CC CourseMap is a free tool that helps people find community college courses available for auditing across the Virginia Community College System (VCCS). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about the data we collect.
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This collects anonymous data such as pages visited, time spent on site, device type, and general geographic region. This information helps us improve the site. We do not use this data for advertising purposes.
If you sign up for notifications (e.g., to be alerted when new semester schedules are posted), we collect your email address. We use a double opt-in process: after signing up, you'll receive a confirmation email and must click a verification link before receiving any notifications. We will only use your email for the specific purpose you signed up for. We do not sell or share your email with third parties. Every notification email includes an unsubscribe link so you can opt out at any time.
When you search for courses or enter a zip code, this data is processed on our servers to return results. We do not permanently store your search queries or zip codes.
Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish unique visitors and track sessions. These are first-party cookies set by Google. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
We may display ads through Google AdSense or similar networks to help cover the costs of running this site. These ad networks may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
Our site contains links to external websites, including VCCS college websites and courses.vccs.edu. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites.
Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics default retention settings. Email addresses collected for notifications are retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Unverified email subscriptions that are never confirmed may be periodically removed.
You may request deletion of any personal data we hold (such as your email address) by contacting us. You may also unsubscribe from notifications at any time.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
If you have questions about this privacy policy, please open an issue on our GitHub repository.
