Privacy Policy

Last updated August 2, 2026

This policy explains what ("we," "us") collects through this website, why, and what we do with it. We keep it short because the answer is short.

What we collect

When you register for the College Essay Bootcamp, we collect:

The student's first and last name, high school, and graduating class
The parent or guardian's first and last name
An email address and a mobile phone number
Anything you choose to write in the optional notes field
Whether you opted in to text message reminders

Payment is handled by our third-party payment processor. We never see or store your full card number.

Our website may collect basic technical information such as pages visited, so we know whether the page is working. We do not use it to build advertising profiles.

Why we collect it

To register your student and reserve a seat
To send your confirmation and any schedule or logistics updates
To send text reminders, only if you opted in
To reach you if something changes
To follow up about our services, which you can opt out of at any time

Who we share it with

Only the service providers we need to run the workshop: our payment processor, our email and customer-management system, and our website host. They may only use it to provide those services to us.

Mobile opt-in data and SMS consent are never sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes. Your phone number stays with us.

We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information if required by law.

Student information

Registrations for students under 18 are made by a parent or guardian, who provides the student's information. We use it only to run the workshop. Essays and other writing a student shares with us are used solely to give feedback, and are never published or shared without written permission.

Text messages

Text reminders are optional and off by default. If you opt in, reply STOP to any message to stop receiving them, or HELP for help. Message frequency varies and message and data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of purchase. See our Terms of Service for the full SMS program details.

How to opt out

Texts: reply STOP to any message from us.
Email: use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing email.
Everything: email us and ask us to delete your information. We will.

We will still send messages necessary to run a workshop you have registered and paid for.

How long we keep it

As long as needed to run the workshop and to keep records we are required to keep, or until you ask us to delete it.

Your rights

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email us and we will respond. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state law.

Security

We use reputable providers and take reasonable measures to protect your information. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes

If we update this policy, the new version will be posted here with a new date.
