Whenever an internet service does not charge for its products, user attention is the asset on the table. Bold.org's privacy policy clarifies that your profile information, intended majors, career interests, graduation timelines, and geographic location, powers its internal ecosystem.
The company states it does not sell raw personal records to third-party data brokers. However, it leverages targeted partner marketing. When students apply to corporate-backed scholarships, they frequently consent to receive product messages, promotional newsletters, and targeted advertisements from that corporate sponsor.
