OVC Scholarship Network Program Privacy Policy & Disclaimers

Privacy Policy

We respect the privacy of scholarship applicants, and we are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect about you through our online application, how we use and disclose this information, and the safeguards we have in place to help prevent unauthorized access and use of your personal information.

Information We Collect

We will collect information you submit in your scholarship application or in any email communications with our team. This will include your name and location, the college or university you are or will be attending, your citizenship status, your email address, and documentation you submit such as an academic transcript and/or proof of enrollment. Your submitted essay may also include any personal details that you wish to share. This information is collected through your voluntary disclosure.

How We Use and Share Your Information

Your information will only be accessible to team members and people we employ who review scholarship applications. Your personal information will never be sold to any outside parties. We are committed to protecting your privacy.

By submitting a scholarship application, you agree to allow us to publish your name, essay, and photograph on our website, as well as in press releases, social media, or other marketing channels.

Security

We will take all reasonable safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or use. Our secure scholarship application form is protected using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. Information submitted to us or sent via email will be stored on secure systems protected by firewalls and access controls.

However, even when using all appropriate safeguards, it is impossible to guarantee that data transmitted over the Internet or stored on computer systems will always be 100% secure. While we will strive to protect information you submit to us by using all reasonable and appropriate security methods and procedures, we cannot, and do not, guarantee the security of this information. You understand and agree that data and communications may be accessed by unauthorized third parties, and your submission of information to us is at your own risk.

Compliance With Laws and Law Enforcement

We cooperate with government officials and law enforcement agencies. We may disclose your personal information to government or law enforcement officials in response to court orders or subpoenas, to protect the safety or rights of ourselves or any other third party, to prevent or stop any illegal or unethical activity, or to comply with any applicable laws.

Your Rights

You have the right to know what personal information we have collected about you. You also have the right to correct any personal information or to request that we delete your personal information. You can contact us at info@ovcscholarshipnetwork.com if you wish to access, modify, or request that we delete your personal information.
