We do not sell or otherwise disclose information about our advisors, volunteers or supporters outside of our immediate organization. This policy has no exceptions. We do not sell or exchange your information with any other organization, public, private, or nonprofit.
Our privacy policy was developed as an extension of our commitment to combine excellent service with the highest level of integrity in dealing with our website users. The policy is designed to assist you in understanding how we collect, use, and safeguard the personal information you provide and to assist you in making informed decisions when using our site. This statement will be continuously assessed against new technologies, ethical practices, and the needs of our users.
When you visit our website you may provide us with two types of information: personal information you knowingly choose to disclose that is collected on an individual basis and website use information collected on an aggregate basis as you and others browse our website.
We may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information, including your e-mail address, postal address, home or work telephone number and other personal information for such purposes as correspondence, asking a question, requesting assistance, donations or participating in online surveys.
If you choose to correspond with us through e-mail, we may retain the content of your e-mail messages together with your e-mail address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications that we employ in the maintenance of information received by mail and telephone.
Similar to other websites, our site may utilize a standard technology called "cookies" (see explanation below, "What Are Cookies?") and web server logs to collect information about how our website is used. Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our website, and the sites visited just before and just after ours. This information is collected on an aggregate basis. None of this information is associated with you as an individual.
We do not ask for or collect personal, individually-identifiable information, like full names and addresses, from kids or other users. The information we do collect is for the purpose of administering our business activities and making available information and services to our website users. Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new services or new information we believe is pertinent to the life stage you signed up for in our “Life Touch Points” e-mail notification service. The lists used to send you information and services are developed and managed under our traditional standards designed to safeguard the security and privacy of all information provided by our users. You may at any time notify us of your desire not to continue to receive our e-mails..
Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allows web servers to recognize the computer used to access a website. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by a user's web browser on the user's hard drive. Cookies can remember what information a user accesses on one web page to simplify subsequent interactions with that website by the same user or to use the information to streamline the user's transactions on related web pages. This makes it easier for a user to move from web page to web page and to complete commercial transactions over the Internet. Cookies should make your online experience easier and more personalized.
We use website browser software tools such as cookies and web server logs to gather information about our website users' browsing activities, in order to constantly improve our website and better serve our users. This information assists us to design and arrange our web pages in the most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our website to better meet the needs of our users and prospective users.
Cookies help us collect important business and technical statistics. The information in the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users to our website as they move from one page to another. Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our website and evaluate our website's visitor capacity. We do not use these technologies to capture your individual e-mail address or any personally identifying information about you.
Occasionally, we may use the information we collect to notify you about important changes to our website, new information or new services we believe you will find valuable. As a user of our website, you will always be given the opportunity to notify us of your desire to discontinue receiving any e-mails from us by clicking on a response box when you receive these e-mails or by sending us an e-mail request.
If the need ever arises and you need to send confidential personal information to us on our website, secure server software which we have licensed encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches our website.
Other e-mail that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information such as Social Security or student financial award letters to us through an unsecured e-mail.
Information Security -- We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality of information we collect from unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration or destruction.
Evaluation of Information Protection Practices -- Periodically, our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance with organization policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality and quality of our information.
Employee Access, Training and Expectations -- Our organization values, ethical standards, policies and practices are committed to the protection of user information. In general, our business practices limit employee access to confidential information, and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes and transactions.

We may provide aggregate information about our customers, sales, website traffic patterns and related website information to our affiliates or reputable third parties, but this information will not include personally identifying data, except as otherwise provided in this privacy policy.

Kids' Privacy on Our Site
We do not ask for or collect personal, individually-identifiable information, like full names and addresses, from kids or other users. We do use software that tracks the number of visitors to the site, but this software never identifies who you are. We do not collect personal information for any purpose other than to respond to a user (for example, to answer a question). If you choose to provide us with personal information-like filling out our Contact Us form with an e-mail address and submitting it to us through our website-we will use that information to respond to your message.
We do not create individual profiles from the information provided or distribute the information to other organizations.
Message to Children - Be Careful on the Web
MyEducationMySuccess.org is a gateway. This means when you click on a link, you will leave our site. The majority of the sites we link to are from reputable non-profit agencies, government agencies, or nationally recognized organizations. Government sites have to follow special rules for their kids' sites, but non-government sites do not have to follow the same rules. When you're exploring our site, you may click on a site that will ask you for personal information, like your name, address, phone number, or email address. Before you give any information, show your parent or some other responsible adult what you are doing. Remember be safety smart!
Message to Parents, Guardians, and Educators
MyEducationMySuccess.org is a gateway that takes you and your children to other sites. The majority of the links are from other non-profits or government sites, but we do link to commercial and nationally recognized organizations. Although many of the sites we link to must adhere to Federal rules established to protect children's privacy, please understand that not all sites have to comply with these rules. While we have selected sites that we believe offer good, reliable information, we are not responsible for the content provided. Nor are we responsible for their adherence to Federal rules to protect children's privacy. It is important that you monitor your children's online communication to ensure that they do not provide personally identifiable information to websites that you feel are unacceptable. Tell your children to ask you or another adult to look at what they are doing first if they wish to give their name, address, phone number, or email address.
