The Ross College Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is committed to protecting the privacy of donors, students, applicants, volunteers, staff, and website users. The following policy identifies the personal information collected by the Foundation and this website, and how this information may be used.
What information do we collect?
The Foundation does not collect personally identifiable information from individuals unless they provide it voluntarily and willingly by filling out a form, including donation and scholarship forms. When doing so, as appropriate, you may be asked to voluntarily provide your name, address, phone number, email address, or other personal information. We or our business partners may also collect anonymous information, such as your IP address (a number used to identify your computer on the Internet), the type of browser you are using, or other anonymous information through the use of cookies or by other means. The purpose of collecting this anonymous information is so that we can improve this website to make it more user-friendly. We reserve the right to maintain, update, disclose, or otherwise use anonymous information, without limitation.
What do we use your information for?
Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:
- for internal recordkeeping purposes;
- to process your donations, applications, inquiries, or other requests;
- to administer and improve the site and related services;
- to notify you of information or opportunities through the Foundation that may be of interest;
- to provide internet security;
- to meet legal obligations.
We may work with associated businesses which may perform certain functions on our behalf, such as sending emails, managing data, processing credit card payments or providing services to users. These businesses have access to your information only to the extent necessary to perform these specific functions and may not use it for any other purpose. We may use third party advertising companies to place our ads on other web sites. If we are involved in the sale of a substantial portion of our business assets, anonymous or personal information may be among the transferred assets.
Email Advertising

Do we use cookies?
Yes, when you visit this website, the Foundation or a third party may store or recognize some information on your computer in the form of a “cookie” or similar file that can help us in many ways. (Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Internet browser, if you allow, that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information).
For example, cookies allow us to tailor our site to better match your interests and preferences. With most Internet browsers or other software, you can erase cookies from your computer’s hard drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored.

If you reject cookies, functionality of our site could be limited, and you may not be able to take advantage of some of our website features.
Do we disclose any information to outside parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
