PRIVACY POLICY

AthletePrep, LLC ("AthletePrep," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of our students and their families, and we treat any information you share with discretion, care and respect.

What types of personal and non-personal information do we gather online and offline?

We will collect both personally identifiable and non-personally identifiable information on the Site and in the Program and through offline interactions.

What about Children’s Privacy?

Children’s privacy is important to us. We are committed to safeguarding children’s personal information collected online, and to helping parents and their children learn how to exercise control over personal information while exploring the Site and the Program, specifically, and the Internet, generally. We will collect personally identifiable information from children on the Site and in the Program.

How do we use the personal information that we gather?

We will use the person information we gather online to run the admission algorithms and financial calculators in the Program and to assess the accuracy and validity of the Program’s algorithms, calculators, and displayed results.

Who can see the financial information that I input into the Program?

We will only use the personal financial information we gather online to run the admission financial calculators in the Program and to assess the accuracy and validity of the Program&rquo;s calculators, and displayed results. None of this personal financial information is available for anyone to view other than those you share your log-in credentials with. No Club or Organization Administrators will have access to any of this detailed personal financial information. Club or Organization Administrators will have access to see the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) which is calculated using the personal financial information by the FAFSA and PROFILE financial aid calculators. The EFC is used to calculate your Likely Aid Amount and Estimated Real Cost, both of which can be seen by Club or Organization Administrators.

How is non-personally identifiable data used?

We use non-personally identifiable data for internal business and marketing purposes, and share such data with third parties, including current or potential business partners. For example, we occasionally use information about what banners or links have brought you to the Site to measure online advertising effectiveness and to determine payment to our online advertising partners. We also use non-personally identifiable data to assess the accuracy and validity of the Program’s algorithms, calculators, and displayed results.

What about cookies and gifs?

We do not use cookies or gifs to retrieve personal information about you from your computer.

Do we disclose your personally identifiable information to third parties?

While we do collect personally-identifiable information from the Site and the Program, except as set forth below, we do not disclose personally identifiable information to third parties.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Privacy Policy, specifically, or in this Use and Privacy Agreement, generally, we may disclose personal and aggregate information: (a) to a third party that is charged with determining the accuracy and validity of the Program’s algorithms, calculators, and/or displayed results; (b) when required by a valid legal mechanism such as a search warrant, subpoena, or court, governmental or administrative order, or when we deem it necessary to protect the integrity of the Site and/or the Program, the safety of users of the Site and/or the Program, AthletePrep employees, or AthletePrep property; and (c) to third parties and advisors in the context of the sale of some or all of AthletePrep’s assets or other transfer of AthletePrep’s business. In events such as those set forth in (c) hereof, AthletePrep may retain a copy of the transferred information.
