PRIVACY & PERMISSION
Your story.
Your permission.
27ERS collects the information you enter in the official submission form and any optional photo you upload to review and create student features.
What may be published
After approval, your name, school, city, focus, interests, accomplishments, future plans, vision for age 27, optional social handle and approved photo may appear on this website. Your permission also covers approved 27ERS social features.
What stays private
Your email, age, parent or guardian email and review status are kept in the team’s protected review area. We do not ask for home addresses, phone numbers, GPA, test scores or financial records.
Students under 18
A parent or guardian must review the submission with the student and provide permission before submitting. The team may follow up to confirm permission before publication. The form is for ages 13 and older.
Referrals
If you use a referral link or enter a referral code, we store that code with your submission so the team can credit approved referrals. Referral codes do not contain email addresses. Referral counts and inviter information stay in the protected team review area.
Review and removal
Submitting does not automatically publish a profile. To correct information, withdraw permission or request removal of a profile and its stored photo, email the team with your submission reference or name and school. We may ask you to confirm your identity. Copies already shared by others may be outside our control.
Business and organization offers
We store offer details and the submitter’s contact information for review. Contact names and email addresses stay in the protected back office. Approved organization names, offer details, eligibility, redemption instructions, codes, links, locations and expiration dates appear publicly in Student Offers.
Member community
Membership requests store your sign-in email, display name, school, interests, age and guardian email where applicable. Approved members can see other approved members’ names, schools and interests, and approved profile photos and logo choices matched to the same email. Messages are visible only to approved members after moderator approval. My School discussions are limited to members with the same school name.
We store posts, replies, moderation status, reports and blocks to operate the community. Email addresses, ages, guardian details and reports are available only to the team. Blocking filters another member’s content from your view; it does not stop that member from seeing your posts. Contact the team to request corrections or removal.
Photos and content
Only submit content you have the right to share. Avoid including other students without their permission. Do not include sensitive personal information in your story.

Your account and pilot feedback
Your sign-in email links your profile and membership requests. Profile updates require review; an approved version stays visible until an update is approved. Account status notifications appear while you visit the website. Feedback and your email are visible only to administrators. Email alerts are not enabled.
Parent permission is a declaration, not automatic verification. The team must confirm permission with the guardian before approving a minor.
Member directory
Approved members can search the directory and view approved stories. You can hide your directory entry in community settings. This does not remove your public profile or messages. Member reports are visible only to the moderation team.
Sponsored placements
Approved paid advertisements appear on the public homepage during their scheduled dates and are labeled Sponsored. Provider contact details stay in the admin back office. Payment is arranged directly with the team; this website does not collect payment details.
