Privacy policy

​

 

College Possible has created this Privacy Policy to explain why we collect particular information and how we will protect your personal privacy within our Web site.

​

In order to fully understand your rights we encourage you to read this Privacy Policy. College Possible reserves the right at any time and without notice to change this Privacy Policy simply by posting such changes on our Site. Any such change will be effective immediately upon posting.

 

Because we want to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy, this Privacy Policy notifies you of:

  • What personally identifiable information of yours is collected through the Site;

  • Who collects such information;

  • How such information is used;

  • With whom your information may be shared;

  • What choices you have regarding collection, use and distribution of your information;

  • What kind of security procedures are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under our control; and

  • How you can correct any inaccuracies in your information.

 

 

What information we collect and how we use that information:


Our registration forms require users to give us contact information that may include name, email address, format preference (HTML vs. Text), address, interests, and similar information. We do not request or store sensitive information from our visitors, such as credit card or social security numbers.

​

College Possible will not sell your personally identifiable information. College Possible may share the information, including your comments, with third parties to further the mission and purposes of College Possible. However, if you indicate that you would like your personal information or comments kept confidential, then we will do so.

​

College Possible will respect a constituent’s wish to be contacted only as the constituent stipulates. The constituent will be flagged and removed from routine communication if so stipulated. In the absence of such stipulation, College Possible retains the right to contact donors with information related to gifts, acknowledgements or for future relationship building. College Possible will maintain a record of all requests for discontinuance of contacts, effective with the adoption of this policy by its Board of Directors. Oral requests will be reduced to writing by College Possible’s staff and maintained with written requests. College Possible will maintain records of such requests as required for legal or liability purposes.

​

 

Internet Protocol Address:
 

We collect an IP address from all visitors to our Site. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. We use IP addresses to help diagnose problems with our server, administer our Site, analyze trends, track users’ movement, gather broad demographic information for aggregate use in order for us to improve the site, and deliver customized, personalized content. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

 

 

Use of “Cookies”:


Our Site may use cookies to enhance your experience while using our Site. Cookies are pieces of information that some Web sites transfer to the computer that is browsing that Web site and are used for record-keeping purposes at many Web sites. Use of cookies makes Web-surfing easier by performing certain functions such as saving your passwords, your personal preferences regarding your use of the particular Web site and to make sure you don’t see the same ad repeatedly. Many consider the use of cookies to be an industry standard.

 

By using our site, you agree that we may place these and other similar types of cookies on your device and access them when you visit in the future. We may collect information through the Google Analytics Advertising features, which includes age, location and gender. However, this information is not personally identifiable; rather it is received in aggregate.

​

Your browser is probably set to accept cookies. However, if you would prefer not to receive cookies, you can alter the configuration of your browser to refuse cookies. If you choose to have your browser refuse cookies, it is possible that some areas of our Site will not function properly when you view them.

​

Security:


All information provided to College Possible is transmitted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption. SSL is a proven coding system that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to us. We also protect account information by placing it on a secure portion of our Site that is only accessible by certain qualified employees of College Possible. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information.
