Effective date: September 22, 2026. Last updated: September 22, 2026.
This Privacy Policy explains how HigherLearningMarketers.com ("Higher Learning Marketers," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares and sells personal information, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to our website at www.higherlearningMarketers.com, our landing pages, our advertisements, and any other place where we link to this policy (together, the "Services").
Higher Learning Marketers is a college search and lead generation service. When you submit a request for information, we send your information to the colleges, universities and education providers you ask about, and to our marketing partners. Under many state privacy laws, this counts as a "sale" of personal information and as "sharing" for targeted advertising. This policy tells you how to opt out.

2. Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you fill out a request-for-information form, contact us, or enter a promotion, we collect:
- Identifiers: first and last name, postal address, city, state, zip code, email address, telephone and mobile numbers.
- Education details: highest level of education completed, high school graduation or GED year, degree of interest, area of study, preferred campus or online learning, intended start date, whether you hold a registered nurse license or teaching certificate.
- Demographic and eligibility details: date of birth or age, military or veteran affiliation (including that of a parent or spouse), and United States citizenship or residency status, when a school requires it.
- Your communications with us, including emails, letters and support requests.
Information we collect automatically. When you use the Services we and our service providers collect:
- Device and connection data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and Internet service provider.
- Usage data: pages viewed, referring and exit pages, links clicked, time spent on the form, timestamps, and clickstream data.
- Lead-verification records: we use Jornaya LeadiD and TrustedForm to create a certificate of your form session, which records the page you saw, the consent language displayed, and your interaction with the form. These certificates are shared with the schools and partners that receive your inquiry.
- Cookies, pixels, web beacons and similar technologies (see Section 6).
Information from other sources. We may receive information about you from our advertising partners, the websites where our banners appear, data verification and fraud-prevention providers, and public sources, and combine it with the information described above.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use personal information to:
- Match you with colleges, universities and education programs and deliver your inquiry to them.
- Contact you by phone, text message, email and postal mail about educational opportunities and related offers, as described in Section 5.
- Operate, secure, troubleshoot and improve the Services.
- Measure and improve the performance of our advertising.
- Verify your identity, prevent fraud, and document your consent.
- Comply with law, respond to legal requests, enforce our Terms of Service, and protect our rights and the rights of others.
4. How We Share And Sell Your Information
We share, and in many cases sell, personal information with the following categories of recipients:
- Schools and education providers you request information about, including their admissions and enrollment vendors. Some schools receive your information exclusively; others receive it alongside other schools.
- Lead marketplaces and marketing partners that connect students with schools, including PX Inc. and similar networks, and companies in the education, sales, marketing, advertising and publishing industries.
- Service providers that host our website, verify leads, send communications, provide analytics, and detect fraud. They may use your information only to provide services to us.
- Advertising partners that show our ads and measure their performance, which may involve cookies and similar technologies that count as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law.
- Government authorities, law enforcement, and other parties when required by law, subpoena or court order, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to investigate fraud, protect rights, property or safety, or defend legal claims.
- A successor business in the event of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization or sale of assets.
We also share aggregated or de-identified information that does not identify you, and we commit to not re-identify it.
Categories of personal information we have sold or shared in the past 12 months: identifiers, contact information, education and demographic details, military affiliation, citizenship or residency status, Internet and device activity, and inferences about your educational interests. We sold or shared this information with the categories of recipients listed above. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.
5. Telephone, Text And Email Marketing Consent
When you submit a form and check the consent box, you give express written consent for Higher Learning Marketers and the school or schools identified on the form to contact you at the telephone number you provided, including a wireless number, by live call, prerecorded or artificial-voice message, automated dialing system and SMS/text message, and by email, about educational programs and services. Message and data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of purchase or enrollment. Your consent applies even if your number appears on a federal, state or company Do Not Call list.
You may revoke consent at any time by replying STOP to any text message, by using the unsubscribe link in any email, by visiting https://www.higherlearningMarketers.com/removeme , by emailing support@higherlearningMarketers.com , by calling 718 655-2573, or by writing to us at the address in Section 1. We process opt-out requests within 10 business days. Revoking your consent to Higher Learning Marketers does not automatically revoke consent you gave directly to a school; contact the school to opt out of its communications.
