1. Personal Information Collected by Us 

We collect information about you in several ways to provide, operate, and improve the Services. The types of information we collect depend on how you use the Services—whether you are a User, a Mentor, or a visitor to our website.

Personal Information Collected Directly From You 

While you are accessing or using our Services, we may ask you to provide us with certain Personal Information about you that is necessary to provide you with our Services, and you may also choose to provide us with additional Personal Information. “Personal Information” means any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular individual or household. 

You may also provide us with information about you at the time of registering to use our Services, submitting requests via any forms on our website, providing feedback, creating your User or Mentor Account, requesting customer support, posting material on our Services, or making comments on our blog, which may include the following:

• Contact Information: First and last name, email address, mailing address, business address, and telephone number. 

• Account Information: Name, email address, password, and login credentials (including Google or Facebook login IDs).

• Profile Information

  • For Mentors: education history, professional background, areas of expertise, biography, and any photos, videos, or other materials uploaded to your profile.

  • For Users: education information, including schools attended, areas of study, grade level completed, academic interests, and any other information provided in connection with a Request or mentoring goals.

• Payment Information: For Users, payment card details or other billing information collected by our third-party Payment Processor (e.g., Stripe) when you book Sessions; for Mentors, bank account or tax information used to issue payments.

• Communications: Messages, feedback, or other correspondence sent to us, Mentors, or Users through the Services.

• Verification and Documentation: Government-issued identification, transcripts, licenses, or certifications submitted by Mentors for eligibility verification.

• Sensitive Information: Age and gender.

• Education Information: Schools enrolled in, years in degree program, degrees completed, and other related information.

• Feedback: The information you provide through our customer service or share with us. 

• Community Participation: If you access a community or collective hosted on Whop.com or another Third-Party Service, we may receive limited information (such as your name and contact details) from that provider to verify your participation.

We will generally not require you to provide sensitive personal information, such as details about your race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, health, disability status, or any other personal characteristics that are not needed to provide the Services.

However, you may choose to voluntarily share certain information about your background, identity, or circumstances—for example, to help Users and Mentors find matches that are supportive of specific experiences or communities (such as immigrants, refugees, parents, neurodivergent or disabled students, or speakers of other languages). If you choose to share this kind of information, you agree that Another Degree may store and use it solely for the purpose of improving mentor matching and related features within the Services.

We cannot control what information is requested or shared between Users, Mentors, or third-party service providers. Any personal information you choose to share directly with other Users or third parties is done at your own discretion and risk.

We use these technologies for several purposes, including enabling you to use the Services, facilitating the functioning of and your access to the Services, better understanding how you navigate through the Services, and detecting and preventing fraud.

Certain sections of our Services and emails may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, or single-pixel gifs) that enable us to determine whether you performed a specific action, such as visiting our Services or opening an email.

For more information about how to opt out of receiving targeted advertising from many providers, see the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page and Google Ads setting page. 

We use Google Analytics as a third-party tracking service, but we don’t use it to track you personally or collect your Personal Information.

This information helps us evaluate our Users’ use of the Services and improve our Services' performance.

Google Analytics gathers certain non-personally identifying information over time, such as your IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, timestamp, and similar data about your use of the Services. We do not link this information to your Personal Information, such as your username. Google provides further information about its own privacy practices and offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics tracking. You can access Google Analytics’ privacy policy here.

• With Service Providers. We may share your Personal Information with service providers, contractors, and other third parties we use to support our business, and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep Personal Information confidential and use it only for the purposes we disclose it to them.

1. How We Secure Your Personal Information

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical measures designed to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. These measures include access controls, encryption in transit and at rest (where applicable), secure data storage, and regular monitoring for potential vulnerabilities. We also limit access to Personal Information to employees, contractors, and service providers who need the information to perform their duties, and who are subject to confidentiality and security obligations.

When you access your account information, we use commercially reasonable technological safeguards to secure any information we collect about you. The secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information you input before sending it to us. In addition, your User Account information is password-protected for your privacy and security. You should always take steps to protect the confidentiality of the password you select. You need to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer.

Despite our efforts, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information, and you acknowledge and accept that you provide such information at your own risk. If we become aware of a data breach involving your personal information, we will take steps to notify you and any applicable regulators as required by law.

