Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

AP Whiteboard ("AP Whiteboard," "we," "us," or "our") provides online, one-on-one Advanced Placement (AP) tutoring services to students around the world. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect through apwhiteboard.org (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site or registering for our courses, you agree to the practices described here.

AP Whiteboard is currently operated as an individual online tutoring business based in Europe and is not a registered corporate entity. References to "we" or "us" refer to the individual(s) operating AP Whiteboard.

When you register for a demo class, an AP course, or sign up for updates, we may collect information you provide directly, such as:

• Email address and contact number
• Country and city of residence
• School / institution name
• Course, schedule, and tutor preferences
• Any other information you choose to share when contacting us (e.g. via our query form or WhatsApp)

Like most websites, our Site also uses Google Tag Manager to understand how visitors use the Site. This may involve cookies and similar technologies that collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referring website. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; some parts of the Site may not function as intended if you do.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Process your registration and get in touch about your course, schedule, or demo class
• Send you confirmation emails and important service communications
• Respond to questions or requests you send us
• Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it
• Comply with legal obligations, where applicable

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

To operate the Site and deliver our services, we rely on the following third-party providers, who process certain data on our behalf:

• Formspree — processes form submissions (registrations, queries, updates sign-ups)
• Resend — delivers transactional emails, such as registration confirmations
• Google Tag Manager — website analytics and tag management
• Vercel — website hosting

These providers may store or process data on servers located outside your country of residence, including in the United States.

5. Children's Privacy

Most students who register for our courses are under the age of 18. If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must review this Privacy Policy and provide consent before you register. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a minor without such consent. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information without your consent, please contact us at info@apwhiteboard.org and we will take appropriate steps to address it.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, respond to inquiries, and comply with legal or legitimate business obligations. If you would like us to delete your information, contact us using the details below.

7. Your Rights

Regardless of where you live, you may contact us at info@apwhiteboard.org to:

• Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information
• Ask us to delete your information
• Withdraw consent to future communications

We will do our best to respond to these requests promptly.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the personal information we collect. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Data Transfers

Because we serve students around the world and rely on service providers based in other countries, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in countries other than your own, which may have different data protection laws than your home country.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent changes. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
