Privacy Policy
Last updated September 19, 2026
Summit Tutoring (“we,” “I”) provides online AP Calculus AB coaching. Most of the people we work with are high-school students, so we collect as little as we need, never sell it, and let parents see and control their student’s information. This policy explains what we collect, why, and your choices.
What we collect
Information you give us
- Inquiry and waitlist forms: name, email, phone number (optional), student grade level, whether you’re a parent or student, the program you’re interested in, how you heard about us, and anything you write in the message box.
- Founding Scholarship applications: the above, plus school, current AP Calc grade, Readiness Check score (if shared), your written answers, and the agreements you check.
- The Readiness Check: your answers, your score, and the contact details you enter to receive your results.
- Bookings: name, email, phone (optional), notes, and the time you choose.
- Accounts (created only by invitation): name, email, role, grade level, and the link between a parent and their student.
- Coursework: assignment answers, scores, feedback, and photos of handwritten work that a student uploads.
- Payments: the amount, what it was for, and a Stripe reference. Card details are entered on Stripe’s own page and never reach our servers.
Information collected automatically
- Sign-in cookies that keep you logged in to your dashboard.
- A referral cookie (
st_src, kept for up to 90 days) that remembers which flyer or link brought you to the site, so we know which outreach works. It contains only a short channel tag, not personal information. - Standard server logs kept by our hosting provider (such as IP address and browser type).
We don’t use advertising trackers or third-party analytics, and we don’t sell or rent personal information.
How we use it
- To respond to inquiries, review scholarship applications, and schedule consultations and sessions.
- To deliver coaching: assign and grade practice, track progress, and send parent progress reports.
- To send emails you’d expect: results, confirmations, calendar invites, and session reminders.
- To process payments and refunds.
- To understand which outreach channels bring families to us.
Who we share it with
We share information only with the services that run the business, and only what each one needs:
- Supabase — database, accounts, and file storage (including work photos).
- Vercel — website hosting.
- Stripe — payment processing.
- Resend — sending email.
- Telegram — private notifications to the tutor when a form is submitted (name, contact details, and the form answers).
- Twilio — text-message reminders, if you gave a phone number and SMS is enabled.
- Anthropic — used by staff to help draft practice questions. No student information is sent.
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect someone’s safety.
Students and minors
Our services are intended for high-school students with a parent or guardian involved. For students under 18, a parent or guardian approves the account, and parent accounts can see their student’s progress. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent; if we learn we have, we delete it. Parents can review, correct, or delete their student’s information at any time by emailing hello@mail.summit-tutors.com.
Testimonials
We share a student’s or family’s feedback publicly only with a parent’s permission, using first name and last initial unless you agree to more. Feedback from families who received a free scholarship is always labeled as such.
How long we keep it
Inquiry and Readiness Check information is kept while it’s useful for following up, and deleted on request. Account and coursework information is kept while the account is active and for a reasonable period afterward so families can refer back to it. Payment records are kept as long as tax and accounting rules require.
Your choices
- Ask to see, correct, or delete your information — email hello@mail.summit-tutors.com.
- Unsubscribe from non-essential emails by replying “unsubscribe.”
- Clear cookies in your browser at any time (you’ll need to log in again).
Security
Access to student information is restricted by role — students see their own work, parents see their own children’s, and answer keys are never sent to students’ browsers. No system is perfectly secure, but we use encrypted connections and reputable providers, and we’ll notify affected families promptly if something goes wrong.
Changes
If we change this policy, we’ll update the date above, and email account holders about significant changes.
