You can choose whether or not to allow the Services to collect information through other tracking technologies by contacting us at info@collegeboundlegal.com. If you disable or refuse cookies or similar tracking files, some Services features may be inaccessible or not function properly. Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting that can send a signal to the online services you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked.

Location Data. You can choose whether or not to allow the Services to collect and use real-time information about your device's location through the device's privacy settings. If you block the use of location information, some Services features may become inaccessible or not function properly.
Your State Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residency, you may have certain rights related to your personal data, including:
-
Access and Data Portability. You may confirm whether we process your personal data and access a copy of the personal data we process.

Important: The exact scope of these rights vary by state. There are also several exceptions where we may not have an obligation to fulfill your request.
To exercise any of these rights, please email us at info@collegeboundlegal.com. To appeal a decision regarding a consumer rights request please contact your state.
Some browsers and browser extensions support the Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) that can send a signal to process your request to opt out from certain types of data processing, including data "sales" as defined under certain laws. When we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices indicated by a GPC setting as required by applicable law.
Nevada provides its residents with a limited right to opt out of certain personal data sales. Residents who wish to exercise their sale opt-out rights may submit a request. However, please know we do not currently sell data triggering that statute's opt-out requirements.
If you are a California resident, additional information applies to you. To access our supplemental California privacy statement and learn more about California residents' privacy rights, see below.
How We Protect Your Personal Data
We use commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect your personal data from accidental loss or destruction and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.

Any transmission of personal data is at your own risk.

We keep the categories of personal data described in this policy for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described or for as otherwise legally permitted or required, such as maintaining the Services, operating our organization, complying with our legal obligations, resolving disputes, and for safety, security, and fraud prevention. This means that we consider our legal and business obligations, potential risks of harm, and nature of the information when deciding how long to retain personal data.

