Disclosure of Information

Unless you expressly give us permission in writing to do so, Prima will not sell, rent, license, or trade your Personal Information other than as specified in this Privacy Policy.

Disclosures to Third Parties Assisting In Our Operations. Prima may share your personal information under confidentiality agreements with other companies that work with, or on behalf of, Prima to provide products and services, such as a cloud hosting company or a candidate background screening service for tutors. These companies may use your personal information to assist Prima in its operations. However, Prima does not grant companies any independent right to share this information.

Disclosures Under Special Circumstances. We may provide information about you to respond to subpoenas, court orders, legal process or governmental regulations, or to establish or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims. We believe it is necessary to share information in order to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, or as otherwise required by law. In such circumstances, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that the requester understands the sensitive nature of the personal information that they may receive.

Business Transfers. We may share your Personal Information with other business entities in connection with the sale, assignment, merger or other transfer of all or a portion of Prima’s business to such business entity. We will require any such successor business entity to honor the terms of this Privacy Policy.

Other Disclosures. We may also disclose information collected from and about you as follows: (1) to our marketing partners, advertisers or other third parties, who may contact you with their own offers; (2) as necessary if we believe that there has been a violation of the Terms of Use or Privacy Policy, or of our rights or the rights of any third party; and (3) for any good faith reason Prima deems necessary. We may share aggregate, non-personally identifiable information about users with third parties.

Please note that if you voluntarily submit any personal information for posting on the Site, such as a review or a blog post, the information becomes publicly available and can be collected and used by others, so you should use care before posting information about yourself online.

Interest-Based Advertising

We may use third-party advertising companies that use tracking technologies to serve our advertisements across the Internet. These companies may collect information about your visits to the Site and other websites and your interaction with our advertising and other communications. These advertising companies serve ads on behalf of us and others on non-affiliated sites, and some of those ads may be personalized, meaning that they are intended to be relevant to you based on information collected about your visits to the Site and elsewhere over time. Other companies may also use such technology to advertise on our Site. You have the choice to tell us not to collect and use this information, and in some jurisdictions, we will only engage in interest-based advertising if you opt-in.

Retention of Personal Information

Personal information that we collect, access or process will be retained only as long as necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes for which it was collected, unless otherwise provided in agreements between you and Prima or as required or authorized by law.

Security

The security of your data is very important to Prima. We have implemented appropriate security measures preventing your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed. However, you should know that no website operator, including Prima, can fully eliminate security risks associated with personal information. While Prima has endeavored to create a secure and reliable website for users, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from the Site or via e-mail cannot be guaranteed.

You understand and agree that it is your sole responsibility to ensure protection of your password and other sign-in information.

Children’s Privacy Protection

Prima understands the importance of protecting children's privacy in the interactive online world. In order for children under 13 years of age to obtain tutoring sessions through the Platform, verified parental consent must be obtained in accordance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act. It is not our policy to intentionally collect or maintain information about anyone under the age of 13 without obtaining appropriate parental consent.

Under Age 18

Minors under 18 years of age may have the Personal Information that they have provide to Prima through the Site deleted by sending an email to admin@primatutorconnect.com requesting deletion. Please note that, while we make reasonable efforts to comply with such requests, deletion of your personal information does not ensure complete and comprehensive removal of that data from all systems.

Third Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites, such as social media sites, which may have privacy policies that differ from our own. We are not responsible for the activities and practices that take place on these sites or apps. Accordingly, we recommend that you review the privacy policy posted on any external website before disclosing any personal information. Please contact those sites and apps directly if you have any questions about their privacy policies.

Response to “Do Not Track” Signals

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may change this privacy policy from time to time, including as required to keep current with rules and regulations, new technologies and security standards, or as Prima determines in its discretion. When we do, we will post the change(s) on our Site. If we change the policy in a material and retroactive manner, we will provide appropriate notice to you, and you agree for such notice to be provided electronically to the e-mail that you have provided at any point in time. You understand and agree that it is your responsibility to ensure that such e-mail address is still active or available or protected from third-parties.
