outlined below. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not
use this site. Since we may change our Internet Privacy Policy from

CollegeAdvantage has a responsibility to protect its computing
resources. If we believe an attempt is being made through the
Internet to break into or otherwise abuse our computer systems or

Terms and Conditions
Collection of personal information
We collect nonpublic personal information about you from you on
applications, correspondence, forms or through other forms of
communication, as well as transaction information with respect to
your account(s), in order to open and maintain your
CollegeAdvantage account(s).
It is the Tuition Trust's policy to protect the
confidentiality of customer information, whether or not a person
currently participates in CollegeAdvantage. In particular, it is
not only Tuition Trust policy, but also statutorily
prohibited for the Tuition Trust to sell information
about CollegeAdvantage account owners or CollegeAdvantage accounts
to any outside firm. Safeguards and procedures are in place to
prevent unauthorized access to computer systems and to protect
personal information from unauthorized use. CollegeAdvantage has
always maintained the highest standards in limiting the number
of Tuition Trust employees who may access your
confidential personal information. A small group of Tuition
Trust employees may access such information for limited
business purposes. For instance, an account owner may call our
customer service department and give permission to a customer
service representative to access his or her account to answer
questions about the account. Account owners have the right to
request a copy of the confidential personal information on file
with the Tuition Trust.
Under certain circumstances, the Tuition Trust does
share information with outside vendors who provide services to
CollegeAdvantage, such as financial institutions, fulfillment,
mailing, market research and data processing vendors. In those
cases, the firms with whom the Tuition Trust does business enter
into confidentiality agreements, and the information is limited to
only what is necessary to generate mailings, process transactions,
analyze operations and perform other services related to your
CollegeAdvantage account(s).
Voluntary Submissions
If you are submitting a message to CollegeAdvantage that requires a
response, you may need to provide some specific, personal
information. This information can include your full name, account
number, Social Security number, or your home address.
It is voluntary for you to engage in these activities.

feature to add more security.
