Who We Are
Tutor Tandem (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website located at https://tutortandem.com (the “Site”).
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you visit or interact with the Site.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the Site, we collect the information displayed in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information is collected to help detect spam and protect the integrity of the Site.
An anonymized value generated from your email address (sometimes referred to as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to determine whether you have an associated profile image. Gravatar is a third-party service not operated by Tutor Tandem. Its privacy practices are governed by its own privacy policy, which can be found at:
https://automattic.com/privacy/
Once your comment is approved, your profile image (if applicable) may be publicly visible alongside your comment.
Media Uploads
If you upload images to the Site, you should avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Images published on the Site may be downloadable by visitors, and embedded location data could potentially be extracted from such files.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on the Site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. These cookies allow you to avoid re-entering your information when leaving future comments and will remain active for up to one year.
When you visit the login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie does not contain personal information and is discarded when you close your browser.
If you log in to your account, cookies may be set to save your login credentials and display preferences. Login cookies typically last for two days, while display preference cookies may remain for up to one year. If you select the “Remember Me” option, your login session may persist for up to two weeks. Logging out of your account removes login-related cookies.
If you edit or publish content on the Site, an additional cookie may be stored in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal information and is used solely to identify the content you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Content on the Site may include embedded elements such as videos, images, articles, or other media hosted by third-party websites. Embedded content behaves in the same manner as if you had visited the third-party website directly.
These external websites may collect information about you, use cookies, implement additional tracking technologies, and monitor your interaction with embedded content—particularly if you are logged into an account on that third-party site. Tutor Tandem does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password reset email as a security measure.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata may be retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them for moderation.
If users register for accounts on the Site, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Registered users may view, update, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Site administrators may also access and update this information as necessary for Site operations.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on the Site or have submitted comments, you may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including information you have provided to us.
You may also request that we delete your personal data. This does not apply to information we are required to retain for administrative, legal, regulatory, or security purposes.
Requests related to personal data access or deletion may be submitted through the contact information provided on the Site.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be processed through automated spam detection services to help protect the Site from abuse and fraudulent activity.
