Privacy Policy

   AfricaClassmates has created this privacy statement in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to privacy. The following discloses our information gathering and usage practices. For additional information about AfricaClassmates, please review our Terms of Service.

AfricaClassmates does not sell or rent your personal identification to third parties. AfricaClassmates does provide your personal identification to selected, affiliated companies to allow them to perform services for members on our behalf.

Email
It is the policy of AfricaClassmates to send our members only the types of email they elect to receive in addition to AfricaClassmates customary business communications (address confirmation, renewal notifications, new product offerings, etc.) Further, it is our policy to remove members from any AfricaClassmates mailing list to which they have subscribed upon request (members will continue to receive customary business communications from AfricaClassmates). At any time, members can update their email preference list. In addition, every opt-in email communication from AfricaClassmates will contain clear and obvious instructions for how the member can remove himself or herself from that mailing list.

Membership Registration
Demographic and profile data is also collected at our website. We use this data to tailor your experience at AfricaClassmates, showing content that we think you might be interested in, and displaying the content according to your preferences.

AfricaClassmates may periodically conduct individual voluntary member surveys. We encourage our members to participate in these surveys because they provide us with important information that helps us to improve the types of services we offer, and how we provide them to you. The responses we collect in online surveys are anonymous. In the end, we hope to tailor our communications with you to fit your needs - so that you receive more of what you want from us and less of what you don't want.

Updating Your Personal Information
AfricaClassmates provides you with ways in which you can alter the personal data. To update your preferences or change your personal information, login to AfricaClassmates.com and go to the "My Profile" button. You have the ability to change or correct the following information yourself:

• Your First or Last Name at Graduation
• Your Graduation Year
• Your Current First or Last Name
• Your Email Address
• Your Postal Address
• Your Password
• Your Email Opt-in Preferences

The Security of Your Information
We work diligently to protect the security of your personal information, including credit card information, during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. Your data is kept in a highly secure environment protected from access by unauthorized parties. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer by ensuring you logoff when finished visiting AfricaClassmates using a shared computer.

Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored in a browser-related file on your computer's hard drive when you use our website. We use cookies to improve the member experience, like allowing the member to login without typing the registered email address or registration number and password. We also use them to deliver information and fresh content specific to your interests. Cookies are widely used on most major websites.

IP Address Like most Internet websites, we use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our website. Your IP address is also used to gather broad demographic information. This information is distributed to current and potential advertisers, but only in aggregate form. It does not contain information that identifies individual members.

Membership Removal
If you wish to have your registration removed from our directory for any reason, simply use our online registration removal process. If you have any problem removing your registration, please request assistance from contact@africaclassmates.com.

Advertising and Third Party Links
Some AfricaClassmates advertisers and affiliate partners may request information directly from users, or link to sites that do so. AfricaClassmates has no control over its advertisers' privacy policies, and encourages users to review such policies prior to submitting any personal information to them.

AfricaClassmates contains non-advertising links to a variety of third party sites to enhance the member experience. AfricaClassmates has no control of either the content or privacy policies of such sites, nor should such links be considered an endorsement of these sites except where otherwise noted.

Children
Protecting the privacy of the young is especially important to AfricaClassmates. For that reason, we never collect or maintain information at our website from those we actually know are under 13, and no part of our Web site is intended for use by those under 13.

Updates to our information practices
From time to time, we make changes to our information practices or alter the functionality of our website. We always update this statement accordingly, so we encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on privacy practices at AfricaClassmates.

Abuse of Terms of Service
We may provide your personal information to the police or other investigating agencies to assist them in the investigation of any suspected violations of law. We also have the right to share your name and contact information with our attorneys in case of serious violations of conduct.

If you have any questions about our privacy policies or any other matter, please contact us at contact@africaclassmates.com.
