This page is Higher Learning App's notice of your right to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the "CCPA"), and under the consumer privacy laws of Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and every other state. We honor these opt-out rights for all U.S. consumers, regardless of state of residence. Our full Privacy Policy is at Privacy Policy.
Higher Learning App is a college search service. When you request information, we send your details to the schools you ask about and to our lead marketplace and marketing partners, who pay us for those referrals. State privacy laws call this a sale of personal information. We also let advertising partners place cookies and pixels on our site so they can show you our ads elsewhere. California law calls this sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising; other states call it targeted advertising.
In the past 12 months we have sold or shared the following categories of personal information to the categories of third parties shown:
Identifiers: name, postal address, email, phone and mobile number, IP address. Sold or shared with: Schools and education providers; lead marketplaces such as PX Inc.; marketing partners; advertising partners.
Education details: education level, graduation year, degree and program of interest, campus preference, start date, RN license or teaching certificate. Sold or shared with: Schools and education providers; lead marketplaces; marketing partners.
Demographic details: age or date of birth, military or veteran affiliation. Sold or shared with: Schools and education providers; lead marketplaces; marketing partners.
Sensitive personal information: U.S. citizenship or residency status, only when a school requires it. Sold or shared with: Schools and education providers; lead marketplaces.

Include the name, email address, telephone number and zip code you used on our form so we can locate your record. We will not ask you to verify your identity to opt out, but we may ask for enough information to find you in our systems.
Global Privacy Control. If your browser or extension sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as an opt-out of sale, sharing and targeted advertising for that browser and device. To also stop the sale of information you have already given us, submit an opt-out request using one of the methods above.
Authorized agents. Someone else may opt out for you if they give us written permission signed by you or a copy of a power of attorney.
The only sensitive personal information we collect is U.S. citizenship or residency status, and only when a school requires it to respond to your inquiry. We use it solely to deliver your inquiry to that school and do not use it to infer characteristics about you. You may ask us to limit or stop using it through any of the methods above.
You also have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to correct or delete it, to receive a portable copy, and to appeal a decision we make about your request. These rights, the verification steps, and our response times are described in Section 7 of our Privacy Policy.
California "Shine the Light" requests. California Civil Code Section 1798.83 lets you request a list of the third parties to which we disclosed personal information for their direct marketing purposes in the prior calendar year. Email support@higherlearningapp.com with the subject line "CA Privacy Disclosures."
Nevada residents. You may direct us not to sell your covered information under NRS Chapter 603A using any of the methods above.
We do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals because no industry standard exists for them. We do honor Global Privacy Control signals as described above.
