A+ Skills Tutoring™ deeply respects the rights of privacy of its clients and wants to assure you that your privacy is our concern. We have instigated our Privacy Policy in order to demonstrate this commitment to your privacy. A+ Skills Tutoring™ wants you to feel confident about the privacy and security of your personal information as well as your student’s.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may ask you for personal identifiable information about your student and family situation in order to allow us to provide professional tutoring services. For example, you may be asked to complete a Parent/Student Information Form. This information is important for both our educational diagnostic process as well as the on-going tutoring. This information is kept confidential. Any details that you provide to us are stored for use on future occasions, as we do not want you to give us any information more than once.
We may determine that it is advisable that we discuss details of your student or his (her) progress with your student’s teacher or counselor. In those cases, the parent or guardian will be asked to complete a Release (Teacher Information Permission Form) which gives us permission to have those conversations (unless the student is eighteen years old or over and then the student can complete the Release Form). The results of those conversations are kept confidential. If you do not complete and sign the Release, we will not contact the teachers or counselors.
Once you register on the A+ Skills Tutoring™ web site and/or sign in for our services, you are no longer anonymous to us. Any details that you provide to us are stored for use on future visits. Personally identifiable information may be combined with other information in order to improve our services. However, the information is kept confidential.
We may collect and retain the e-mail addresses of those who communicate with us via e-mail; the e-mail addresses of those who become members at our website or Forum; user-specific information on which pages the users access or visit; and information volunteered by the user, such as survey information and/or site registrations. The information we collect may be used to improve the content of our website, customize the content and/or layout of our pages for each individual visitor, notify consumers about updates to our website and contact members for marketing purposes. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us in the future, please contact us to that effect.
The information that we collect shall remain confidential and may be used by A+ Skills Tutoring™ only and will not be sold or traded to any non A+ Skills Tutoring™ entity.
CREDIT CARD INFORMATION
When submitting a credit card to us, A+ Skills Tutoring™ may submit information to the credit institution for normal, routine processing. A+ Skills Tutoring™ does not share credit history or credit card information with other unaffiliated companies or third parties, unless compelled by law or court order to do so. We respect the privacy of our clients.
OTHER INFORMATION
We reserve the right to disclose user information in special cases, such as when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our website, services, rights or property. We may disclose user information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or if A+ Skills Tutoring™ sells all or a portion of its business or engages in a merger or other corporate transaction, so long as the buyer or surviving entity agrees to keep such information confidential under similar terms as stated herein.
We store your sensitive information in secure operating environments that are not available to the general public. We have taken all necessary safeguards and security measures to protect your privacy. However, you recognize and accept that under the current technology, where A+ Skills Tutoring™ sometimes uses technical protective security programs in conjunction with its services, that A+ Skills Tutoring™ in any way whatsoever provide or imply an absolute warranty of security and protection to you.
