What we collect
Only what the application form asks for: your name, email, military background (branch, rank, status), academic record (school, GPA, test scores), target law schools, mentorship goals, optional special circumstances, and how you heard about us. We deliberately do not ask for date of birth, address, phone number, SSN, discharge status, or disability information, and we ask you not to include medical or diagnosis details anywhere in the form.
Why, and who sees it
We use your information to pair you with a volunteer mentor who fits your goals and background, and to run the program: reviewing applications, recording pairings, and tracking aggregate outcomes. The people who see it are the program staff who review and match, and the mentor you are paired with (who sees your profile, not your account). We do not sell your information or share it with third parties for their own purposes.
How this is run
Service to School is a nonprofit, and this program is run in large part by part-time volunteers rather than a full-time security team. That is why we keep what we collect deliberately small: the less we hold, the less there is to protect, so we avoid the most sensitive categories entirely (no Social Security number, no financial details, no medical information, no home address). Your information lives in a managed database with access controls, so you can only see your own application and only program staff can see the applicant pool. We follow sound practices but operate on a best-effort basis and cannot promise the security guarantees of a large company. If a problem ever affects your information, we will tell you promptly and work to make it right. We ask for your understanding as a small, volunteer-run effort serving veterans at no cost.
Questions or deletion
This program is run by Service to School. To ask a question, or to have your information deleted, email s2s.jd@service2school.org. Submitting the application records your agreement to this policy; if it changes in a meaningful way, we will ask again.
