Privacy Policy

Information Collection and Use

Information Collection
CampusTours Inc. is the sole owner of the information collected on CampusTours.com and CampusMaps.com. In general, CampusTours does not collect specific information on individual visitors, rather the site collects generic information about visitor sessions in order to study general demographic trends. We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site. These companies may use aggregated information about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Within CampusTours Inc. products (including, but not limited to AnyMap and AnyTour) information that is collected through forms and inquiry services is sent directly to the respective organization represented in the interactive map or virtual tour. CampusTours does not own, process or store information collected through our products.

Information Use
CampusTours provides virtual campus tours and interactive campus maps of colleges and universities, and may, in certain instances, share broad demographic data about our visitors with advertisers and college partners. CampusTours does not offer activites on the Web site that allow users (children or otherwise) to disclose their information publicly.

Cookies
A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's computer tied to information about the user. CampusTours does not use cookies, however, some of our business partners use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies, once we have given permission for them to set cookies for advertising.

Log Files
Like most standard Web site servers we use log files. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, platform type, date/time stamp, and number of clicks to analyze trends, administer the site, track user's movement in the aggregate, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use.

Communications from the Site

Newsletter
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address. Out of respect for our users privacy we provide a way to opt-out of these communications.

Sharing

Legal Disclaimer

Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable)
We share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers.

Third Party Advertisers
CampusTours shares Web site usage information about users with a reputable third party for the purpose of targeting our Internet banner advertisements on this site and other sites. For example, our advertisers use cookies and tracking images on this site, which allow them to recognize a user's cookie when a user visits this site. We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Web site. These companies may use aggregated information about your visits to this and other Web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

CampusTours products transmit visitors' personal information to organizations from whom the visitor explicity requests information. CampusTours will not share your personal information with other organizations without your direct approval.

Content Providers
We partner with organizations to provide access to their virtual tours, interactive maps, campus WebCams, college videos, virtual reality presentations, pictures and other multimedia content. Colleges do not have access to personal information on CampusTours users at any time. However, CampusTours provides links for users to request information from these institutions, and once a user decides to submit information to a particular college or university, their personal information is no longer covered by this privacy statement and becomes property of the colleges or universities they contacted.

Business Transitions
In the event CampusTours goes through a business transition, such as a merger, being acquired by another company, or selling a portion of its assets, users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified via prominent notice on our Web site for 30 days prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the business transition, the users' personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.

Opt-Out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of receiving communications from our site by emailing us at info@CampusTours.com with the subject line OPT OUT.

Users who no longer wish to receive our newsletter and promotional communications may opt-out of receiving these communications by replying to unsubscribe in the subject line in the email or email us at info@CampusTours.com with the subject line OPT OUT.

Links
THIS WEB SITE CONTAINS LINKS TO OTHER SITES. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT WE, CAMPUSTOURS INC, ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRIVACY PRACTICES OF SUCH OTHER SITES. WE ENCOURAGE OUR USERS TO BE AWARE WHEN THEY LEAVE OUR SITE AND TO READ THE PRIVACY STATEMENTS OF EACH AND EVERY WEB SITE THAT COLLECTS PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION. THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT APPLIES SOLELY TO INFORMATION COLLECTED BY THIS WEB SITE. WHENEVER A USER CLICKS A LINK TO A COLLEGE ON CAMPUSTOURS, THE USER IS BEING TRANSFERRED TO PAGES CONTROLLED BY THAT COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY, AND ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT IS COLLECTED BY THESE SITES IS NOT WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT.

Surveys
From time-to-time our site requests information from users via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site. Users' personally identifiable information is not shared with third parties unless we give prior notice and choice. Though we may use an intermediary to conduct these surveys or contests, they may not use users' personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes.

Tell-A-Friend
If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. CampusTours will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. CampusTours does not store this information.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

If, however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Web site notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
