection and use. This will serve you as a guide in making an intelligent decision in sharing your information with us. By visiting this Site, you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy and hereby accept the procedures and practices described herein.
Scope
This Privacy Policy applies only within this Site and other pages where this policy appears. This would describe and explain how we take care and handle your personal information you share with us. By accepting our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, you expressly consent to our collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Collection and Use
If you attempt to use the services, tools, and applications of this Site and or choose to provide information to us, this Site shall collect personal information from you. This information includes, but is not limited to, names, colleges, grade point averages, graduation years, test scores, school transcripts, photos, email addresses, addresses, and telephone numbers. Once collected, we will store your information for a reasonable period of time for record keeping purposes. The information that we store is sometimes deleted as space requires or in the normal course of business.
Disclosure
We may share information with governmental agencies or other companies assisting us in fraud prevention or investigation. We may do so when: (1) permitted or required by law; or, (2) trying to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud or unauthorized transactions; or, (3) investigating fraud which has already taken place. The information is not provided to these companies for marketing purposes.
Cookies
This Site may use cookie and tracking technology depending on the features offered. Cookie and tracking technology are useful for gathering information such as browser type and operating system, tracking the number of visitors to this Site, and understanding how visitors use this Site. Cookies can also help customize this Site for visitors.
Security
All collected information is stored in a technically and physically secure environment. While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect personal information off-line. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect our members’ personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Accessing and Updating Personal Information
When you use our services, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes. We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical, or for which access is not otherwise required. In any case where we provide information access and correction, we perform this service free of charge, except if doing so would require a disproportionate effort. Some of our services have different procedures to access, correct or delete users’ personal information. We do retain personal information from closed accounts to comply with law, prevent fraud, collect any fees owed, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist with any investigations, enforce our policies and take other actions otherwise permitted by law.
Third Parties
We provide links to websites outside of this Site. These linked websites are not under our control, and we cannot accept responsibility for the conduct of companies linked to this Site. Before disclosing your personal information on any other website, we advise you to examine the terms and conditions of using that website and its privacy statement.
Visitor Age
This Site is not intended for visitors that are under thirteen (13) years of age. This Site does not knowingly solicit or collect information from individuals under the age of thirteen (13). If we determine that we have inadvertently collected personal information from someone under thirteen (13) years of age, we will take reasonable steps to purge this information from our database. We encourage parents and guardians to spend time online with their children and to participate and monitor the Internet activities of their children.
Changes and Amendments & Notification of Changes
This Site reserves the right to change or update this Privacy Policy at any time. Amendments to this Privacy Policy can be made and effected by us from time to time without specific notice to you. Privacy Policy posted on the Site reflects the latest policy and you should carefully review the same before you use this Site.
