CollegeDough.com may use information in your profile without identifying you as an individual to third parties. We do this for purposes such as determining how many people are interested in a school, scholarship, personalizing advertisements, and promotions so that we can provide you with benefits we believe you need or seek.

We may provide information to service providers to help us bring you the services we offer. Specifically, we may use third parties to facilitate our business in hosting the service at a co-location facility for servers, in sending out email updates about CollegeDough.com, in removing repetitive information from our user lists, in processing payments for products or services, or in providing search results or links (including sponsored links). In connection with these offerings and business operations, our service providers may have access to your personal information for use for a limited time in connection with these business activities. Where we utilize third parties for the processing of any personal information, we implement reasonable contractual and technical protections limiting the use of that information to the CollegeDough.com-specified purposes.

Third parties who agree to abide by the CollegeDough.com Terms of Service, including restrictions on access, storage and use of such data, may have limited access to your personal information. We have undertaken contractual and technical steps to restrict possible misuse of such information by such third parties, but of course cannot and do not guarantee that all third parties will abide by such agreements. Please report any suspected misuse of information to info@CollegeDough.com and we will investigate any such claim and take appropriate action against the third party.

We occasionally provide demonstration accounts that allow non-users a glimpse into the CollegeDough.com world. Such accounts have only limited capabilities (e.g., messaging is disabled) and passwords are changed regularly to limit possible misuse.

We may be required to disclose user information pursuant to lawful requests, such as subpoenas or court orders, or in compliance with applicable laws. We do not reveal information until we have a good faith belief that an information request by law enforcement or private litigants meets applicable legal standards. Additionally, we may share account or other information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, to protect our interests or property, to prevent fraud or other illegal activity perpetrated through the CollegeDough.com service or using the CollegeDough.com name, or to prevent imminent bodily harm. This may include sharing information with other companies, lawyers, agents or government agencies.