Please note that certain parts of the Services—such as video Sessions hosted through Zoom, scheduling through Wix, and communities hosted through Whop.com—are operated by Third-Party Services. While we take care in selecting trusted vendors, we cannot control or guarantee the security practices of these independent platforms.

You may personally correct or amend most of your account information in the "My Profile" section of the Services. If you need to delete any or all Personal Information (subject to certain exceptions), email us at info@anotherdegree.com. After receiving proof of your identity, we will do our best to respond to your request within 30 days of receipt. You are responsible for keeping your Personal Information up to date.

Deletion Requests

You may request that we delete your Personal Information by contacting us at info@anotherdegree.com. We will review and honor your request as required by applicable law.

1. Retention of Your Personal Information

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. The length of time we keep specific categories of information depends on factors such as the type of data, the nature of our relationship with you, and our business and legal requirements. For example:

• Account Information: We retain your account details for as long as your User Account or Mentor Account remains active. If your account is closed or deleted, we may retain certain information for a limited period to comply with legal obligations, maintain business records, or prevent fraud and abuse.

• Session and Transaction Records: We retain details related to Sessions, Requests, and payments for as long as necessary for billing, tax, and accounting purposes, typically for at least 7 years.

• Communications and Support Requests: We retain customer service messages and correspondence as long as necessary to respond to inquiries and maintain a record of interactions.

• Verification and Documentation: For Mentors, we may retain verification records (e.g., transcripts, licenses, or identification) for as long as necessary to confirm eligibility and compliance with our Terms.

• Marketing Data: We retain marketing-related information until you opt out of receiving communications or request deletion.

When personal information is no longer needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, we will securely delete, anonymize, or aggregate it in accordance with applicable laws and our data retention policies.

Please be aware that your Personal Information may be processed by us (and third parties on our behalf as further described in this Privacy Policy) outside of your home country, including to the United States, where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as privacy laws in your country.

If you create a User account with us, you agree to this Privacy Policy and consent to the transfer of all information you provide to us in the United States. 

1. Opting Out of Personalized Ads

You may opt out of receiving emails and newsletters from us and delete, disable, and manage browser and flash cookies.

1. Third-Party Websites

The Services may contain links to third-party websites, platforms, or resources that are not owned or controlled by Another Degree. These links are provided for your convenience only and do not signify our endorsement of such third parties, their content, or their practices. Please be aware that this Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party websites or services, including those operated by Mentors, community platforms such as Whop.com, or other linked resources. Your interactions with those sites are governed by their own privacy policies and terms of service.

We encourage you to review the privacy and security policies of any third-party website or service before providing them with your personal information. Another Degree is not responsible or liable for the content, privacy practices, or security of any third-party website, application, or service.

1. Collection of Payment Information

When you make or receive payments through the Services, certain payment-related information will be collected and processed to complete the transaction.

Users (Purchasing Sessions)

If you are a User purchasing a Session, you will be asked to provide payment information such as your credit or debit card number, billing address, and other relevant details. This information is collected and processed directly by our third-party payment processor (such as Stripe) and is not stored or controlled by Another Degree. Stripe collects, uses, and processes your payment information in accordance with its own privacy policy, available at https://stripe.com/privacy. 

We receive only limited information from Stripe—such as confirmation of payment status, transaction date, and the last four digits of your payment card number—which we use to verify transactions, prevent fraud, and maintain accurate records.

Mentors (Receiving Payouts)

If you are a Mentor receiving payouts through the Services, you may be required to provide certain financial information to our payment processor or payout provider, such as a connected Stripe account, bank account details, or tax identification number. This information is used solely to facilitate payments and comply with applicable tax, accounting, and legal obligations.

Mentors are responsible for maintaining accurate and current payment details. Another Degree is not responsible for delays or failed payouts caused by incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated information.

Security of Payment Information

We take reasonable steps to ensure that payment transactions are processed securely. All transactions are encrypted and handled by PCI-compliant payment processors. However, because we do not directly collect or store your full payment information, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of payment data transmitted to or from third-party providers.

By making or receiving payments through the Services, you acknowledge and agree that your payment information will be handled in accordance with the terms and privacy policies of the applicable payment processor.

1. Personal Information of Minors
