2. Faculty and Staff Verification

Faculty Perks is intended to provide benefits to eligible faculty, educators, school employees, and other qualifying users.

We generally verify eligibility through a school-issued or work email address associated with an eligible educational institution.

Faculty Perks may send a verification email to that address. Successfully completing the verification process helps us confirm that the user has access to an eligible educational email account.

We do not require users to submit Social Security numbers or similar highly sensitive identification information for ordinary Faculty Perks eligibility verification.

• comply with legal requirements; and
• enforce our Terms of Use.

4. Information Provided to Participating Businesses

Faculty Perks may provide participating businesses with information regarding the performance of their offers, including information such as the number of offer views, clicks, claims, or redemptions.

We may provide aggregated or statistical information about Faculty Perks members and offer activity.

Faculty Perks does not provide a participating business unrestricted access to Faculty Perks' membership database simply because the business participates in Faculty Perks.

If you voluntarily provide personal information directly to a participating business, that business's privacy practices govern its use of that information.

Faculty Perks may use third-party service providers to operate and support our services.

These providers may perform services such as:

• cloud infrastructure and databases;
• email delivery and verification;
• analytics;
• security and fraud prevention;
• customer support;
• payment processing for participating businesses; and
• other technology and administrative services.

These providers may process information as reasonably necessary to perform services on our behalf.

Faculty Perks may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, maintain user sessions, remember preferences, understand how the website is used, measure performance, and improve Faculty Perks.

Third-party analytics providers may also collect information regarding interactions with our website.

Where required by applicable law, Faculty Perks will provide appropriate choices concerning non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

7. Marketing Communications

Faculty Perks may send eligible members emails about discounts, new offers, participating businesses, special promotions, and other Faculty Perks news.

You can unsubscribe from promotional email communications at any time by using the unsubscribe link contained in those emails.

Even if you unsubscribe from promotional communications, we may continue sending necessary account, verification, security, or service-related messages.

8. How We May Disclose Information

Faculty Perks may disclose information:

• to service providers performing services on our behalf;
• when necessary to provide a service or interaction you request;
• when required by law, court order, subpoena, or other valid legal process;
• when reasonably necessary to prevent fraud or protect the security of Faculty Perks;
• when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Faculty Perks, our users, participating businesses, or others;
• in connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, restructuring, sale, or transfer of all or part of Faculty Perks; or
• with your consent or direction.

9. Sale of Personal Information

Faculty Perks does not sell Faculty Perks members' personal information for money in the ordinary meaning of the term.

Certain privacy laws define "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising more broadly. If Faculty Perks engages in activities falling within those definitions and applicable law requires an opt-out or other consumer choice, Faculty Perks will provide the applicable choice.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate Faculty Perks, provide services, maintain legitimate business records, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, comply with legal requirements, and enforce our agreements.

We seek to avoid retaining personal information that is not reasonably necessary for these purposes.

11. Security

Faculty Perks uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.

No website, internet transmission, database, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. Your Choices and Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including rights to request access, correction, or deletion of certain information.

You may also have rights relating to certain uses or disclosures of your information.
