Privacy Policy

Effective: September 23, 2008

At PrivateTutorDirectory.com (PTD), we are fully committed to the protection and security of any information that you provide to us as users of our website. We want you to know that we truly respect and will protect your privacy, so you can enjoy using our services which allow us to better serve your needs.

Throughout this Privacy Policy our users may be referred to as “Guests,” “Members,” and “Friends” as reflected on our About Us page at http://www.privatetutordirectory.com/about

Our Privacy Policy discloses our approach to privacy and how your personal information is collected and used. Your use of our website constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy and your consent to the practices it describes. This Privacy Policy applies to the Public side and Member side of our PrivateTutorDirectory.com website.

What Information We Collect

Generally speaking, our website is informational. We do not collect any personally identifiable information from you unless you voluntarily provide it, such as when you send us an email, fill out our contact form, fill out our Member registration form, fill out our Friend Agreement and Terms and Conditions, or fill out our Kroll background check authorization form.

When you sign up to be a Member or Friend your purchase will be processed through PayPal. We direct you to their Privacy Policy for more information regarding their privacy practices. We may use your billing information to contact you when necessary to fulfill your order.

PrivateTutorDirectory.com is not intended for use by those people under the age of 18. PrivateTutorDirectory.com does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from those people under 18 years of age.

As is the case when you visit most websites, to administer our site, your visit triggers the automatic logging of certain anonymous information about your computer system such as the type of browser you use, the server name and your “IP” (Internet Protocol) address. When your web browser or email application requests a web page or email from another computer using the Internet, it automatically gives that computer the “address” where it should send the information. This is called your computer’s “IP address.” This address does not contain any personally identifiable information.

How We Protect Your Information

We also want you, our visitors, to know that we take the security of your information very seriously and that we take appropriate measures to protect the files in our data system. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to guard your nonpublic personal information.

You need to know, however, that due to the open communicative nature of the Internet we cannot guarantee that communication between you and us, and between us and you, will be free from unauthorized access by third parties nor can we be responsible for information stolen from our servers or computer systems by information harvesting software which may have the ability to scrape data.

How We Use Your Information

When we ask you for information, we tell you, or it will be clear, why we need any personally identifying information from you either to fulfill a request from you or to provide information or services to you, such as when you send us an email, fill out our contact form or when you sign up to be a Member or Friend.

Your personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, and phone number, is not shared with affiliated or unaffiliated third parties, without your consent, such as when you, as a Member, request a background check.

We may have to disclose, transfer, sell or assign your information obtained through this website, or otherwise in our possession, to a third party as a result of a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of substantial assets, reorganization or liquidation of PTD. We may also have to make information obtained through this website, or otherwise in our possession, available to law enforcement personnel and agencies when requested to do so or as required by law.
