Our Privacy Policy was developed as an extension of our commitment to combine the highest-quality
products and services with the highest level of integrity in dealing with our
visitors, members and partners. It is designed not only to assist you in understanding
how we
collect, use and safeguard the personal information you provide to us, but
also to help you in making informed decisions when using our site and our products
and services. This
Privacy Policy will be continually assessed against new technologies, business
practices, and our customers’ needs.

As described below, some of your personally identifiable information will be used by
us and shared with third parties. By using our web site, you expressly consent
to our use of your personal information, and also to the disclosure to and use
by third parties
of this information. You acknowledge that communications to, from and through
the Career Explorer family of web sites are not confidential. You agree that
by submitting communications
through the Career Explorer family of web sites, no confidential, fiduciary,
contractually implied or other relationship is created between you and CounselorCompanion.com other than
pursuant to this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is incorporated in and
subject to the terms and conditions of our Terms and Conditions.

13 years of age can use our web site. If you are a minor between the ages of 13 and 18,

What Information Do We Collect?

The goal of the Career Explorer family of web sites is to be your favorite college
search destination on the Internet by providing you with the information, services
and product offerings
that are most relevant to you. To achieve this goal, we collect two types of
information from you when you visit our site: personally identifiable information
you voluntarily
choose to disclose, and aggregate information about your use of our site
that is automatically collected when you visit our web site.

1. Personally Identifiable Information You Choose to Provide:
   Personally identifiable information refers to information that tells us specifically who
   you are. Personal information is collected when you voluntarily choose to request information
   from a school that is listed on our site. As a site user, you are asked to provide certain
   basic information such as your name, current e-mail address and programs of interest.
   You may also provide additional personal information at your option. Further, 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.
2. Aggregate Information:
   Aggregate information refers to information your computer automatically provides to us
   that cannot be tied back to you as a specific individual. Examples include referral
   data (the web sites you visited just before and just after our web site) the date and
   time of your visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our web site, browser and platform
   type (e.g. a Netscape browser on a Macintosh platform), and IP (Internet Protocol) address.
   An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you
   surf the Web. When you request a page from one of our sites, our servers log your IP
   address to create aggregate reports on user demographics and traffic patterns for advertisers
   and partners, and for purposes of system administration. This allows these parties to
   advertise more effectively, and allows you to receive advertisements that are most relevant
   to your personal interests.
3. Cookies:
   The Career Explorer family of web sites, along with thousands of other web sites, uses
   standard technologies such as cookies and web server logs to enhance your web viewing
   experience. Cookies and web server logs automatically track certain information about
   you that is based upon your activity on our site. A cookie is a small piece of data transferred
   from a web site to the hard drive of your computer so that the web site may track your
   activities on the site. Web server logs allow us to count how many people visit our web
   site and also to evaluate our site’s visitor capacity.

   Each time you access our site, our server may deliver certain customized information to
   you based on the data stored in your cookies. Cookies allow us to determine which areas
   and features of our site are most popular by measuring user activity. The information in
   the cookies lets us trace the paths followed by users as they move from one page to another.
   Cookies let sites and advertisers "remember" users across pages of a site and
   across multiple visits to a site. This allows e-commerce and Internet advertising to personalize
   features such as targeted news stories, provide shopping sessions and quick navigation
   across multiple zones of e-commerce sites, remember user names and passwords for future
   visits, control ad frequency or the number of times a user sees a given ad, and deliver
   advertisements targeted to a user’s interests. Your computer may occasionally receive cookies
   from our advertisers. CounselorCompanion.com does not control these cookies, and they
   are not subject to our Privacy Policy. You can disable cookies, but access to certain parts
   of our web site may no longer be available to you.

How Do We Use The Personal Information That You Provide To Us?

Broadly speaking, your personal information is used to help match your interests with
schools that provide the training you seek. If your search yields no results, we may
store your information and send you updates if and when programs you specified do become
available.

We also use personal information for purposes of administering our business activities,
providing customer service, and making available other products and services
to our customers and prospective customers. Occasionally, we may also use the information
we collect to
notify you about important changes to our web site, new services, and special
offers we think you will find valuable.

Sharing Information With Co-Brand Service Providers

CounselorCompanion.com offers a number of third party services from our site.
If you choose to use these optional services, we may provide some of your personally
identifiable information to the co-brand service provider offering such services.
Conversely, the co-brand service provider may provide CounselorCompanion.com with personal information
about you.

Sharing Information With Affiliated Businesses, Strategic Partners, Subsidiaries,
Advertisers And Other Third Parties

We may enter into strategic marketing alliances with third parties such as advertisers,
businesses, strategic partners and subsidiaries, who may be given access to
your personal information, including your name, address, and e-mail, for the
purpose of providing you
with information about products and services that may be of interest to you.
Advertisers and other third parties may place cookies on your browser when you
visit
our site. CounselorCompanion.com has no control over what third parties do with this information.
Further, we cannot and do not make any representations about the practices and
policies of these
companies.

Information Collected In Ad Delivery

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies
may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to
measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via
cookies and action tags is completely anonymous.

Notice Of New Services And Changes

Occasionally, we may also use the information we collect to notify you about important
changes to our web site, new services, and special offers we think you will
find valuable.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal
information we collect. This software provides a limited degree of protection against
unauthorized access or disclosure, as well as accidental loss, alteration, or destruction.

Do We Comply With Legally Compelled Disclosure Of Information?

We may release any private information about you that we possess when we believe release
is appropriate to comply with the law, to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions,
Privacy Policy and/or other agreements, or to protect the rights, property or
safety of CounselorCompanion.com, our site users, or others.
