Privacy Policy

Last updated on August 21, 2026.

Introduction

The Higher Education Time, along with our affiliated companies, brings content to you through our Website and email delivery. As a marketing and data company, we also help advertisers reach targeted audiences using information we collect about consumers. Our advertising services span online platforms, in-app environments, email, phone-based marketing, and additional channels. The data we collect about individuals may be shared with third parties and sold as part of our business operations. We additionally provide cross-context behavioral advertising, which means we track and use your behavior across different websites and apps to deliver relevant ads.

The personal information we collect when you visit The Higher Education Time—including information you actively provide and information we gather about you—is addressed in this privacy policy. We describe our collection, use, storage, and disclosure practices here. Please refer to our terms of service for more information about our website.

Carefully review this policy to understand our personal information policies and practices. If you object to our policies and practices, you should not use our website or subscribe to our email list. By accessing this website, using our services, or otherwise interacting with what we offer, you accept and agree to this privacy policy.

Where This Policy Applies And Third-Party Platforms:

This Privacy Policy applies exclusively to the personal information you provide to The Higher Education Time. It does not extend to information collected, processed, or stored by any other website or entity, including those linked from our website or newsletters. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any websites you access through links from The Higher Education Time.

Personal Information We Collect And How:

We collect information through this website that you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and any information submitted through an inquiry form. We may supplement the information you provide with additional data obtained from third parties, including affiliates, marketing or advertising partners, data brokers, and other third-party data providers. Certain third parties are entities that have obtained your personal information from their own services. We also automatically collect additional information using cookies and other tracking technologies to perform analytics on our website and to facilitate advertising. See below for more information.

Types Of Information We May Collect:

“Personal information” is any information the Company creates, collects, uses, or stores in its business operations that identifies, relates to, or could reasonably be connected to a particular consumer or household.

When you sign up for the The Higher Education Time, we collect personal information you provide, including your name, date of birth, street address, e-mail address, and phone number. We also automatically collect information through cookies and similar technologies, such as IP address, imprecise geolocation (inferred from your IP address), device identifiers, timestamps, browsing activity, and click-through data. We may supplement this with information relevant to advertising obtained from data brokers or publicly available databases, including demographics, interests, location history, or purchase records. Please refer to “Your Privacy Rights” below for information on how to exercise your rights.

In accordance with California law, and within the previous twelve (12) months, we have collected personal information belonging to the following categories: identifiers; personal information categories set forth in the California Customer Records Statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)); protected classification characteristics; internet or similar network activity; commercial information; professional or employment-related information; imprecise geolocation data; and inferences generated from other personal information

Information collected through this site may be sold or shared with third parties and our affiliates for marketing and advertising purposes. You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information at any time at here or by calling 855-509-2357.

Sensitive Personal Information

Sensitive Personal Information—such as data related to race or ethnicity, religion, precise geolocation, LGBTQ+ status, health conditions, financial account data, or citizenship—is not directly collected by us. We may, however, collect information automatically through technologies like cookies regarding your interactions with web pages, which could suggest interest in sensitive subject matter or group affiliation. For instance, visiting pages focused on certain ethnic groups or health topics may imply such interest. We do not make these inferences ourselves, but our affiliated companies or other third parties with whom we share personal information may do so. If state or local laws require consent, sensitive inferences will not be made. We do not collect or use personal information about children under 18.

How We Use Data

We use the personal information we obtain to send you newsletters that you sign up for and to provide content or marketing messages by email or via other channels. We will also share personal information with our affiliates and other companies who may also send you marketing messages. You can opt out at any time here. Our use of your personal information is also known as “cross context behavioral advertising” in some cases.

Data Sharing

We share the data we collect with our affiliated companies for marketing uses, and with service providers, including companies that provide services related to cross context behavioral advertising, analytics, advertising fraud detection, web hosting, information security, or other related services. We may also share your data with third parties (including our affiliates) who may further sell or share it. We have contracts in place with any third parties who have access to information to ensure adequate information security measures and compliance with laws. We may also share personal information as required by law, or to protect the health or safety of any person.

In some cases we may disclose your personal information to law enforcement, regulators, judicial authorities, other government entities, or other third parties to comply with any court order, law, or legal process, including to respond to any government or regulatory request; to protect the rights, freedoms, or safety of any person; and/or to enforce or apply our terms of use and other agreements, including, if applicable, for billing and collection purposes.

We may also disclose your personal information to a buyer or other business successor, whether as a going concern or as part of a bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which personal information held by us about our Website users is among the assets transferred to effectuate a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of our assets.

We may also disclose your personal information to a third party for any purpose disclosed by us when you provide the information (either in this privacy policy or on the screen in which you provide that information) for any purpose to which you have consented.

Personalized Advertising, Analytics, and Data Sharing

Third-party advertising and analytics services companies may use information gathered at this site to place advertisements on other websites, perform tracking and reporting functions for those sites and our advertisements, and place third-party advertisements on our Website. These third parties may collect information about the websites you have viewed and advertisements with which you have interacted. Other information that may be collected include your IP address, date and time of interaction, your Internet Service Provider (ISP), and the browser you use to visit this Website. This information may be combined with personal information like your name or email address and may be used to deliver advertising from us or from other companies, through email or through social media sites (known as “cross-context behavioral advertising”). This combined information may also be used to improve our understanding of your interactions with our Website and advertisements.

Cookies, Pixels and Similar Technologies

This website utilizes cookies, pixels, and similar or related technologies to protect this site against online threats; understand the users engage who with our website; choose and display personalized content and advertisements; and track whether or how you respond to advertisements or other content and communications. Cookies are small computer files that are stored on your browser as identifiers so that we or our partners can recognize your browser at certain websites. We do not track everything you do on the Internet, however. You can restrict or delete cookies at any time using your browser settings. If you use a “do not track” setting, we will set an opt-out cookie on your browser to prevent further data collection. If you delete that opt-out cookie, you may need to opt out again to prevent automated data collection from re-starting.

We employ multiple automated technologies to collect information when you interact with our Website. Cookies are small files placed on your computer that allow the Website to function properly. If you choose to reject cookies through your browser, some Website features may not be accessible.

Flash cookies may also be used to store information about Website preferences and user navigation. These cookies are not governed by standard browser controls and can be managed through Adobe’s Flash settings.

In addition, web beacons and similar technologies may be embedded in Website pages and emails to help us analyze engagement, count visitors, monitor system functionality, and generate Website analytics.

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track Preferences

If your browser or device sends a Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) signal or similar universal opt-out preference signal, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale and sharing of your personal information and will process it automatically without requiring you to create an account or take additional steps. We do not attempt to track all of your online browsing activity. You can control or delete cookies using the settings available in your browser. When you enable a “Do Not Track” preference or GPC signal, we place an opt-out cookie in your browser to prevent certain cookies from being used. If you later delete this cookie or modify your GPC preferences, automated data collection may begin again.
