Privacy & Terms Statement – Effective January 1, 2025
At Study Smart Tutors, Inc., we value your trust and are committed to safeguarding your personal information. This Privacy & Terms Statement outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you interact with our website, software, applications, or services (“Services”). By accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge and consent to the data collection and use practices described herein.
We may collect personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, phone number, and other contact details, as well as technical and usage-related data including browser type, IP address, device identifiers, location data, pages visited, and preferences. This information may be provided voluntarily by you or collected automatically via cookies and tracking technologies. Such data is used to support essential website functionality, improve user experience, provide program communications, enhance security, analyze traffic patterns, and deliver tailored content or advertisements.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Data may only be shared with authorized third-party service providers under confidentiality obligations for business operations or with government or legal entities when required to comply with the law, enforce our Terms of Use, investigate potential violations, prevent fraud, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or asset transfer. We retain data only as long as necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations, comply with applicable laws, support operational needs, or protect our legitimate business interests.
Your privacy rights vary based on your jurisdiction. We comply with all applicable U.S. privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CPRA), Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), and similar statutes in other states.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), we also adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including rights to data portability and consent withdrawal.
We use cookies and similar tracking tools to enable core site functions, remember your preferences, analyze performance metrics, and personalize your experience. By selecting “Accept All Cookies” or using our Services, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this Privacy Policy. You may manage or revoke your cookie preferences at any time through our “Cookie Settings” tool.
We implement industry-standard security safeguards, including TLS encryption and secure server infrastructure, to protect your personal information in transit and at rest. While we take reasonable steps to ensure the security of your data, no transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Users are responsible for securing their devices when accessing our Services.
If you wish to access, update, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data—or if you would like to opt in or opt out of communications or data collection preferences—you may contact us at [email protected] at any time.
