We are reacting to subpoenas, court orders, and other forms of legal process. We are also defending our legal rights or proving them.

Also, we may share your personal information with certain educational institutions and other third-party organizations based on how you use the Site or what you say you want to know about education, courses, specializations, current and preferred locations, etc. These institutions or organizations may contact you. Please remember that our privacy policy does not cover school institutions or other groups that use your information. If you want to know more about how these educational schools, third-party organizations, etc., or advertisers use the information you give them, you can look at their policies.

The information you give by filling out the “Common Form” or any other way is only shared with the institution(s) you have agreed to apply to by paying the application fee. This lets the school(s) process your application and get in touch with you to start the next steps in the acceptance process.
