Academic Angle (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through our website (academicangle.com) and our college counseling services, how we use and protect it, and the choices you have.

- Any other information you choose to share with us during counseling
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our site may automatically collect basic technical information, such as browser type, device type, and pages visited, through cookies and similar technologies. This helps us keep the site working properly and improve it.
Payment information. Payments are processed by a secure third-party payment provider. We do not store credit card numbers on our servers.

- Provide college counseling, essay coaching, and related services

- Process payments
- Send service updates and, if you opt in, newsletters or other communications

Students and Children’s Privacy
Our services are designed for high school students, and we collect student information primarily from parents or guardians, or from students with a parent’s or guardian’s knowledge. Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We share information only:
- With service providers who help us operate our business, such as scheduling, email, cloud storage, video conferencing, and payment processing. They may use the information only to provide services to us.
- At your direction. For example, we may share information with recommenders or other parties you ask us to coordinate with.
- When required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Academic Angle, our clients, or others.
Text Messaging (SMS)
If you provide your mobile number and agree to receive text messages, we may send appointment reminders and service-related messages. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time, or HELP for assistance.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.
Email Communications
We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act. Every marketing email we send includes a working unsubscribe link and our physical mailing address. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email or by emailing info@academicangle.com. Unsubscribe requests are honored promptly. You may still receive messages related to services you are actively receiving.
Cookies and Tracking
You can set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are sent. Some site features may not work properly if cookies are disabled. We do not allow third-party behavioral advertising tracking on our site.
Third-Party Links
Our website contains links to outside resources, such as colleges, testing agencies, and financial aid websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
How We Protect Your Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted (SSL/TLS) connections, access limited to authorized personnel, and secure third-party platforms. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information. If a data breach affecting your personal information occurs, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed to provide our services, meet legal and business obligations, and resolve disputes. When information is no longer needed, we delete or securely dispose of it.

You may contact us at any time to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you or your student
- Correct inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information, subject to legal or contractual obligations
