The security of our customers’ data is of paramount importance to NeedMyTranscript. That is why when NeedMyTranscript recently became aware of a specific vulnerability in the security of some of our files, we fixed that vulnerability within hours, ordered a security scan by our host provider to confirm that no malware was installed, and hired an experienced cybersecurity firm to investigate and assist with security. We have also performed follow-up fixes to enhance the security of your data. Fortunately, to date no malware has been found. We also do not believe that any customer information was accessed by someone intending to commit identity theft, although our investigation continues. We look forward to implementing appropriate recommendations from the cybersecurity firm and continuing to provide efficient service to our customers.

Please be assured that, as part of our ongoing efforts to protect our customers’ information, NeedMyTranscript does not store customer high school transcripts, credit card numbers or full social security numbers on our website. We also use a third party payment system so your credit card information is not processed, stored nor viewable on our site. Although we don’t believe that you are at risk of harm as a result of this vulnerability, we still recommend that all of our customers use good judgment in not responding to emails or other inquiries by those posing as a financial institution or other entities seeking your personal information. If you have any reason to believe your information on our site has been improperly accessed and used by a third party, please contact us via email at privacy@needmytranscript.com as soon as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and hope this information is useful to you. We thank you for your business.

If you are a "Requester" and have questions, or need assistance, please email us at: support@needmytranscript.com

Please remember you are not required to use this service. If you prefer to contact the high school or district directly to request your transcript, please do not complete our online form.
