SheerID determines if you are enrolled as a student by instantly connecting with authoritative data sources, like the office of the registrar for a university. 

We collect some basic personal information that can confirm your eligibility on behalf of the brand making the offer, and as a way to communicate with you or deliver your reward. We may also ask you to upload school-issued documentation if your information is not instantly verified. Documents are purged automatically once they have been reviewed and everything provided to SheerID is protected by rigorous protocols.

You can check out the Student FAQ for more details on how to verify your student status: https://verify.sheerid.com/student-faq-b/#who-is-sheerid
