Our website address is: https://ivyleague-tutors.com. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit or interact with our site.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. This data is essential for maintaining site security and user experience.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to verify if you’re using it. The Gravatar privacy policy can be found here. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture, if you have one, will be visible alongside your comment.

Media
If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website, which could compromise your privacy.

Cookies
We use cookies for various purposes, including enhancing user experience and remembering your preferences. Here’s how:

Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience, so you don’t have to enter your details again when commenting later. These cookies last for one year.

Login Cookies: If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to check if your browser accepts cookies. This contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser. When you log in, we set cookies to store your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and screen option cookies last one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks.
