California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) offers California residents the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. Triad ICC shares your information in certain cases with a variety of third-party entities as part of the services, since it allows you to interact with scholarship providers and also participate in college and university recruiting along with get information from others related to the college admissions and financial aid process. When you opt to interact with these third-parties, our website passes your information along to them so that they are able to provide more information to you about their scholarship, financial aid, institutional and other programs and offerings.

On occasion, Triad ICC may also provide your personal information to advertisers and other marketing partners who are interested in marketing to your specific demographic in exchange for fees or other consideration. If you do not want us to sell your information as defined by CCPA, we encourage you to opt-out of such sales of your information. Also, if you are a California resident under 16 years of age, we will not sell your information as defined by CCPA unless you opt-in at the time you create an account or at another time that you choose to allow us to sell your information. If you direct us to provide personal information to a third party, the provision of that information is not considered a “sale” under the CCPA.
