Privacy Policy

InPlace recognizes the importance of protecting the confidentiality and privacy of its students and visitors of our website. If you have questions about any portion of our privacy policy, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

What information do we collect?

The only information we collect is the information volunteered by you, the website visitor. For example, we gather information when you enter your email to sign up for our newsletter or apply to a program. However, we will never share, sell, rent, or trade any information with any third-party provider. Our goal is to offer the best service possible and keep you updated on the work we are doing in village communities around the world.

What about emails?

Emails are an essential way for us to stay in touch with you. We use a third-party email marketing platform to deliver emails to folks that sign up. This company employs techniques for tracking open rates and click-throughs by using an email address as an identifier. This data helps us understand if the content we are sending resonates with supporters and prospective students.

Our goal is only to deliver the content that you want. You will be given the option to remove your name from our email list at any time. And, again, we will not share, sell, rent or swap your email address to a third-party.
