of birth, address, e-mail address, telephone number, grade level and the test for
which you are preparing.
REASONS WE COLLECT
YOUR PERSONAL IDENTIFYING INFORMATION
Hastham.com collects personal
information from you primarily for three reasons. The first reason is to customize
your test preparation course. The second reason is to allow Hastham.com to be able
to contact you with test preparation content and communications and, when necessary,
password information. The third reason is that sponsors and other commercial partners
of Hastham.com or Hastham.com itself on their behalf, may contact you regarding
student loans, other financial aid products, and special offers, discounts and promotions,
provided you have consented to such contact by indicating an interest in receiving
relevant materials. Any user, who does not wish to be contacted by sponsors and
business partners, or Hastham.com on their behalf, can decline to receive such communications
when enrolling. If you initially chose to receive commercial communications and
later want to discontinue such communications, you should login to Hastham.com,
click on "change the settings on your account" to go to your control panel, and
click on the link that says: Click here if you don't want to receive any more such
e-mails.

collect any personally identifiable information other than what users submit and
their browsers transmit.
