Information We Collect

When you sign up to become a tutor, or student, you will be asked to provide us with certain personal information, such as your first name, last name and email address. If you sign-in through Facebook Connect, Google, you are authorizing Tuter to collect, store, and use, in accordance with this Privacy Policy, any and all information that you agreed that Facebook, Inc. (“Facebook”), or Google, Inc. would provide to Tuter through Facebook’s, or Google’s Application Programming Interface (“API”). Such information may include, without limitation, your first and last name, your address, date of birth, Facebook, or Google username, Facebook, or Google profile picture, headline, unique identifier and access token, and e-mail address. We also may collect financial information, such as the full bank account numbers and credit card numbers which we provide to Third Parties (such as banks and payment gateways) hired by us for payment processing. In this Privacy Policy, we refer to this information as “Personal Information.” We may provide your Personal Information, such as your full name and date of birth, to Third Parties for the limited purpose of allowing them to conduct checks, including criminal or professional background checks, on our behalf.

In order to use the App, we may, with your prior permission, collect geolocational information from your mobile device, your wireless carrier, or certain third-party service providers (“Geolocational Information”). Collection of such Geolocational Information occurs only when the App is running on your mobile device. You may decline to allow us to collect such Geolocational Information, in which case we will not be able to provide certain services to you. Because your Geolocational Information is subject to abuse by others, please be sure to manage your mobile device and privacy preferences on the App on an ongoing basis.

Like most web sites, we may use automatic data collection technology when you visit the Site to record information that identifies your computer, to track your use of our Site, and to collect certain basic information about you and your surfing habits. This information includes information about your operating system, your IP addresses, browser type and language, referring and exit pages and URLs, keywords, date and time, amount of time spent on particular pages, what sections of a website you visit, and similar information concerning your use of the Site and the Service (the “Usage Information”). We may also use third-party analytics technology to track and collect anonymous traffic data, including, but not limited to, Usage Information about the use of the App. The third-party technology providers may have access to your information only for the purposes of performing these tasks and on behalf of us.

We collect this Usage Information by using cookies and pixel tags (also called web beacons or clear gifs). Cookies are small packets of data that a web site stores on your computer’s hard drive so that your computer will “remember” information about your visit. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web site users. You can reject cookies by following the directions provided in your Internet provider’s “help” file. If you reject cookies, you may still visit the Site, but may not be able to use some areas of the Site and/or the Service.

We do not collect Personal Information in this way, but if you’ve provided us with Personal Information we may associate that information with the information that is collected automatically. Automatic data collection may be performed on our behalf by our services providers.

We may also allow third-party companies that are presenting advertisements on the Site and/or the App to set and access their own cookies. Such third-party cookies are not governed by this Privacy Policy, but by the privacy policies of such third party.

We, like many businesses, sometimes hire other companies to perform certain business-related functions. Examples include mailing information, maintaining databases, hosting services, and processing payments. When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function, which may include Personal Information. If we or all or substantially all of our assets are acquired, we expect that the information that we have collected, including Personal Information, would be transferred along with our other business assets.

We may disclose your Personal Information and Usage Information to government authorities, and to other third parties when compelled to do so by government authorities, at our discretion, or otherwise as required by law, including but not limited to in response to court orders and subpoenas.
