Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Will RaiseMe Share Any of the Personal Information it Receives?

No. We do not disclose your Personal Information, combined Personal and demographic information, or information about your use of RaiseMe to third parties, except as set forth below.

Information that's been de-identified. We may de-identify your Personal Information so that you are not identified as an individual and provide that information to our partners. We may also provide aggregate usage information to our partners (or allow partners to collect that information from you), who may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use our Services so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online experience.

Colleges: If you are a Student, you may share your Personal Information with a College by taking certain actions on the RaiseMe site, including, but not limited to, submitting your Micro-Scholarships for redemption, applying to specific programs and scholarships, or adding a College to your list of followed Colleges. If you provide your email address or mobile phone number and are following a college, you have indicated interest in the college through RaiseMe, and it is possible that the college may contact you directly via email or SMS (outside of the RaiseMe platform). You can always request directly to the college to opt out of any direct communication from them. Colleges are responsible for managing their messaging outside of RaiseMe through email and/or SMS, as well as the opt-in or opt-out process for students to receive those messages.

Parents, Counselors, Guardians, and Advisors: RaiseMe may permit Students to share access to their accounts with parents, guardians, school counselors, or other trusted advisors. If a Student permits such access, the permitted individuals will have access to the Student's account and Personal Information contained in the account. These additional users accessing the account agree to our Terms of Use by accessing the account. Counselors, Advisors and other school officials will be able to view certain Personal Information of other school officials at their institution, such as the school official’s name, title and email.

Non-Profit & Corporate Scholarship Administrators: If you apply for a Micro-Scholarship sponsored by a non-College third party, such as a non-profit or corporation, your profile information may be shared with a third-party scholarship administrator to select scholarship recipients. The third-party scholarship administrator may 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 RaiseMe or the scholarship administrator requires to award the scholarship and disburse funds to you or your College.

Sponsors: If you follow a Sponsor, that Sponsor will receive access to your individual profile.

Affiliated Businesses and Third Party Services: In certain situations, businesses or third party websites we're affiliated with may sell or provide products or services to you through or in connection with the Services (either alone or jointly with us). We will share your Personal Information with that affiliated business only to the extent that it is related to such transaction or service. One such service may include the ability for you to automatically transmit Third Party Account Information to your RaiseMe profile or to automatically transmit information in your RaiseMe profile to your third party account; for example, we may permit you to "like" content within our Services or "share" content to other web sites, such as Facebook or Twitter. If you choose to "like" or "share" content or to otherwise post information from or via the Services to a third party website, feature, or application, that information may be publicly displayed, and the third party website may have access to information about you and your use of our Services. In addition, certain third party partners may use cookies, web beacons, and other storage technologies to collect or receive information from you via our website and elsewhere on the Internet and may use that information to provide measurement services, to target ads, or generally to improve the nature or quality of the services that they provide. We have no control over the policies and practices of third party websites or businesses as to privacy or anything else, so if you choose to take part in any transaction or service relating to or involving an affiliated website or business, please review all such businesses' or websites' policies.

Agents and Business Partners: We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you; for example, we may use a service provider to send newsletters to our Users. We also may partner with or hire other businesses to help us grow or improve our Services and may need to share your information with them. Except as disclosed in this Privacy Policy, unless we tell you differently, our agents and partners do not have any right to use the Personal Information we share with them for their own purposes beyond their relationship with us.

User Profiles and Submissions: Certain profile information, including your name, location, and any video or image content that you have uploaded to the Services, may be displayed to other Users. Please remember that any content you upload to your public user profile, along with any Personal Information or content that you voluntarily disclose online in a manner other Users can view (on discussion boards, in messages and chat areas, etc.), becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by anyone.

Business Transfers: We may choose to buy or sell assets, and may share and/or transfer customer information in connection with the evaluation of and entry into such transactions. Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.

Protection of RaiseMe and Others: We reserve the right to access, read, preserve, and disclose any information that we believe is necessary to comply with law or court order; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of RaiseMe, our employees, our Users, or others.
