California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
Effective date: [EFFECTIVE DATE — set before publishing]
This notice supplements our Privacy Policy and applies only to California residents ("consumers"), as required by the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the "CCPA"). It describes the personal information we collect and how California residents can exercise their rights. It does not apply to personal information exempt from the CCPA, including certain information governed by FERPA.
Categories of Personal Information We Collect
In the preceding 12 months, we may have collected the following categories of personal information (as defined by the CCPA):
- Identifiers — such as name, postal address, email address, phone number, IP address, and online identifiers;
- Customer records — contact and demographic details you provide;
- Protected classifications — such as age or gender, where you choose to provide them;
- Commercial information — records of transactions such as gifts or event registrations;
- Internet or network activity — browsing and interaction with our sites;
- Geolocation data — general location derived from IP address;
- Professional or education information — where relevant to admissions or employment;
- Inferences — drawn from the above to reflect preferences and interests; and
- Sensitive personal information — [confirm whether any is collected; e.g., account log-in credentials — otherwise state none].
Sources of Personal Information
We collect personal information directly from you, automatically through your use of our sites, and from third parties such as analytics and marketing providers, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Purposes for Collecting Personal Information
We use personal information for the business and commercial purposes described in the "How We Use Your Information" section of our Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, processing applications, operating and improving our sites, communications, analytics, security, and legal compliance.

In the preceding 12 months, we may have disclosed the categories of personal information listed above to service providers and contractors for business purposes, and to third parties as described in our Privacy Policy.
Sale or Sharing of Personal Information
We do not sell personal information for money. We may "share" certain identifiers and internet activity information with advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising, which may be considered "sharing" (and in some cases a "sale") under the CCPA. [Confirm current advertising/analytics practices and update this statement accordingly before publishing.] We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
