University Instructors LLC (“UI”), owner of PrepForward, respects the privacy of your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information that UI may collect from you through the PrepForward website (the “Site”), what we do with that information, and with whom we may share the information.

UI may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post the amended version on the main Site.
Collection and Use of User information
UI collects and processes two types of User information: computer information that is collected automatically, and personal information that you enter voluntarily. All personal information is collected directly from Users, not from third parties. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
Automatic Collection of Computer Information
UI does not automatically collect personal information from you or about you (such as your name or mailing address). However, the Site may place small files called “cookies” on your computer to automatically collect and store certain types of data from the computer that you use to access the Site. UI uses this computer information to assess interest in the Site, and for other internal business purposes. If you would like to change your cookie preferences, please contact us.
Collection of Voluntarily Provided Personal Information
UI may request and collect certain personal information from Users who wish to be contacted by UI or to receive information about UI’s other products, services, and offerings, including those of its affiliates. This personal information may include the User’s name, email address, telephone number, and mailing address. You may opt out of receiving communications from UI and its affiliates by contacting the Site Administrator. UI does not request or collect other personal information such as social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, or financial account numbers. You are under no obligation to provide any information about yourself, though certain information may be needed in order to respond to a request for information. We will not attempt to match this personal information with IP addresses and other automatically collected information, except as may be necessary to police misuse of the Site.
