Therefore, the following privacy policy has been put together to inform you, the user, about what we do when we collect personal information from you. If there are any questions about this Privacy Policy, please email them to webmaster@campusphilly.org. Alternatively, you can contact us at Campus Philly, International House, 3701 Chestnut St., 6th Floor East, Philadelphia, PA 19104.

Information Collection and Use

Campus Philly, as the owner and operator of this site, is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this Privacy Policy.

We collect information from our users at several different points on our site, and offline at events, and we store this information in our database. We use the information that we collect from you to provide the features available on this site, for development of new features and services, and to otherwise improve this site, as well as for systems administration and troubleshooting purposes.

GPCTP also uses this information to monitor the progress of our mission, and for related research purposes. While we may reveal aggregate statistics about our database (for example, the percentage of Campus Philly users who are in college), your individual, personal information will never be shared, rented or sold to any of our partners or third parties except as described in the below section titled "Sharing."

Registration

This site has different types of users. When we say "users", we mean people who surf the web site. When we say "registered users" or "members", we mean those users that also have filled out the Campus Philly registration form to join our mailing lists, receive discounts, post to message boards or receive other membership benefits.

When you register on this site, you will be required to provide the following information: user login ID, your name, email address, school, graduation term, graduation year, date of birth, gender, zip code, type of program, degree/major, occupation and home state/country. You will also have the option to make your profile private by checking the appropriate box. None of our employees will ever ask you for your password, and you should never release your password to a third party.

In addition, you may choose to provide us with optional information, including the ability to add: a photo, personal quote, chat name, personal homepage, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, up to 3 leadership positions and other interests. It is to your advantage to provide us with all of your information so that we have the opportunity to provide you with the best service possible. In the future, we may use this information in order to tailor your experience so that, for example, everyone in your neighborhood might hear about a local event. Knowing more about our users helps us to plan site features better suited to your tastes.

Registered users can update, change, or delete personal information by going to the "profile" section after the "member login." If you experience any difficulties, you can contact webmaster@campusphilly.org.

Sharing

campusphilly.org's business practice is to not reveal the names and contact information of our users to third parties. This means that any direct e-mail promotions you may opt into will always be delivered by campusphilly.org directly. We may choose to allow promotional partners to contact you, through our system, with your consent on the registration form, but such activity is monitored internally and no personal information is revealed to the partner in the process.

We do not permit any user, partner or member to identify your e-mail address. We also do not permit any user, partner or third party to identify any other personal information unless you have granted permission for it to be displayed on your profile posted on the Site. Campus Philly, at its sole discretion, will suspend or ban members who violate another user's rights or privacy. Please realize that we are unable to thoroughly monitor all content submitted by members to the web site. If you want to report any abuses, you can write to webmaster@campusphilly.org or call 215-746-4757.

We may reveal to a third party your name, email address or member name without your consent if such disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable Federal, state or local laws or to our protect our interests or property. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, credit bureaus, agents or government agencies in connection with issues related to fraud, credit or debt collection.

We may disclose to third parties statistics such as your zip code, gender and/or age, education level, or other registered data or preferences, but ONLY in aggregate form. This means that your name or identification will not be associated with such disclosures, but rather a third party may receive information that is not personally identifiable. For example, NOBODY will know that you like to buy FUBU clothing and attend concerts twice a month, but we may disclose that, for example, 35% of our users buy FUBU clothing and attend concerts twice a month.

You may provide your consent for any information sharing on our registration forms. We may also allow access to personal information in our database, only if necessary, to third parties who provide services available on or through this site, such as email services, but only to the extent necessary to provide you with those services. Any third party using your personal information to provide such services will be bound by the remaining provisions of this privacy policy.

The information gathered may be shared with corporate affiliates of Campus Philly. Users should understand that this policy is subject to change, and any changes will be posted on our mailing list and web site http://www.campusphilly.org/ as they might occur. Users should also understand that this policy may or may not survive in the case that the property of the information collected on this site should permanently change in ownership, in which case the user base will be notified as remarked above.

Information Collected from Children

We care about the safety of children on this site and encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children's use of the Internet. We believe that users under the age of 13 should get their parents' or guardians' consent before giving out any personal information. We will not knowingly maintain or share with third parties any personal information provided by users who indicate that they are under the age of 13, nor do we knowingly send any direct email offers to users who indicate that they are under the age of 13. Moreover, no information collected from users who indicate that they are under the age of 13 is knowingly used for any marketing or promotional purposes whatsoever, except as stated in this Privacy Policy. Campus Philly adheres to all stipulations of the Child Privacy Act and any relevant local, state or federal laws governing matters of use by children and minors.

Accordingly, if we become aware that a user under the age of 13 is attempting to use any feature of this site or any product or service available on this site that requires him or her to provide us with any personal information, we will ask that user to provide the email address of his or her parent or guardian. We will then send that parent or guardian an email from us alerting them to the child's activities. We will not knowingly permit that child from continuing such activities until we receive the appropriate consent of his or her parent or guardian.

Removing or Revising Personal Information

If you would like to remove or revise any of the personal information that you provided to us, send us an email at webmaster@campusphilly.org.

Cookies

Our site may use cookies. Cookies are a tool used to differentiate between visits to a web site by "marking" visitor's movements. By storing a piece of information in the visitor's browser, cookies accomplish this. Cookies can store database information, custom page settings, or just about anything that would make a site individual and customizable.

Log Files

We use IP addresses to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information. Collecting information about site traffic enables us to best prepare the site to meet the general needs of our user base.

Links

This site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every site that collects personally identifiable information. This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected by this site.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address. If at anytime you would like to stop receiving our newsletter, you can go the profile section at www.campusphilly.org. If this does not work, please email webmaster@campusphilly.org. We may choose to sell advertisements for or send promotional e-mails to our mailing list, but at no point will we give any user addresses on our list to a third party, except to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Federal, state or local laws or as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy.

Surveys and Contests From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and shipping address), and demographic information (such as zip code, age level, and entertainment preferences). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.

Tell-A-Friend

If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's email address. We will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. We store this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact us at webmaster@campusphilly.org to request the removal of this information from our database.

Security

We have implemented a number of security features throughout this site to prevent the unauthorized release of or access to the personal information that we collect. For example, only authorized personnel have access to any stored personal information. Please be advised, however, that although we have endeavored to create a secure and reliable site for you, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from this site cannot be guaranteed. When disclosing any personal information, you should remain mindful of the fact that it is potentially accessible to the public and, consequently, can be potentially collected and used by others without your consent. You should therefore consider carefully if you want to submit sensitive information that you would not want disclosed to the public. You should also recognize that your use of the Internet and this site is solely at your own risk. You agree that we have no responsibility or liability for the security of personal information transmitted via the Internet. Nevertheless, we urge you to exercise caution when conveying personal information over the Internet.

Notification of Changes

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our Homepage and on our mailing list so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Please check this site from time to time for information about revisions to our privacy policy.
