Frequently Asked
Questions
What personal information will
edmatrix.us collect from me?
Information is collected in
several different ways and for a variety of
reasons. For example, personal identifiable
information is collected when you register for
edmatrix.us's
personalization services (Alumni, Student
Exchange Program, Suppliers/ Vendors Section and
so on).
During such
registration,
edmatrix.us asks for your name,
address, contact number, e-mail address, and
other information. The more information you
provide, the better we are able to customize our
services for you, allowing you to fully benefit
from our many offerings. We may also ask you for
personal information when you make a purchase
from us or from one of our service partners; or
when you enter promotions sponsored by
Edmatrix.us or our service partners; or when
you request for specific services. Any
transactions that require the collection of
sensitive data such as your credit card
information will be done over fully secured
servers using sophisticated encryption
technology for your protection.

Who
is collecting my personal
information?
When you provide edmatrix.us with your personal
information, you are providing it to us alone,
unless otherwise explicitly stated. For example,
some services, such as Student Exchange
Programs, Alumni Management, Suppliers &
Vendors Services, are offered in conjunction
with our service partners. To provide such
co-branded services, it is necessary that we
provide them with required personal information
about you. If you do not want your information
shared with such partners, you can decline to
use that particular service.
Some promotions
or services may include the collection of
personal information that may be shared with
sponsors or other companies. For example,
information collected from you in the Student

businesses eg. Travel Agents, who may have
services of interest to you. You can decide not
to complete your information if you do not want
your data shared.
Edmatrix.us advertisers and web sites