Your Rights and Choices
If you are a California resident, the CCPA grants you the following rights regarding your personal information:
Right to Know and Data Portability Requests
You have the right to request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information (the "right to know"), including the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you (a "data portability request"). Our response will cover the 12-month period preceding the request, although we will honor requests to cover longer periods that do not extend past January 1, 2022, unless doing so would be impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You may exercise your right to know twice in any 12-month period. Once we receive your request and confirm your identity (see How to Exercise Your Rights), we will disclose to you:
-
The categories of:
-
personal information we collected about you; and
-
sources from which we collected your personal information.
-
-
The business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information and, if applicable, selling or sharing your personal information.
-
If applicable, the categories of persons, including third parties, to whom we disclosed your personal information, including separate disclosures identifying the categories of your personal information that we:
-
disclosed for a business purpose to each category of persons; and
-
sold or shared to each category of third parties.
-
-
When your right to know submission includes a data portability request, a copy of your personal information, subject to any permitted redactions.
For more on exercising this right, see Exercising the Rights to Know, Delete or Correct or Access ADMT.
Right to Delete and Right to Correct
You have the right to request that we delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained, subject to certain exceptions and limitations (the "right to delete"). Once we receive your request and confirm your identity, we will delete your personal information from our systems unless an exception allows us to retain it. We will also notify our service providers, contractors, and other recipients to take appropriate action.
You also have the right to request correction of personal information we maintain about you that you believe is inaccurate (the "right to correct"). We may require you to provide documentation, if needed, to confirm your identity and support your claim that the information is inaccurate. Unless an exception applies, we will correct personal information that our review determines is inaccurate and notify our service providers, contractors, and other recipients to take appropriate action.
For more on exercising these rights, see Exercising the Rights to Know, Delete or Correct or Access ADMT.
Right to Limit Sensitive Personal Information Use and Disclosure to Permitted SPI Purposes
You have a right to ask businesses that use or disclose your sensitive personal information to limit those actions to just the CCPA's Permitted SPI Purposes (the "right to limit"). As we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information beyond the CCPA's Permitted SPI Purposes, we do not currently provide this consumer right/Once we receive your valid request, we will limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information to the Permitted SPI Purposes. For more on exercising this right, see Exercise the Right to Limit or Opt-Out, or Appeal an ADMT Decision.
For more on the Permitted SPI Purposes and our additional use purposes, see Sensitive Personal Information Use and Disclosure Purposes.
Personal Information Sales or Sharing Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights
You have the right to request that businesses stop selling or sharing your personal information at any time (the "right to opt-out"), including through a user-enabled opt-out preference signal. Similarly, the CCPA prohibits businesses from selling or sharing the personal information of consumers it actually knows are under 16 years old without first obtaining consent from consumers who are between 13 and 15 years old or the consumer's parent or guardian for consumers under age 13 (the "right to opt-in").
ADMT Rights
When a business uses automated decision-making technology (ADMT) to make significant decisions about you, you may have rights to:
-
Obtain certain information about how the business uses ADMT, that is specific to you (the "ADMT access right").
-
Opt-out of the ADMT use (the "ADMT opt-out right") unless the business provides you with a method to appeal the decision to a human reviewer with the authority to overturn the decision (the "ADMT appeal right") or another exception applies.
ADMTs are technologies that process personal information and use computation to execute a decision and either replace or substantially replace human decision-making, resulting in decisions made without human involvement. Decisions are significant when they result in the provision or denial of financial or lending services, housing, education enrollment or opportunities, employment or independent contracting opportunities or compensation, or healthcare services. Advertising is not a significant decision.
We do not currently use ADMT to make significant decisions about consumers, so we do not provide ADMT access, opt-out, or appeal rights.
We do not provide ADMT opt-out rights because we provide you with ADMT appeal rights/Once we process your ADMT opt-out right request, we will not use ADMT to process your personal information for a significant decision unless you later consent to the ADMT use. Our ADMT Pre-Use Notice describes the alternative process we use to make the significant decisions when you opt out. For more on exercising your ADMT appeal/opt-out rights, see Exercising the Right to Limit or Opt-Out or Appeal an ADMT Decision.
Right to Non-Discrimination
You have the right not to be discriminated or retaliated against for exercising any of your privacy rights under the CCPA.
How to Exercise Your Rights
Exercising the Rights to Know, Delete, Correct, or Access ADMT
To exercise the right to know (including data portability), delete, correct, or access ADMT described above, please submit a verifiable request to us by either:
-
Emailing us at info@collegeboundlegal.com.
Please describe your request with sufficient detail so we can properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it. You or your authorized agent may only submit a request to know, including for data portability, twice in a 12-month period.
Exercising the Right to Limit Opt-Out, or Appeal an ADMT Decision
You can submit your request to limit or opt-out, or appeal an ADMT decision through:
-
Emailing info@collegeboundlegal.com
You can also submit your request to opt-out of personal information sales and sharing through an opt-out preference signal.
Verification Process and Authorized Agents
Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a request to know, delete, correct, or access ADMT related to your personal information. If your minor child is our consumer, you may also make a verifiable request on their behalf. We may request specific information from you or your authorized representative to confirm your or their identity before we can process your right to know, delete, or correct your personal information.
We cannot respond to your request to know, delete, correct, or access ADMT if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relating to you. We will only use personal information provided in the request to verify the requestor's identity or authority to make the request.
We consider requests made through your password-protected account with our company sufficiently verified when the request relates to personal information associated with that specific account. You do not need to create an account with us to submit a request to know, correct, or delete.
For requests to limit or opt-out, we ask for the information necessary to complete the request, which may include, for example, the consumer's name, email address, or account username.
Responding to Your Requests to Know, Delete, Correct, or Access/Appeal ADMT
We will confirm receipt of your request within ten business days. If you do not receive confirmation within the ten-day timeframe, please email info@collegeboundlegal.com.
We endeavor to substantively respond to a verifiable request within 45 days of its receipt. If we require more time (up to another 45 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing. We will deliver our written response to your verified email address. Our substantive response will tell you whether or not we have complied with your request. If we cannot comply with your request in whole or in part, we will explain the reason, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions. Applicable law may allow or require us to refuse to provide you with access to some or all of the personal information that we hold about you, or we may have destroyed, deleted, or made your personal information anonymous in compliance with our record retention policies and obligations.
Any disclosures we provide will cover information for the 12-month period preceding the request's receipt date. We will consider requests to provide longer disclosure periods that do not extend past January 1, 2022, unless providing the longer timeframe would be impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded. If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.
Response and Timing on Rights to Limit or Opt-Out
In response to your request to limit or opt-out, we will process your request, as soon as feasibly possible, but no later than 15 business days from the date we receive the request. You do not need to create an account with us to exercise your limitation and opt-out rights. We will only use personal information provided from your request to comply with the request.
We will also notify our service providers, contractors, and certain other downstream recipients of your request to limit or opt-out and instruct them to both:
-
Comply with your request.
-
Forward the request to their own downstream recipients, if applicable.
We may deny opt-out requests if we have a good-faith, reasonable, and documented belief that the request is fraudulent and will clearly explain our denial decision to the requestor.
Once you make a request to limit or opt-out, we will wait at least 12 months before asking you to reauthorize the use or disclosure of your sensitive personal information for purposes other than the Permitted SPI Purposes or personal information sales or sharing. However, you may change your mind and opt back in at any time by:
OPT-IN INSTRUCTIONS OR URL LINKS
Reselling or Resharing Personal Information
The CCPA prohibits a third party from reselling or resharing personal information unless you have received explicit notice and an opportunity to opt-out of further sales or sharing. The following businesses purchase personal information from us and may resell or reshare that information. To opt-out of those sales and sharing, please visit that business's opt-out notice at link provided below.

How We Protect Your Personal Data
We use commercially reasonable administrative, physical, and technical measures designed to protect your personal data from accidental loss or destruction and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no website, mobile application, system, electronic storage, or online service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your personal data transmitted to, through, using, or in connection with the Services. In particular, email, texts, and chats sent to or from the Services may not be secure, and you should carefully decide what information you send to us through these communications channels. Any transmission of personal data is at your own risk.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. You are responsible for taking steps to protect your personal data against unauthorized use, disclosure, and access.
