Privacy Policy Effective: Aug 3, 2016
This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which CurveSetter, LLC collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User”) of its www.curvesetter.com Site and any derivative or affiliated Sites on which this Privacy Policy is posted (collectively, the “Site”). Please note that this Privacy Policy covers CurveSetter, LLC’ practices regarding information collected from its Site.
The Information CurveSetter, LLC Collects
Like most website operators, CurveSetter, LLC collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use our Site.
Additionally, certain visitors to CurveSetter, LLC’ Site choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with us online – by purchasing packages of tutoring hours – are asked to provide additional information, such as the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. CurveSetter, LLC also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. We do not use such information to identify our visitors, however, and do not disclose such information, other than under the same circumstances that we use and disclose personally- identifying information, as described below. A User browsing the Site without registering an account or affirmatively providing personally identifiable information to CurveSetter, LLC does so anonymously.
CurveSetter, LLC may collect personally identifiable information from customers in a variety of ways. Personally identifiable information may include (i) contact data (such as a customer’s name, mailing and e- mail addresses); (ii) financial data (such as a customer’s credit card number); and (iii) demographic data (such as a customer’s zip code, age and income). A User may also provide personally identifiable information about others, such as emergency contact information for notification in the event a situation requires it. If you communicate with CurveSetter, LLC by e-mail, post messages to forums, or otherwise complete online forms, surveys or contest entries, any information provided in such communication may be collected by CurveSetter, LLC. CurveSetter, LLC may also collect information about how customers use our Site, for example, by tracking the number of unique views received by the pages of the Site, or the domains from which customers originate.
Information Sharing

We treat the confidential information you share with us, such as students’ academic performance and any financial information, with the utmost respect. CurveSetter, LLC will not disclose student records with third parties under any circumstance, except as specifically set forth in this Privacy Policy.
We may, however, share a student’s information with the tutor(s) who may or will be providing tutoring to the student so that they may evaluate the engagement and personalize and tailor the tutoring to the student. In each case, we collect such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with CurveSetter, LLC. We do not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below in the section “How CurveSetter, LLC Uses Information”. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain Site- related activities.
