This Privacy Policy applies to Web sites operated by Do You University, Inc. ("DYU"), including, without limitation www.DoYouUniversity.com.Please read this policy carefully before sharing any of your personally identifiable information with us.  DYU goes to great lengths to respect and protect your privacy. We promise that we will not knowingly share your contact information with a college, university, educational institution, sponsor or advertiser without your permission or as may be provided in this Privacy Policy.Because our services require us to collect some fairly detailed personal and/or financial information, we want you to have the information you need to make an informed decision about sharing information with us. This Privacy Policy will outline our practices and procedures we follow when handling information input through the DYU Platform.

1. TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Information is collected from our users at several different points during visits to the DYU Website or another service or event hosted or conducted via the DYU Website and/or Student Platform.
Registration - Each user must register in order to use the DYU website and/or or Platform. Registration at the DYU website also registers you to use of the DYU Platform. During the registration process, you are required or requested to provide certain information, such as name, address, phone number, e-mail address, password, date of birth, gender, country of citizenship, ethnic heritage/race, educational background, grades, test scores, class rank, high school, actual or anticipated high school graduation date, and extracurricular activities. In addition, you may choose to provide other information, such as intended major, colleges of interest, college preferences, educational attainment of your parents, career objectives, athletic pursuits, hobbies and other interests. This information may be updated and amended at any time after the initial registration. DYU encourages its users to provide these fields of information so you may maximize the effectiveness of the DYU Student Platform.

You may also elect to register for our service using an account you already have with certain third-party social networking sites ("SNS") (including, but not limited to, Facebook). For example, DYU allows you to create an account and login to DYU using your Facebook or Google account credentials through Facebook Connect, or Google+. If you are not currently registered as a user on DYU and you click on "Sign Up Using Facebook," you will first be asked to enter your Facebook credentials and then be given the option to register and join DYU.
During the registration process and certain other points when using DYU, you may be asked if you would like to receive information and/or marketing messages from third parties that have products or services which may be of interest to you. If you consent to receiving these messages, we may share your personally identifiable information with third parties to enable them to DIRECTLY contact you for these purposes. At any time, you may prospectively opt-out of DYU sharing your information with third parties for the third party's products and services by advising us in writing via email.

Collection of Information from Minors -DYU abides by federal law and the guidelines set up by the Federal Trade Commission regarding youth privacy. As such, DYU will not knowingly collect any personal information from or allow the registration of young people under the age of thirteen (13) years.

Inviting Parents, High School Counselors and References - You can choose to allow others to monitor your DYU account, such as parents, guardians, high school counselors, and references. If you choose to use this feature, we will ask you for that person's name and e-mail address and DYU will send him or her one or more e-mails inviting him or her to visit DYU to register and monitor your progress. By inviting these people to monitor your progress, you are granting permission to DYU to share the details of your profile with them. This information includes the personally-identifiable data such as name, address, phone number, e-mail address, grades, schools that are interested in you, scholarships you have saved, and other information you have provided to us or that we have collected.
Newsletter - If a user wishes to subscribe to any of our newsletters, we ask them to register by providing their contact information, including e-mail address, geographic information (ZIP code), and other information about themselves (such as high school student, parent, etc.). Newsletter recipients will also receive offers from time-to-time from DYU and select sponsors; however, you may opt-out of receiving these offers at any time by advising us via email.

Cookies and Web Site Information - We use "cookie" technology and web server logs to collect information about how our DYU Website is used by you and to customize advertising that you may see on the DYU Website and other sites with which we have a business relationship. We may also use cookies in connection with the DYU Platform and your participation in our future virtual events. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored by your web browser on your hard drive. The cookies allow our web servers to recognize the computer used by you to access our websites. Cookies allow you to move from page to page on our website, remembering the information about the entire session at the DYU Website. Information gathered through cookies and by our web server logs may include the date and time of visits, your IP address, the pages viewed, time spent at the DYU Website, and the Web sites visited just before and just after the DYU Website. This information may be appended to your personal information provided by you to us to help us provide you with better service and information. It also may be collected on an aggregate basis, and shared with or collected by third-party Web analytics services to help DYU understand our users' aggregated Web site usage patterns and related trends.

User Communications - When you send e-mail or other communications to DYU, we may retain those communications in order to process, respond or improve our services.

