Student Discount
As of 2023, Papa Giraffe is providing students with a 30% student discount code, but to do so we request our customers to submit a photo of their STUDENT ID and upload it to our database. Due to the sensitive nature of this information; Papa Giraffe is taking the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of this information.
Papa Giraffe asks for a student ID and not a student transcript as it has less personal information on it. The submitted student ID is then checked by one specific staff member that will later on either approve or deny the request. If the staff member decided to deny the request, the document submitted will then be deleted from our databases. But upon approval we will be storing the document on our encrypted hard drive until the duration of the discount is over or the discount code has been used 3 (THREE) times; which ever comes first. The customer may request that their document(s) to be deleted even after having received their approval and discount code.
