Privacy Policy for pickitlearn

Last Updated: April 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how pickitlearn collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use our website, dashboard, intake workflow, and related services.

1. Who this service is for
pickitlearn is designed for parents and guardians making school and university decisions for a child, teenager, or dependent. The service is not intended to be used independently by children. If you submit information about a minor, you represent that you are the parent, guardian, or another person authorized to provide that information.

2. Information we collect
We may collect:
- account information, such as parent or guardian name, email address, and login-related data;
- payment-related information and billing identifiers;
- student and family intake data, including school preferences, academic background, budget range, language preferences, location preferences, extracurricular profile, and other decision inputs;
- communications with us, including support messages and form submissions;
- technical and usage information, such as browser type, device information, IP address, pages visited, and product interaction data.

3. Why we collect information
We use information to:
- provide and operate the service;
- create and maintain user accounts;
- process payments and prevent fraud;
- generate school and university matching outputs, shortlist recommendations, and application planning materials;
- communicate with parents or guardians;
- improve the performance, safety, and quality of the platform;
- comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

4. Student and child information
Because the service may involve information about minors, we expect that information to be supplied by a parent or authorized guardian.

If we have actual knowledge that personal information from a child under 13 is being collected directly in a way that requires parental authorization, we may take additional steps such as requesting verification, limiting collection, or deleting the information until the appropriate consent basis is confirmed. pickitlearn is not marketed as a children’s service.

5. Payments
Payments are processed by third-party payment providers such as Stripe. We do not store full payment card details on our own servers. Stripe may collect and process payment information in accordance with its own privacy notice and contractual terms.

6. Service providers and infrastructure
We may use third-party providers to operate the service, including for hosting, authentication, database infrastructure, email delivery, payment processing, analytics, security, and customer support. Those providers may process information on our behalf only as needed to perform those functions.

7. How we share information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information:
- with service providers and contractors operating the platform;
- with professional advisors, auditors, or legal counsel where appropriate;
- if required by law, court order, or valid government request;
- in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or asset sale;
- to protect the rights, safety, integrity, or users of the platform.

8. Data retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, provide purchased deliverables, maintain business records, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, and enforce our agreements. We may delete or anonymize information when it is no longer reasonably needed.

9. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International use
If you use the service from outside the country where our service providers operate, your information may be transferred to and processed in other jurisdictions.

11. Your choices and requests
You may contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information, subject to applicable law, identity verification, and legitimate operational or legal retention needs.

12. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.

13. Contact
Questions or requests about this Privacy Policy can be sent to support@pickitlearn.com.

This policy is a product-facing draft and should be reviewed by legal counsel before production launch in any jurisdiction where you plan to actively market the service.
