We at PlentyofTutors respect your privacy and take the issue of Internet privacy very seriously.

By accepting the PlentyofTutors Terms of Service, you consent to the use and disclosure of personal information that you provide to us as outlined in this Privacy Statement. As PlentyofTutors improves its services, we may modify the Privacy Statement, and urge you to check here for updates from time to time.

This document specifies the following:

1. What personally identifiable information of yours or third party personally identification is collected from you through the web site
2. The organization collecting the information
3. How the information is used
4. With whom the information may be shared
5. What choices are available to you regarding collection, use and distribution of the information
6. The kind of security procedures that are in place to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under PlentyofTutors control
7. How you can correct any inaccuracies in the information.

PlentyofTutors Inc. is the sole owner of the information collected on this site. We will not sell, share, or rent this information to others in ways different from what is disclosed in this statement.

PlentyofTutors collects information from our users at several different points on our website.

Registration Information

In order to use this website, both PlentyofTutors Clients and PlentyofTutors Tutors must first complete the registration form. During registration we request users' contact information, such as name and email address. This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest, and is also used as the user's sign in information. It is optional for the user to provide additional personalized information (such as experience and qualifications) and unique identifiers (such as a screen name), but encouraged so we can provide a more personalized experience on our site.

Services Through the Site

You provide us with information during the process of using the PlentyofTutors service. We break down users of our service into two categories, Clients and Tutors (you may register as both a Client and a tutor). Clients must provide financial information such as a credit card number and expiration date in order to pay for and use the PlentyofTutors service. Tutors must provide contact information, like name and mailing address, in order to receive their payment from PlentyofTutors. The information we collect from both Clients and Tutors is to provide users with the best possible PlentyofTutors service. If we have trouble providing that service, we may use contact information to get in touch with the user.

Client-Tutor Communication Using the PlentyofTutors Service

The main purpose of PlentyofTutors is to allow registered PlentyofTutors Tutors to provide Clients with services that the Clients need. Tutors and Members can negotiate and enter into a contract for a service using the PlentyofTutors site. Certain communications may be recorded and maintained by PlentyofTutors. PlentyofTutors does not screen or edit the content of communications between Clients and Tutors. Such communications are personal and private unless both parties agree to additional distribution, for example by posting questions or services on the Public Board (described later). Information that is relayed between the Client and the Tutor during either the negotiation phase of their relationship or during the actual relaying of service is kept completely confidential, and no other users of PlentyofTutors have access to this information.

Publicly Accessible Information

PlentyofTutors makes a Public Board available to its registered users. The Public Board allows Clients to post questions or service requests that can be viewed by any Tutor. All postings, descriptions, etc. are public to registered Clients and Tutors until a Client enters into a personal negotiation with a tutor, after the Tutor has responded to the public question with an initial offer and the Client responds to the Tutor. All subsequent communications between the Client and Tutor, including both the negotiation phase and the actual relaying of service, are kept confidential. PlentyofTutors clearly denotes to its users which communications are visible to all registered users and those that are visible to a specific, individual user only.

Use of Information Available Through PlentyofTutors

To ensure both Clients and Tutors with the best service possible on our site, and to facilitate communication among Clients and Tutors, PlentyofTutors provides email addresses to Clients and Tutors only under specific circumstances, including but not necessarily limited to participants involved in disputed and unpaid transactions. By reviewing PlentyofTutors's Terms of Service and approving PlentyofTutors's Legal Agreement, registered users of PlentyofTutors agree to use the Public Board area and all communication facilities provided by PlentyofTutors exclusively for interaction associated with PlentyofTutors services and their delivery. Registered users may not use information gathered through a PlentyofTutors transaction to defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal and civil rights of any other registered user. Registered users may not use information gathered through a PlentyofTutors transaction to sell any goods or services for any commercial purpose outside the scope of the PlentyofTutors service. Email addresses and personal information may not be used to forward surveys contests, pyramid schemes or chain letters, or to post the same message repeatedly (a practice referred to as "spamming"). PlentyofTutors may terminate the ability of any Client or Tutor to use the PlentyofTutors service.

Sharing

We currently do not share aggregated demographic information with our partners and advertisers, but may do so in the future. This will not be linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. We use a credit card processing company to bill users for use of the PlentyofTutors service. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes. We reserve the right to partner with another party to provide specific services. When the user signs up for these services, we will share names, or other contact information that is necessary for the third party to provide these services. These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable information except for the purpose of providing these services.

Tell-A-Friend

If a user elects to use our referral service for informing a friend about our site, we ask them for the friend's name and email address. PlentyofTutors will automatically send the friend a one-time email inviting them to visit the site. PlentyofTutors stores this information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time email. The friend may contact PlentyofTutors at info@PlentyofTutors.com to request the removal of this information from their database.

Security We Provide

This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When our registration form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number), that information is encrypted. We use the industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption and firewalls to protect against loss, misuse, and alteration of any personal data under our control. If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send an email to info@PlentyofTutors.com

Correction/Updating Personal Information:

If a user's personally identifiable information, such as a mailing address, changes, or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us. This can usually be done at the "My PlentyofTutors" page, the user's personal zone within PlentyofTutors, or by emailing our Customer Support at info@plentyoftutors.com.