Chat Rooms, Peer to Peer Messaging and Public Postings - The DYU Website and Student Platform Service may initially and/or in the future contain chat rooms, public posting forums or one-to-one communication forums permitting direct communications with other users and sponsors of virtual events. Any information provided by you in these rooms or forum is deemed to be information available for public viewing, not subject to any disclosure restrictions or representations. We are not responsible for any information posted and/or viewed in such portions of our websites, or in any virtual event as part of the DYU Platform.

2. USE OF INFORMATION

In connection with the DYU Website, the information you supply to DYU enables us to provide the college search services which you select by matching your background to the admission requirements and/or preferred student backgrounds of colleges and universities. Participating colleges and universities may search the personally identifiable information of users (such as names, grade point averages or class standing, but not addresses) in order to decide which users they are interested in having apply for admission. DYU may also recommend students to certain colleges and universities, and may also recommend certain colleges and universities to students, and we will use a similar methodology to select which students should be informed of those opportunities. Except as provided in this Privacy Policy, we will not share any of your personally identifiable information with colleges or universities without your consent. If you appear to be a viable candidate for admission to a college or university, a notice will be placed in your message in-box on our website, and we will send you an e-mail that may contain a link to your message in-box. DYU may be compensated for these services, including for information we share with colleges and universities with your consent.

In addition, DYU uses your information in order to customize the DYU Website to your interests, enhance your overall experience, and customize advertising that you may see on the DYU Website and/or Platform. DYU uses various methods to recognize you, including the use of cookies and requesting your e-mail address and password before accessing our site. Once DYU recognizes you, pages, advertisements, including advertisements and offers, and other content is customized for you so that you can see what interests you the most. In addition, as described above, DYU utilizes passive information to learn more about how you interact with the DYU Website. This passive information may be combined with your other information for purposes such as testing and improving your experience at our site and the compilation of broad aggregate demographic data and related usage information for internal purposes and for disclosure to third parties such as advertisers and content and Web analytics partners. This aggregate passive information does not contain any personal information which can identify any individual user.

In connection with the DYU Platform, it also enables us to facilitate your participation in virtual online fairs, other events and also fosters communications between you and participating colleges and universities and other participants, sponsors or corporations.
Contacting You by E-Mail - DYU may use your contact information periodically in order to send you e-mail regarding updates at the DYU Website, such as new DYU opportunities and listings which may be of interest to you. The frequency of these messages will vary depending upon your profile, including the types of colleges and other activities you indicated having an interest in. You may receive e-mails from DYU and/or colleges and universities featured on the DYU Platform, and virtual events you participate in. Please note that e-mail messages from third parties are not governed by the opt-out provisions of this Privacy Policy.

Special Offers - We send all new users a welcome e-mail. You may also occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, or a newsletter from DYU and others. Out of respect for your privacy, you may opt out of receiving these types of communications such as these offers at any time.

Optional Information - At various other points during your visit to the DYU Website and/or in connection with attending a virtual event on the DYU Platform, you may be asked to provide information about yourself. For example, you may wish to participate in a survey or a contest, or apply to a scholarship. Participation in surveys, contests or scholarships or the use of other services which require the input of additional information is completely voluntary on your part, and you have the choice about whether to disclose the information necessary to use these features of the DYU Website. Personally identifiable information will be used to process entries, send promotional material, notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving use of and satisfaction with the DYU site. DYU may also conduct surveys on behalf of colleges, universities and other parties in order to provide them marketing and business information; provided however, none of your personally identifiable information will be shared as part of such surveys without your consent. A disclosure will be viewable by you prior to sharing your personally identifiable information in connection with a survey, contest or scholarship, where such information will be shared with a third party. Please be sure to consult the official rules of any contest or sweepstakes you enter on the DYU Website as specific data collection, usage, and information sharing practices may vary by contest and sweepstakes.

Use of SNS in Account Creation - If you decide to create your account by logging into a SNS via DYU, you are using the personal information you have already provided to the SNS (such as your "real" name, e-mail address and other information you make publicly available via the SNS) to create your user account on DYU; the information we collect may depend on the privacy settings you have with the SNS, so please consult the SNS's privacy and data practices. For example, by using Facebook Connect, or Google+ you are allowing DYU to access the personal information in your Facebook account pursuant to the Facebook Terms of Use regarding your use of DYU via Facebook.

