Web Site Users
College Prowler generally collects personally identifiable information such as a name, postal address,
E-mail address, telephone number, or credit card information with your specific knowledge and consent.
How does the Web site use information supplied by me?
Occasionally, visitors to our Web site may be asked to supply certain personally identifying information,
which is then retained by College Prowler. For example, we ask you for certain information if you choose
to subscribe to our E-mail newsletters, our online discussion forums, or our premium online content. If
you choose to give us personally identifying information at such time, such information will be retained by
us and used only to provide you with products or services you have requested, or with additional information
from College Prowler about College Prowler, its affiliates, or selected outside companies whose products or
services we feel may be of use to you. Any information from selected outside companies will be transmitted by
College Prowler so that such companies will not have access either to your E-mail address or to your other
personally identifying information. Moreover, we will not sell or rent any personally identifying information
obtained through the Web site to any other company or organization.
If, at some point after giving College Prowler your personally identifying information, you do not wish to continue
to receive additional information from College Prowler about College Prowler, its affiliates, or selected outside
companies, in general, you may opt out by E-mailing support@collegeprowler.com and put the words "remove my name" in the subject line of your E-mail; in the case of our E-mail newsletters, you may opt out by clicking on the "opt out" link at the end of each E-mail.
From time to time, the personally identifying information that you provide to us may be shared with our suppliers or
service providers who assist us in maintaining and managing our newsletters, our archives, our premium online content,
our online discussion forums, and other activities on the Web site. Such suppliers or service providers may use your
personally identifying information only in the course of providing services to College Prowler, but they may not use
such information for other purposes.
While your individual information is protected as discussed above, College Prowler reserves the right to use such
individual information to create aggregated, anonymous data about users in order to develop statistics about activity
on and visitors to the Web site. In addition, College Prowler may disclose personal information if we in good faith
believe that such action is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with legal process; (2) protect and defend our rights
and property; (3) protect against misuse or unauthorized use of the Web site; or (4) protect the personal safety, property,
or rights of our users or the public.
College Prowler Scholarship Applicants

If after opting in you no longer wish to receive additional information from College Prowler, its affiliates, or trusted business partners you may opt out by E-mailing support@collegeprowler.com and put the words "remove my name" in the subject line of the E-mail; in the case of our E-mail newsletters, you may opt out by clicking on the "opt out" link at the end of each E-mail.
What are "cookies" and how do you use them?
"Cookies" are pieces of information that are placed by a Web site in a storage place on your computer. Cookies do not
contain information that is, in itself, personally identifying. Cookies are placed on your computer in a limited way
to help deliver advertisements, to calculate unique site visitors, and to track usage throughout our site. Other uses
include placement of cookies to make the login process more convenient for users of our E-mail newsletters, our archives,
our premium online content, and our online discussion forums. In addition, some advertisers may place cookies on your
computer. We do not have control over cookies placed by advertisers.
In addition, we contract with certain third parties to help manage and optimize our Web site business, including the following:
We use the services of a third party marketing company, Elliance, to help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising and
how visitors use the Web site. To do this, we use Web beacons and cookies provided by this third party marketing company at
this Web site. This information helps us learn things like what pages are most attractive to our visitors, which of our
products most interest our customers, and what kinds of offers our customers like to see. You can "opt-out" of our ability
to analyze such Elliance data by emailing, support@collegeprowler.com.
How is my credit card information used when I make a purchase?
When you make a purchase, we ask you to provide your credit card information so that we can process your payment. During
the ordering process, such credit card information is transmitted to College Prowler (in the case of our premium online
content) or (in the case of our archives, subscriptions, and mail order products) to one of our suppliers or service providers.
In both cases, credit card information is then transmitted to third-party credit card processors and card issuers that must
use your information to process your order.
College Prowler Customers
From time to time, College Prowler is approached by third parties interested in contacting our readers, people who have
purchased a book through our site or a premium online service. Perhaps they are in a similar business or have a product
to offer that would interest our subscribers. We may provide our mailing list of readers to such third parties if we
believe our readers would be interested in hearing from them. Many of our readers find this a valuable and timesaving
service. If you have bought a guide from us and want us to exclude your name from mailing lists provided to third
parties, mail a letter to the address below, or E-mail us at the address below with your request. Please specify that
you would like your name removed from the mailing list, and include your full name and address or the address label from
your magazine. Mail your request to: College Prowler, Mailing List, Pittsburgh, PA. 15213 or send an E-mail to
support@collegeprowler.com. Please allow six to eight weeks for your
request to take effect.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
No one under the age of 13 should provide any personal information. In general, College Prowler does not knowingly collect
personally identifiable information from children under 13. If in limited circumstances we do knowingly collect personally
identifiable information from children under the age of 13, we will do so only with verified parental consent prior to
collection. In the event that we learn that we have collected information from a child under the age of 13 without verification
of parental consent, we will delete this information from our database as quickly as possible. If you believe the Web site has
any information about anyone under 13, please contact us at
