This policy is effective as of February 02, 2021.
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.
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:
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.
Like most websites, when you visit our Site, certain information, which may include Personal Information, is automatically collected from you or your device, including the following:
We collect information, including Personal Information, in connection with the Services that we perform for certain continuing and executive education colleges and universities. We are a “processor” in this context, and collect this information solely as a service provider to, and on behalf of, those colleges and universities, and not for our own purposes. We collect information about students, prospective students, faculty, and staff, and any other third parties as directed by the colleges and universities that we provide our Services to. We may collect information directly from you, through our platform, our registration forms, websites that we operate on behalf of colleges and universities, and from colleges and universities that engage our Services. This information may include:
We will only use your Personal information for the purposes for which we have collected it, or the purposes set forth in this Notice, unless you consent otherwise. We will not disclose your Personal Information to third parties other than as described in this Notice, unless you give us consent to do so. We do not sell or lease your information to third-parties.
We use your information, including Personal Information, collected through our Site to help us operate our website, operate our business, perform internal analyses, perform internal audits, and provide other services, including advertisements, ad serving, and technical support.

We may share your information, including Personal Information, with our service providers to assist us with operating our website, selling our products and services, our advertising, and our technical support.
We use information, including Personal Information, collected through our Services to market and sell continuing and executive education programs on behalf of continuing and executive education colleges and universities that engage our Services. We also assist continuing and executive education colleges and universities with administration and delivery of their programs, including student enrolment and course delivery. This may also include ensuring that students and prospective students are not on the specifically designated nationals (SDN) list or from a sanctioned region.
By providing your contact information, including your email address and telephone number, you understand that we may use such information to contact you about continuing and executive education programs, including SMS text and through WhatsApp messaging. We may also use your Personal Information to facilitate your enrollment and participation in continuing and executive education programs.
We share information, including Personal Information, we collect on behalf of continuing and executive education colleges and universities with the applicable college or university in which you are a student, are a prospective student, or otherwise have expressed interest in. We do not share information with colleges or universities other than the specific college or university of which you are a student, are a prospective student, or otherwise have expressed interest in. We do not share your information with any other third parties except as specified in this Notice.
We may disclose, at our sole discretion, your information, including Personal Information, as required by law, or to comply with a governmental or legally binding request—such as a subpoena, warrant, or similar legally enforceable request for information.
We may also share and disclose your information, including Personal Information: (i) to investigate a possible crime, such as fraud or identity theft; (ii) in connection with the sale, purchase, merger, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution of Global Alumni; (iii) when we believe it is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Global Alumni or other persons; or (iv) as otherwise required or permitted by law, including any contractual obligations of Global Alumni.