3. SHARING OF INFORMATION

DYU will not knowingly sell, share, rent or otherwise transfer your information other than in accordance with the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Sharing Information with Colleges and Universities - During the registration process, and at certain points thereafter in connection with specific offers or use of the DYU Platform, DYU asks you whether information about you may be sent to third parties, including colleges, universities and sponsors who have products, services and opportunities which may be useful to you. Certain actions on the DYU Website - including, but not limited to, adding a college to your list, asking a college a question, and indicating you are planning to apply to a college - may also result in your information being shared with colleges. If you give your permission to allow third parties to contact you, personal information about you (such as your contact information and other information collected during your visit to DYU) may be shared with colleges, universities and other organizations. Regardless of your decision regarding the sharing of your personal information, we reserve the right to share aggregate demographic data and related usage information with our business partners and university and college users. Such aggregate information will not contain any personal information which can identify any individual user. Please see Section 2 this Privacy Policy on the sharing of information with colleges and universities in connection with surveys, contests or scholarships, and (ii) Section 6 of this Privacy Policy on the sharing of information with respect to the DYU Website and/or Platform. DYU may be compensated for information you authorize to be shared with colleges, universities and sponsors.

Parents, Counselors and Advisors - DYU permits you to share access to your account with parents, guardians, school counselors or other trusted advisors. If you permit such access, an e-mail will be sent to such persons who, if they are not already registered at DYU, will, after registering at the DYU Website and creating a password, have full or partial access to your account and personally identifiable information. If they are already registered with DYU, as may be the case of a high school counselor for example, and you grant them access, such access will be immediate. Thereafter, we will share with such persons your profile, messages to you about colleges and universities, and other information relating to you so they may assist you in making one of the most important decisions of your life.

Third-Party Service Providers - From time to time, DYU may decide that it is more efficient to use third parties to perform specific services, such as sending newsletters to DYU's users or software programmers and software vendors. If we use a third party to provide specific services (such as sending newsletters to our users on our behalf), then personally identifiable information (such as contact information) may be shared with that party to the extent necessary for such third party service provider to provide these services. These third party service providers are only allowed to use personally identifiable information only for the purpose of providing the specific services requested by DYU. These third party service providers have agreed to hold and use your confidential information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. The third party services covered by this paragraph do not include links to third party sites found on our site, which are governed by a more specific provision below.

Lucky Orange Web Analytics Service - DYU uses the Lucky Orange analytics system to help improve usability and the customer experience. Lucky Orange may record mouse clicks, mouse movements and scrolling activity. Lucky Orange does not track this activity on any site that does not use the Lucky Orange system. You can choose to disable the Lucky Orange Service at http://www.luckyorange.com/disable.php. Note, that doing so will disable other features of the Lucky Orange system that the DYU Website employs such as 1-to-1 support chat.

Scholarship Administrators - If you applied for a scholarship via the DYU Website and/or Platform, your profile information may be shared with a third-party scholarship administrator to select scholarship recipients. If you are selected as a scholarship winner, a third-party scholarship administrator will contact you directly to verify your profile information, including, but not necessarily limited to, obtaining copies of academic transcripts, proof of financial need if required, or any other documentation that DYU or the scholarship administrator requires to award the scholarship and disburse funds to your college or university.

Social Networking Sites (“SNS”) - We allow you to link your Facebook, Google+ or Twitter account to your DYU account, through Facebook Connect, Codeigniter or CometChat technology. You can then post recent activity on the DYU Website back to their Facebook account. You will be prompted to decide whether or not your activity on DYU will be shared and disclosed on your Facebook account. Use of this feature is entirely optional. Any information shared with SNS is subject to the SNS' Privacy Policy. We may in the future permit you to link other social networking sites to your DYU account, in which event your information shared with such social networking site would be subject to the social networking site's privacy policy.

Other Third Parties - If you have given DYU permission to allow third parties to contact you, personal information about you (such as contact information and other information about you) may be shared with schools, potential employers and recruiters, data aggregators, advertisers, marketers (possibly in the form of list rental) and others. Please review Section 7 below for further information on this subject.

Links to Other Sites - You may find on the DYU Website links to third party websites in a format that enables us to keep track of where those links have been followed.
