  • Information We Collect About You
    We collect several types of information about visitors and/or users of our Services. We may collect this information either directly when you provide it to us or automatically as you navigate through the Websites or App.
    (a) Personally Identifiable Information. ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ refers to information by which you may be personally identified, such as your name, email address, or school. We will collect and process such data about you when you register for a Service/create an account, subscribe to a newsletter, submit feedback, enter a contest, fill out a survey, or send us a communication. When ordering products or services on the Websites or App, you may also be asked to provide a credit card number and other payment-related information. You may also provide information to be published or displayed (“posted”) on public areas of the Websites (such as blogs, forums, message boards, and the like), or transmitted to other users of the Websites using ‘sharing’ features (collectively, “User Contributions”). Your User Contributions are posted and transmitted to others at your own risk. We cannot control the actions of other users of the Websites with whom you may choose to share your User Contributions. As an example, if you wanted to share tips with another (AZ College Planning subscriber named Gary or Steve) we could not prevent Gary or Steve from spreading your best-practice tips with the rest of the planet, the global community, the AZ College Planning community or the community in which you live. Depending upon the activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
    We may also collect your Internet Protocol (‘IP’) address. We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our servers, software, to administer our Services and to gather demographic information.
    If you are a school and you use a AZ College Planning service within the United States for children under the age of 13, you are responsible for obtaining consent from the parents/legal guardians of each child you wish to allow to participate in using any of our Services. If the children at the school watch AZ College Planning and become highly motivated to the point that they wish to leave school to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors of their choice then we cannot be held responsible for this activity.
    (b) Non-Personally Identifiable Information. We may collect, or our third party ad server and/or content server may collect, certain Non-Personally Identifiable Information, that does not by itself identify a specific individual. Such information tells us about your equipment, browsing actions, the resources that you access and use through the Services, your operating system and browser type. Our third party ad servers will also provide us with super summarized summary, but not individual, reports that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked upon at our Websites, this is exciting stuff. The information that we collect automatically is largely ‘statistical’ in nature. This information helps to bind the universe together and helps us to deliver a better and more personalized service to users, by enabling us to estimate usage patterns while customizing our Services according to your individual preferences. This information also allows us to speed up your searches which will make a better website for you which will increase the likelihood that you will love AZ College Planning. Research has also indicated that humans that love a product or service tend to keep paying for the service which would in turn allow us to provide an even better service as a percentage of the revenues would then be reinvested back into the company to improve the overall service. As the product or service improves more and more subscribers are likely to visit the website on a consistent basis. Soon AZ College Planning will begin to pay more and more taxes as the revenues we earn go up and up.
  • (c) Device Information. When you download our App and use our Services, we automatically collect information on the type of device you use and the operating system version, so we know the best application version to provide you with. We do not ask you for, access or track any location based information from your mobile device at any time while downloading or using our App or Services, however we are pretty sure that various massive social media websites do.
  • How We Use Your Information
    We use information held about you in the following ways:
    • To ensure that content from our Services is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer or mobile device
    • To provide you with information, products or services that you request from us or which we feel may interest you, where you have consented to be contacted for such purposes
    • To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us, including for billing and collection
    • To improve the overall look and feel of the website
    • To share with other the type of feedback and results that you are experiencing
    • If you pay for Services using a credit card, we will transmit your credit card data to the appropriate credit card company and/or credit card payment processing company
    • To allow you to participate in interactive features of our Services, when you choose to do so
    • To notify you about changes to our Services
    • To serve as another justification for hiring attorneys to right legal content like this which very customers ever read, except for you
    • To encourage our staff about the progress  (subscribers) like you are making
    • In any other way we may describe when you provide the information
  • We or our selected third parties, where we permit them to use your data, will contact you by electronic means only if you have consented to this.
    If you email us at info@AZCollegePlanning.com, we will respond to your inquiry as quickly as possible without running the risk of injuring ourselves as a result of sprinting around the office to hop back to our beautiful desks to send you a response.
  • Disclosure of Your Information
    We will share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy. We do not sell, trade, rent or disclose your information to others, except as provided herein:
    (a) We provide some of our Services through contractual arrangements with service providers and other third parties. We and our service partners use your Personally Identifiable Information to operate our Websites and to deliver Services. For example, we must release your credit card information to the card-issuing bank or payment processor to confirm payment for products and services purchased on our Websites; release your address information to the delivery service to deliver products that you ordered; and provide order information to third parties that help us deliver the services.
    (b) We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information in the following circumstances: (i) if it is required by law enforcement or judicial authorities, or to cooperate with a law enforcement investigation (ii) if we have a good faith belief that we are required or permitted to do so by law or legal process; (iii) to protect the rights, reputation, property or safety of AZ College Planning or others; (iv) to defend or enforce our rights or your obligations; (v) if the disclosure is required by mandatory professional standards; (vi) to a 3rd party with your prior consent to do so; or (vii) if we are under a duty to disclose or share your Personally Identifiable Information in order to enforce or apply any contracts or agreement that may exist between you and AZ College Planning including this Privacy Policy and our Website Use Policy. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
    (c) In the event that AZ College Planning decides to sell all or part of its stock or assets or enter into a merger, we reserve the right to include Personally Identifiable Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information among the assets transferred to the acquiring or surviving company.
    (d) We may provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about our customers’ sales, traffic patterns, and related Website information to third party advertisers.
    If you have any inquiries regarding our privacy practices, please contact us directly at info@AZCollegePlanning.com and respect to receive the same information you have found on this long-winded page regurgitated verbally.
