Information may be submitted to the Site or via telephone or email when communicating with a Nurtem support. For students and parents, we may collect information related to payment for tutoring sessions; tutoring questions related to homework or assignment feedback of a student (once the parent provides consent for submission);  For tutors, we may collect your Social Security number (SSN) or Federal Employer Identification number (FEIN) and date of birth, for tax purposes or to complete a background check; we also collect content you upload for purposes related to transmission to other users or public display on the Site or Apps. As detailed in the “Data Transmission and Storage” section below, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption on any page of the Site where we ask you to submit personally identifiable information and encrypt all such information for safe storage in our system.

We also gather information when you use the Service, including type of browser you use, access time, pages viewed, your IP address; and we collect information about the computer or mobile device you use to access the Service, including without limitation operating system and unique device identifiers and mobile network information.

Nurtem may publish these statistics or share them with third parties without including any personal information. Remove above red and mention that We don’t track any information across other applications.

We may also obtain information from other sources and combine that with information we collect through the Service. For example, we may collect information about you from other users, identity verification services, mailing list providers and publicly available sources. If you log into your account through sign-in services, like Facebook Connect or Google Authenticator, you provide Nurtem with permission to access certain information about you such as your Facebook User ID, user profile and profile picture. User generated content posted through certain social networking preferences (e.g. pages you “Like” or “Follow”) may be viewed by the general public. Accordingly, Nurtem cannot ensure the privacy of any information included in such User generated content.

Location information

In such event, the Service will use and share such location to enable users to determine which users in their network are nearby. Nurtem may also use location information to provide information and advertising to users. IF YOU WANT TO STOP THE AUTOMATIC COLLECTION OF YOUR LOCATION INFORMATION, YOU MAY DO SO BY USING THE PRIVACY SETTINGS ON YOUR BROWSER AND/OR ON YOUR DEVICE.
