Information Collection and Use
Registration and Optional Information
College Toolkit does not require a user to register in order to use the site. However, registration is necessary to access many of the site's features, such as the online applications, the profile search, and any promotional deals. Registration requires a user to provide a user name, e-mail address and password. Optional information, such as name, address, extracurricular activities, demographic information, etc. may be provided at the discretion of the user in order to access the various search options and site features. College Toolkit encourages its users to provide as much information as possible so users may best make use of the scholarship search services and online application tools which the site provides.
Identifying Information
To protect the privacy of our users, College Toolkit does not sell, share, or rent identifying information with 3rd parties, such as advertisers or promotional partners unless the user chooses to do so by "opting in" to promotional deals or applying for scholarships online. Any subsequent interaction with these 3rd parties will be governed by the privacy policy of the 3rd party.
Therefore, you decide if and with whom College Toolkit shares your identifying information.
Aggregate Data

Passive Information Collection
College Toolkit uses cookies to provide convenience and better service on the site. By setting a cookie on your computer, the site eliminates the need for you to log in with a username and a password more than once in a visit, thereby saving you time while on our site.
