A special note to California Residents: Effective July 2004, the California Online Privacy Protection Act requires us to conspicuously post our privacy policy on our website that complies with certain prescribed disclosures if we are going to be collecting personally identifiable information from a California resident. Our privacy policy does contain the following in order to comply with said California law:
(1) identify the categories of Personally Identifiable Information that the operator collects through the web site or online service and the categories of third-party persons or entities with whom the operator may share Personally Identifiable Information;
(2) describe how a consumer can review and make changes to his or her personally identifiable information, if the operator allows such review and changes;
(3) describe how consumers can learn of changes in the operator's privacy policy; and
(4) identify the effective date of the privacy policy.
Throughout this Privacy Policy you will specifically find the exact information which responds to these four requirements of California Law.
We store and use the information you give us in accordance with the terms of this Policy. Our registration form requests that you provide certain contact and profile information (like your name, e-mail address, postal address, and phone number). Some of the requested information is required in order to receive College Degree Directory, INC, Inc.’s Services; other information is optional. The required information is indicated as such on the registration pages of the College Degree Directory, INC, Inc. web site. Depending on the specific College Degree Directory, INC, Inc.

We also collect information such as the identification of the server your computer is logged onto (the IP address) and whether you opened a College Degree Directory, INC, Inc. e-mail delivered to you. We also may compare our customer list to lists received from other companies, in an effort to avoid sending identical messages to our members.
