Dorm Dough

Privacy Policy

Last updated 10/4/2025

Overview

Dorm Dough respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when you interact with our website, tools, and waitlist experiences.

Information We Collect

We collect information to deliver helpful money tools and to keep improving the Dorm Dough experience.

  • Information you provide. Details such as your name, email address, school, or feedback that you submit when you join our waitlist, contact us, or respond to surveys.
  • Usage data. Analytics about how you browse our pages, the tools you open, and the device or browser you use. This may involve cookies, log files, and similar technologies.
  • Information from partners. If you connect to third-party tools or follow links we share, we may receive aggregated metrics to help understand performance. This can include anonymized conversion data from affiliate networks so we know which resources help you most. We do not receive your sensitive financial account information from those partners.

How We Use Information

  • Provide, personalize, and improve Dorm Dough content, calculators, and resources.
  • Send updates about new product drops, feature releases, and events when you opt in.
  • Monitor site performance, troubleshoot issues, and guard against fraud or abuse.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

When We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with trusted service providers that help us host the site, send communications, or analyze product usage. These providers only use your data as instructed by us and in line with this policy. We may also share information if required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger or acquisition.

If you click an affiliate link, we may share a hashed identifier, click timestamp, or similar technical data with the affiliate platform so they can track whether a purchase or signup occurred. Affiliate partners use this information solely to verify commissions owed to Dorm Dough and do not receive your name, email, or other direct contact details from us.

Affiliate Links and Sponsorships

Some articles, tools, and recommendation lists include affiliate links or sponsored placements. When you click one of these links and complete an eligible action, Dorm Dough may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We only recommend partners and products we believe can provide value to students and young adults, and affiliate compensation never overrides our editorial judgment.

Affiliate partners may place cookies or use server-to-server tracking to attribute referrals. You can disable cookies from your browser settings or opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting the National Advertising Initiative opt-out page or your device's privacy settings. Doing so may limit the accuracy of affiliate tracking but will not affect your ability to access Dorm Dough content.

Your Choices

  • Opt out of marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link or contacting us directly.
  • Adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being set. Some features may not function without cookies.
  • Request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information by emailing us at the address below.

Data Security

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. While we work hard to secure data, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Dorm Dough is intended for users who are at least 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new features, legal requirements, or changes to our practices. When we make updates we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes may also be communicated by email or a notice on our site.
