GLOBAL ALUMNI US PRIVACY NOTICE
This policy is effective as of February 02, 2021.

Introduction

Global Alumni (“we”, “our”, and “us”) takes your privacy and the security of your information very seriously, and we encourage you to read this privacy notice (“Notice”) carefully to understand how we collect and handle information that you share with us. This Notice describes the type of information we collect from you and the steps we take to protect that information. “Personal Information” as used in this Notice means information that can be used to identify you, directly or indirectly, alone or together with other information.

Scope

Global Alumni is an EdTech company dedicated to assisting the world’s best universities to expand their programs and improve the quality of continuing and executive education with cutting-edge technologies and a state-of-the-art platform.

This Notice outlines how we collect and use information in the following two distinct contexts:

  2. Our Services: We collect certain information as a service provider to, and on behalf of, certain continuing and executive education colleges and universities (“Services”).

This Notice applies only to information we collect through our Site and Services. Our Site and Services may contain links to third party sites that are not owned or controlled by Global Alumni, such as links to websites operated by colleges and universities that we work with. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave our Site and Services and to read the privacy notices of each and every website that collects your Personal Information.
