We will still send you transactional messages related to a request you initiated.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Our Services are directed to parents/guardians and to students aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
For students under 18, we expect a parent or guardian to be involved in the enrollment process and to consent to the collection and use of the student's information as described in this Policy.

The Site may link to third-party websites or tools we do not control. This Policy does not apply to those third parties, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
We operate primarily in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the U.S., you understand your information may be processed in the U.S., where data-protection laws may differ from those in your country.
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" above and post the updated Policy on this page. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect means you accept the updated Policy.
