This statement discloses the privacy practices for www.SCHOOLDU.com. When you visit www.SCHOOLDU.com, you can expect to be notified of: what personally identifiable information of yours is collected; what organization is collecting the information; how the information is used; with whom the information may be shared; what choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution of the information; what kind of security procedures are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under the company's control; and how you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

SCHOOLDU is the publisher of the www.SCHOOLDU.com web site. SCHOOLD U has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for this Web Site: www.SCHOOLDU.com
Web Statistics, Cookies & Links
SCHOOLD U uses "session cookies" while a visitor is making a donation. "Cookies" are bits of information that are stored by your browser on your hard drive. We use "session cookies" so that we can properly verify a donor's identity as they move from one donation page to the next. For our nonprofits, we use "session cookies" and "persistent cookies" in addition to verifying personal information, so that we can provide secure access to donor information. These session cookies are not linked to personally identifiable information.
The statistics program on our web server collects aggregate information on what pages consumers' access or visit which we use for internal review and to improve the content of our web site. Like most web site administrators we use log files that record information such as Internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and page navigation. IP addresses that are recorded by our log files are not linked to personally identifiable information. This information is not personal information.

We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.

Each charity has its own policies regarding privacy of donor information. Please contact the charity you contribute to directly to learn about their privacy policies. Before you confirm your donation through the SCHOOLD U giving system, you may be asked what information you wish to be shared with the recipient charity(ies). You may have a choice of: full contact information, name and email address only, or no personal information (anonymous). SCHOOLD U respects donor privacy and only shares information with donor consent. For example, when a donor has asked to remain anonymous, no information is shared with the charity - we simply confirm that a donation has been made.
