We respect your privacy and security. Our goal is to help you find athletic scholarships by providing you with information, resources, and services that are relevant and helpful to you. In order to achieve this goal, we sometimes collect information during your visits to understand what is important to you.

In this statement disclosing the privacy practices for the Recruit-Me-Now site you will learn what personally identifiable information of yours is collected, how and when we might use your information, how we protect your information, who has access to your information, and how you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

What Information is Collected?

Recruit-Me-Now collects certain information from and about our users in three ways -- directly from the user, from our Web server logs, and with cookies.

User-Supplied Information: When you sign up for a service, such as the Recruit-Me Newsletter, we may ask you for your name and e-mail address. If you make a purchase, our third-party payment processor securely collects the personal information necessary to process your payment.

Server Log Information: When you visit an Internet Web site, you automatically disclose certain information, such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, the time of your visit, and the referring location (e.g., the Site or page that offered a link to a Recruit-Me-Now page). Recruit-Me-Now, like many other sites, records this basic information about visits to our site.

Cookies: In order to offer and provide a customized, personal service, Recruit-Me-Now may use cookies to store and help track your information. For example, we may use cookies to help remind us who you are and to authorize access to restricted content and services based on your identifying information.

A cookie is a mechanism that allows a Web server to store information about you in a tiny file on your own hard drive. Typically, a Web site uses a cookie to record your preferences when you first visit, helping that Web site to serve you better when you make return visits. Only the web site that stores a cookie will have access to it - a security feature enforced by your browser.

The use of cookies is relatively standard and you will likely find them used on most major Web sites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you can adjust your browser either to notify you when it receives a request to store a cookie on your machine, or to refuse to accept cookies at all. If you set your browser to not accept cookies or if you reject a cookie, certain areas of many sites, such as shopping carts, may not function properly.

Public Forum Warning: You should remember that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online, such as on message boards or through e-mail, other users can see and could collect and use your information. Although Recruit-Me tries to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you voluntarily disclose to others in public forums.

How and When is Information Used?

We use information in different ways, depending on the type of information:

User-supplied information: Recruit-Me-Now uses this information for purposes such as personalization, permitting access to restricted products or information, and payment processing.

Web Server Logs: This information helps us identify which areas of our site are of interest to our visitors. Recruit-Me-Now also collects the Internet [Protocol] (IP) addresses of its visitors for the purposes of system administration.

Cookies: We may use "cookies" to let you use our services more conveniently and to let us keep track of certain statistical information that helps us improve our site. Cookies allow us to save passwords and preferences for you so that you won't have to re-enter them each time you visit.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

The privacy and protection of your personal information is vitally important to us. Recruit-Me does not make personal information available to any third parties without your permission. When you purchase online, our third party payment processor, CyberSource, uses a secure server and SSL to protect your credit card number and other personal information during the transmission. CyberSource does not divulge any of your payment information, such as account numbers or bank routing numbers, to anyone, including Recruit-Me.

SSL is short for Secure Sockets Layer, a protocol developed by Netscape for secure transmission of private information over the Internet. SSL works by using a private key to encrypt data that is transmitted over the SSL connection. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer browsers support SSL, and web sites use SSL when users transmit confidential information such as credit card numbers. Web pages that require an SSL connection start with https: instead of http. SSL uses 128 bit encryption within the United States. For more information on SSL, please visit the Netscape web site: http://home.netscape.com/security/techbriefs/ssl.html

Warning: Your access to some services and content is password protected. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Recruit-Me will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email. You should not disclose your user name and password to others. In addition, if applicable, you should remember to sign out of your Recruit-Me account or service at the end of each session. You may also wish to close your browser window when you have finished your work. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.

Unfortunately, there is no way to absolutely guarantee that your data transmission over the Internet will be 100% secure. Accordingly, despite our efforts to protect your personal information, Recruit-Me cannot warrant the security of any information you transmit to us. You transmit all such information at your own risk. However, once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.

Who Has Access to the Information?

Recruit-Me will not willfully disclose any individually identifiable information about you to any third party without first receiving your permission. When you are at the Recruit-Me-Now site and are asked for personal information, you will be sharing that information only with Recruit-Me.

How Do You Correct Inaccuracies?

If you sign up for a service, such as the Recruit-Me Newsletter, we may send you a confirmation e-mail confirming your information. The message will be sent to the address that you supplied us and will describe ways for you to change or delete the information provided.
