Security & Safety Tips

Quads U strives to provide site users with a safe and secure experience. We respect your privacy & safety and have implemented industry-standard best practices to help keep your personal information safe whenever you use our service.

Security on the internet

To combat internet fraud and common scams, Quads U uses HTTPS encryption on all pages where you submit personal information. This is a common practice on bank and credit card websites since it keeps your information safe when you use a wireless or non-encrypted network. As an additional level of security, we encrypt all sensitive data in our system for safekeeping.
You can help keep Quads U secure, too. Always keep your username and password safe and remember to close your internet browser after each visit to the site..

How to Have a Safer and Better Experience.

When choosing virtual college tour guides, start by checking out reviews and ratings from other students. Consider having your parent or guardian be logged in with you during the tour. Trust your instincts and don't hesitate to end the tour if something doesn't feel right. You may choose to record the session for your safety and it can be viewed by our staff if you choose to report it.
To ensure the safety and privacy of all participants, it is strictly prohibited for students and guides to interact outside the designated platform. Any attempt to do so may result in immediate removal from the program to maintain a secure environment for all involved.

Keep personal information private

Never include your last name, e-mail address, home address, phone number, place of work, or any other identifying information in initial e-mail messages or communications. Stop communicating with anyone who pressures you for personal or financial information or attempts in any way to trick you into revealing it. Do not exchange personal contact information until you are completely comfortable and until you have payment information on file with Quads U.

Discuss the meeting with a parent or guardian.

We require that if you do book an in-person meeting that you meet in a public area and you are accompanied by a parent or guardian. If you are under the age of 18 we require that you have permission from your parent or guardian to utilize this website.
