Remember that your use of FeeMe Services is at all times subject to FeeMe Terms and Conditions, which incorporate this Privacy Policy. Any terms we use in this policy without defining them have the definitions given to them in the Terms and Conditions.
This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information“) that we gather when you are accessing or using our services, but not to the practices of companies we don’t own or control or people that we don’t manage. We gather various types of Personal Information from our users, as explained in more detail below, and we use this Personal Information internally in connection with our Services, including to personalize, provide, and improve our services, to allow you to set up a user account and profile, to contact you and allow other users to contact you, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, and to analyze how you use FeeMe Services. In certain cases, we may also share some personal information with third parties, but only as described below.
As noted in the Terms and Conditions, we do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are under 13, please do not attempt to register for Feme Services or send any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that a child under 13 may have provided us with personal information, please contact us at the contact info listed at the end of this document.
We’re constantly trying to improve our services, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time as well, but we will alert you to changes by placing a notice on FeeMe, by emailing you, and/or by some other means. Please note that if you’ve opted not to receive legal notice emails from us (or you haven’t provided us with your email address), those legal notices will still govern your use of our services, and you are still responsible for reading and understanding them. If you use Feme Services after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that means you agree with all the changes.
We receive and store any information you knowingly provide for us. The following are some examples (not limited):
1. Registration information
To create an account on FeeMe, you must provide us with at least your name, email address, and/or mobile number, and a password and agree to our Terms and Conditions and this Privacy Policy, which governs how we treat your information. You may provide additional information during the registration flow (for example, your postal code, job title, and company) to help you build your profile and to provide you with more customized services (for example: language-specific profile pages, updates, content, more relevant ads and career opportunities). You understand that, by creating an account, we and others will be able to identify you by your FeeMe profile. We may also ask for your credit card details if you purchase certain additional services. Your credit card details will not be viewable on our website.
2. Profile Information
After you create an account, you may choose to provide additional information on your FeeMe profile, such as descriptions of your skills, professional experience, educational background, and desired consultation rate. You can list honors, awards, professional affiliations, and affiliated entities or individuals that are allowed to contact you. Providing additional information enables Advisors to derive more benefit from our students by better informing interested students of the Advisor’s career track, and enables students to increase their chances of being selected for an appointment with an Advisor. It also enables us to serve you ads and other relevant content on and off of our services.