6. Cookies, Tracking Technologies, Do Not Track And Global Privacy Control
We and our partners use cookies, pixels, web beacons, session-recording scripts and similar technologies to operate the Services, remember your choices, measure advertising, and deliver targeted advertising on other websites. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may stop working.
Global Privacy Control. We treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal sent by your browser or extension as a valid request to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising for that browser, as required by California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon and Texas law. To apply your opt-out to information we already hold about you, also submit a request through https://www.higherlearningMarketers.com/removeme .
Do Not Track. Because there is no industry standard for responding to browser "Do Not Track" signals, we do not respond to them. GPC signals are honored as described above.
7. Your Privacy Rights
Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and other states have rights under their state privacy laws. Rather than list different rights for each state, we extend the following rights to every consumer in the United States, regardless of where you live:
- Right to know and access. Request the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, our purposes, the categories of third parties we disclosed it to, and, for California residents, the categories of personal information sold or shared and the categories of third parties that received it.
- Right to a portable copy. Receive your personal information in a portable and readily usable format.
- Right to correct. Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Right to delete. Ask us to delete personal information we collected from you, subject to legal exceptions.
- Right to opt out of sale and sharing. Direct us not to sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising. See our Do Not Sell or Share page at https://www.higherlearningMarketers.com/ccpa .
- Right to opt out of profiling. Direct us not to use your personal information for profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not currently engage in this kind of profiling.
- Right to limit use of sensitive personal information. Citizenship or residency status and, where collected, precise geolocation or similar data are "sensitive" under some state laws. We collect sensitive information only when a school requires it and use it only to deliver your inquiry. You may ask us to limit its use or, in states that require it, we will ask for your consent before collecting it.
- Right to non-discrimination. We will not deny you services, charge different prices or provide a different quality of service because you exercised a privacy right.
- Right to appeal. If we decline your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision email or writing to us with "Privacy Appeal" in the subject line. We will respond within 45 days (60 days in some states). If we deny your appeal, we will tell you how to contact your state Attorney General.
Nevada residents may direct us not to sell their covered information under NRS 603A by contacting us as described below.
California residents. In addition to the rights above, California Civil Code Section 1798.83 (the "Shine the Light" law) lets you request, once per year, a list of the third parties to which we disclosed personal information for their direct marketing purposes during the prior calendar year. Email support@higherlearningMarketers.com with the subject line "CA Privacy Disclosures." We do not offer financial incentives in exchange for personal information.
How to submit a request
Submit a request in any of these ways:
1. Online form: https://www.higherlearningMarketers.com/removeme
2. Email: support@higherlearningMarketers.com with the subject line "Privacy Rights Request"
3. Phone: 718 655-2573
4. Mail: Higher Learning Marketers, Privacy Requests, 138-07 82nd Drive, Briarwood, NY 11435
Tell us which right you are exercising and give us the name, email address, telephone number and zip code you used on our form so we can find your record. We will verify your identity by matching the details you give us to the information in our records and may ask for additional information if needed. We will not require you to create an account.
Authorized agents. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. We will ask for written permission signed by you, or a copy of a power of attorney, and may still verify your identity directly with you.
Timing. We will confirm receipt of your request within 10 business days and respond within 45 days. If we need more time, we will tell you why and may take up to 45 additional days. Opt-out requests are honored within 15 business days. We will tell the third parties to whom we sold or shared your information in the prior 90 days that you have opted out.
8. Children
The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Data Retention
We keep personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including delivering your inquiry, documenting your consent, and meeting legal, contractual and audit obligations. Lead records and consent certificates are typically retained for five years from submission, after which they are deleted or de-identified. Information you ask us to delete may remain in secure backups for a limited period until those backups are overwritten.
10. Security
We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encrypted transmission of form submissions and restricted access to lead data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Third-Party Websites
The Services link to schools, partners and other websites we do not control. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, which we encourage you to read.
12. Changes To This Policy
We will post any changes on this page and update the effective date above. If a change materially affects how we use or share your information, we will also notify you by email at the address in our records. Please review this policy regularly.
