Tutoring Club is dedicated to providing informative and useful information about its products and services through online, mobile, and other software and related systems and platforms, as well as any in-person, telephone, or other offline locations or through other aspects of Tutoring Club’s business (collectively, the “System”), including, without limitation, on and through the website located at tutoringclub.com, and/or other portions of the System designated by Tutoring Club from time to time. As a part of the operation of the System, Tutoring Club gathers certain data about users.

This Data Privacy and Use Policy (“Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) applies to the System and governs data collection and usage at, on and through the System. Please read this Policy carefully. Each time you use, browse, or otherwise access any part of the System, you signify your acceptance of the then-current Policy, including, without limitation, the then current terms found elsewhere on the System. If you do not agree with this Policy, you are not authorized to access or otherwise use the website, mobile application, or any other part of the System.

What personal information do we collect from the people that visit our website or app?

As you navigate any part of the System, you will find that there are several online forms or other locations which you can use to request information regarding a specific product or service. In order for Tutoring Club to effectively enable the System and allow access to certain content or otherwise facilitate Tutoring Club’s business Tutoring Club does collect and use certain data. Two types of data are collected: (a) personal data, such as names, company names, postal addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, occupation, dates of birth, age, gender, financial information, credit card information, bank account information, social security information, product and/or service preferences, photographs, and comments that can be used to uniquely identify or contact a single person (“Personal Data”); and (b) non-personal aggregate or traffic data, such as your IP address, which web pages or portions of the System you are visiting, the order in which the areas are visited, unique device identifier, time zone, which hyperlinks or functions are being “clicked”, how many users are visiting or accessing the System, vehicles sites viewed, domain server, location-based or real-time geographic location information, type of computer or device, and type of web browser (“Traffic Data” and together with Personal Data, the “Collected Data”).

When do we collect information?

We collect information from you when you register on our System, submit authentication credentials, place an order, make a reservation, subscribe to a newsletter, respond to a survey, fill out a form, enter information through our System, provide us with feedback on our products or services, browse our website, use certain website features, or otherwise provide us information.

Personal Data is also gathered about others when users share content with family, friends, or other contacts, without limitation, the name, email address, phone number, and mailing address.

Traffic Data is tracked and gathered when you and other users visit or access the System. While gathering Traffic Data may not collect Personal Data, it may provide information on the geographical location from which users access the System. Traffic Data generally does not identify individual users. Instead, the Traffic Data identifies System users as a whole, including demographic information, preferences in content and advertising, quality of service, and web and application traffic patterns.
