PRIVACY POLICY

Last Updated: June 10, 2025

We respect and are committed to protecting your privacy. That is why we have adopted this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy lets you know how your personal information is processed and explains data collection and use practices for TheVarsity.com. By accessing TheVarsity.com, you are consenting to the information collection and use practices described in this Privacy Policy.

IP ADDRESSES

Every computer connected to the Internet is given a domain name and a set of numbers that serve as that computer’s “Internet Protocol” IP address. When a visitor requests a page from any Web site within the Varsity Network, our Web servers automatically recognize that visitor’s domain name and IP address. The domain name and IP address reveal nothing personal about you other than the IP address from which you have accessed our Sites. We use this information to examine our traffic in aggregate. We do not collect and evaluate this information for specific individuals. Our Web servers do not automatically record the e-mail addresses of the visitors.

COOKIES

From time to time, TheVarsity.com may send a "cookie" to your computer when you are visiting the website. A cookie is a small piece of data that is sent to your Internet browser from a Web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. A cookie can’t read data off of your computer hard disk or read cookie files created by other websites. Cookies do not damage your system. We use cookies to identify which areas of the website that you have visited, so the next time you visit, those pages may be readily accessible.

You have the right to control and opt-out of cookies by taking the following actions: You can: (i) change the settings of your Internet browser to refuse or delete cookies; or (ii) use our website’s cookie management tool to manage your preferences.

The reason we use this analytics suite is to better understand how users interact with our website to make the general experience better and more streamlined. You can opt-out of google analytics by visiting google and blocking the analytics cookie. We adhere to Google’s terms of service with regard to the products we use.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

Whenever you enter your personal information on TheVarsity.com, you can be assured that we will never sell, give away, or otherwise divulge that information to anyone outside TheVarsity.com and our affiliates.