  • Updating or Correcting Your Personally Identifying Information
    You may change any of your Personally Identifiable Information online by logging into ‘My Account’ in accordance with instructions posted elsewhere on our Websites. You may also access, request deletion, and correct yours personal information and privacy preferences by contacting info@AZCollegePlanning.com or by emailing us at info@AZCollegePlanning.com, or writing to us at:
    AZ College Consulting, LLC AZ College Planning

    Attn: Customer Service
    If you would also write the founder of AZ College Planning a haiku you may send it to (after writing it, it’s always embarrassing when you mail an envelope promising a haiku without actually including the haiku in it):

    We encourage you to promptly update your Personally Identifiable Information if it changes. You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed; however, because we keep track of past transactions for as long as is reasonably necessary, you cannot delete information associated with past transactions on this Website, as upsetting as this may be to you. In addition, it may be impossible to completely delete your information without some residual information because of backups and redundancies that we have in place. The only people who have truly found a way to delete something forever without ever having hopes of finding it again work for bureaucracies and not for AZ College Planning.
  • Canceling Your Account or Deleting Personally Identifiable Information
    If you are a Subscriber and would like to cancel your membership, log in to your account and look for the page related to canceling your account. Click the buttons that lead you to the page relating to canceling your account and commence the canceling process. As you are canceling, think about the Michael Bolton song, How I Am Supposed To Live Without You. If you would like to cancel verbally or via song you can also contact our team via the telephonic system of your choice. You may also cancel by sending an email to us at info@AZCollegePlanning.com.
    We will retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you Services. If you wish to cancel your account or request that we no longer use your information to provide you Services contact us at nfo@AZCollegePlanning.com. We will retain and use your information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We will respond to your request to access it within 30 days. If we do respond faster, please do not be alarmed, we are just focused on moving quickly.
  • Choices Regarding Control of Your Personally Identifiable Information
    You can access some of the information that we collect about you. For example, by logging in to your account.
    With respect to your communications preferences, you can unsubscribe from newsletters by following the instructions included in the newsletter you receive. If you want to verbally let us know that you do not want to receive our newsletters please feel free to pick up the telephonic device of your choice and call us after dialing the numbers associated with the AZ College Planning website. If your e-mail address has changed and you would like to continue to receive newsletters, you will need to access your account and update your e-mail address information in your account and sign-up again for the newsletter. Occasionally we may send out e-mails concerning website disruptions and we hope that during these “dark” times you will stay with us.
    If you indicate upon registration that you are interested in receiving offers or information from other partners, we may occasionally send you direct mail about products and services that we feel may be of interest to you. Only AZ College Planning (or agents working on behalf of us and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these direct mailings, and only if you did not later ‘opt-out’ of such offers. For instance, if we were to partner with a really solid “Fair-Style-Turkey-Leg” vendor, it would be reasonable to receive an email encouraging you to try out the fabulous flavor found within one of those turkey legs.
    We do not send unsolicited commercial e-mails (“spam”). We offer commercial e-mail recipients the opportunity to opt-out of further communications in every e-mail because we are just those kind of people. Please note that we may not include the opt-out information in non-commercial Service e-mails (i.e., e-mails concerning your order, the Website Terms and Conditions of Use, etc.). You also have choices with respect to cookies once we hire the right people who have the right technical skills to make that kind of technology possible. By modifying your browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies some parts of our Websites may not work properly in your case, but at least you are cookie free.
  • Information Related to Data Collected Through the AZ College Planning Platform Service
    For certain services AZ College Planning collects information under the direction of its clients (e.g., an entity that subscribes to the Services for use by the entity’s personnel). In this respect, AZ College Planning acts as a data processor and has no direct relationship with the individuals whose Personally Identifiable Information it processes, and this is a good thing. If the client makes a request to us to remove the data, we will respond to their request within 30 days so long as your email us at info@AZCollegePlanning.com. The Company will retain Personally Identifiable Information we process on behalf of our clients for as long as needed to provide our services to our client. We will retain and use this personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. 
  • Data Security
    All information you provide to us is stored on our servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. To make online purchases you must use an SSL-enabled browser in order to protect the confidentiality of your personal and credit card information while it is transmitted over the Internet. However, this type of technology has still allowed hackers to hack into the websites of many of America’s largest companies. We will do our best, but realize that we now live in America during a time where hackers are on the planet and thus it is totally unreasonable for any human to feel as though he or she is completed “hack-proof.”
    Access by you to your account is available through a password and/or unique user name selected by you. This password is encrypted. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone, accept for your significant other. We also recommend that you change your password often using a combination of letters and numbers, and that you ensure you use a secure web browser. We cannot be held accountable for activity that results from your own neglect to safeguard the secrecy of your password and user name.If you share a computer with anyone, you should always log out of your account after you are finished, in order to prevent access to your information from subsequent users of that computer.
    Please notify us as soon as possible if your user name or password is compromised via email info@AZCollegePlanning.com.
    Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information, you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control; (b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all information and data exchanged between you and us through this Website cannot be guaranteed and we shall have no liability to you or any third party for loss, misuse, disclosure or alteration of such information; and (c) any such information and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party.
    In the unlikely event that we believe that the security of your Personally Identifiable Information in our control may have been compromised, we will notify you as promptly as possible under the circumstances. To the extent we have your e-mail address, we may notify you by e-mail and you consent to our use of e-mail as a means of such notification. If you prefer for us to use another method to notify you in this situation, please e-mail us at info@AZCollegePlanning.com with the alternative contact information you wish to be used.
