PrepAccelerator respects your privacy. We do not collect personally identifiable information about you unless you voluntarily provide it, such as when you provide email contact information to subscribe to the PrepAccelerator email list newsletter, send feedback to PrepAccelerator, register for one of PrepAccelerator’s courses, or respond to a survey. If you voluntarily provide your email address or other contact information, we might also use it to inform you of changes to PrepAccelerator or its products and services, to survey you about your use or opinion of PrepAccelerator, or to ask for your support. At your request, we will remove your contact information from our files.
When you provide us with personal information to become a learner on our site, make a purchase, or participate in the course, you imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.
By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are the age of majority in your state or province of residence.
If you are below the age of 16, you may use our website only with the permission and active involvement of a parent or legal guardian. If you are a minor, please do not provide us or other website visitors with any personal information and do not use this website. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 13 without verification of parental consent, we may delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected].
The parent email address will be added to PrepAccelerator's informative no-spam, no-cost newsletter, where timetables; testing updates; strategies for the ACT, SAT, and PSAT; and new product announcements are shared. By subscribing to this on-demand program, you are consenting to being added to our newsletter. You may opt out of the newsletter at any time.
We do not make your contact information or any other personally identifiable information available to anyone outside PrepAccelerator or its service providers (who use the information only for authorized PrepAccelerator purposes) unless we are legally required to do so.
In addition to the above, we collect certain anonymous (non-personally identifiable) information to help us improve the PrepAccelerator web site and to evaluate the access and use of PrepAccelerator materials and the impact of PrepAccelerator on the worldwide educational community.
We collect information you provide about your use of and satisfaction with PrepAccelerator through email you send us, through the PrepAccelerator feedback form, and through PrepAccelerator surveys.
Wherever you provide sensitive information (such as credit card data), this information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of every page on our website.
If you make a purchase on our site, we use a third-party payment processor such as Stripe or PayPal. Payments are encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction.
If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored with a AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our site and related courses and its service providers.
We may use web analysis tools that are built into the PrepAccelerator web site to measure and collect anonymous session information.
We also use “cookies” to improve your PrepAccelerator web experience and to collect anonymous information about how you use PrepAccelerator. However, cookies are not required for PrepAccelerator use. If your browser is configured not to accept cookies, you will still be able to access PrepAccelerator and its content.
When we report information about PrepAccelerator access, use, and impact, we report aggregate, non-personally identifiable data. Occasionally, we report quoted feedback from users. We do not attribute feedback to specific individuals unless we obtain permission to use that person’s name along with the feedback. We may use any written or electronic communication from the student family, including but not limited to endorsements, reviews, and feedback, in our testimonials on websites, social media, newsletters, and other marketing or advertising formats. Any such language will be anonymized before it is used: specifically, no personal information of the student family members will be used.
Personal data may be shared with third parties to prevent, investigate, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Service or any other agreement related to the services, or as otherwise required by law.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
Our website contains links to other sites like ACT and College Board. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
We keep this privacy policy under regular review, so the terms of this policy may change from time to time. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal data, we will notify you by posting the revised policy on this website or by other means when appropriate. Your continued use of this website constitutes your consent to such revised privacy policy.
If you are concerned about the topics covered by this policy, you should read it each time before you use our website. Any questions or concerns about this policy should be brought to our attention by sending an e-mail to [email protected] and providing us with information relating to your concern.
