The profile is not searchable on Crowdfund Campus or via search engines like Google. The below is a list of some of the things that will be publicly viewable on your profile, or elsewhere on the site:

We may send you service-related announcements on the rare occasions when it is necessary to do so.
Cookies are small pieces of information which are issued to your computer when you visit a website and which store and sometimes track information about your use of the service. Crowdfund Campus uses cookies to help recognize you as a repeat visitor, to improve the quality of our service, and to try and make your browsing experience meaningful.
When you enter our site, our web server sends a cookie to your computer which allows us to recognize your computer but not specifically who is using it. By associating the identification numbers in the cookies with other customer information when, for example, you log-in to the service, we know that the cookie information relates to you. Some of the code and cookies used by our service are served by us, and some are served by third parties who are delivering services on our behalf.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but, if you prefer, you can change your browser settings to opt out or to notify you each time a cookie is set up. You can also learn more about cookies by visiting www.allaboutcookies.org which includes additional useful information on cookies and how to block cookies using different browsers. By blocking or deleting cookies used on our site, you may not be able to take full advantage of our services and the site.
To modify or delete the personal information you have provided to us, please log in and update your profile. We may retain certain information as required by law or for necessary business purposes. On request, and upon paying a small fee, we will give you a copy of all the personal information about you that we hold.
People under 18 (or the legal age in your jurisdiction) are not permitted to use Crowdfund Campus on their own, and so this privacy policy makes no provision for their use of the site. Information that you submit through the service may be transferred to countries other than where you reside. We will protect all information we receive in accordance with this privacy policy.
Any changes we may make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page.
