Effective date: November 12, 2026
Here's what we collect, why, and what we will never do with it.
Like most websites, the company that hosts our site automatically receives basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you view. We use this only to keep the site running and secure.
We use your information for one thing: running your coaching engagement. That means scheduling sessions, coaching the essays, answering your messages, and keeping track of what has been paid. We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with anyone except the basic tools we use to operate, such as email and video call services, or when the law requires it.
We work with high school students with their parent's or guardian's consent, and the parent is our point of contact for anything important. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has sent us information, email us and we will delete it.
Essay drafts are personal. We keep them confidential, we share them only between your family and your assigned coach, and we never use them as samples or in marketing without written permission.
Our website does not use advertising cookies and does not track you around the internet. If you email us or call us, we only use that information to respond.
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted connections to our website. No method of storage is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security, but we keep what we hold limited and private.
We're based in the United States and information is processed and stored in the United States.
We keep engagement records only as long as useful for serving your family and our bookkeeping. You can ask us at any time to see what we have about you or to delete it, and we will honor the request unless the law requires us to keep something. California residents have these rights under California law, and we extend them to everyone.
If we change this policy, the current version will always be on this page. Questions? Email hello@badessay.com or call 949-494-7957.
