This Privacy Policy explains how Dr. Nathan Hurwitz, College Admissions Consultant, LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit our website, contact us, purchase services, or otherwise interact with us (collectively, the “Services”).

If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Services.

2) Information We Collect

We collect information in three main ways: (A) information you provide, (B) information collected automatically, and (C) information from third parties.

 

A. Information You Provide

Depending on how you interact with us, you may provide:

• Contact details: name, email, phone number, mailing address

• Account/booking details: scheduling preferences, communications

• Payment information: billing address and payment status (note: payment card details are typically processed by our payment provider and not stored by us)

• Student/family information: school, grade level, academic history, testing history, intended majors, extracurriculars, application targets, essays and drafts, portfolio materials, and other admissions-related materials

• Communications: messages, emails, form submissions, and call notes

• Consents and preferences: marketing opt-ins, cookie preferences, recording consent (if applicable)

 

B. Information Collected Automatically (Website/Device)

When you use our website, we and our service providers may automatically collect:

• Device and browser data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers

• Usage data: pages viewed, links clicked, time spent, referring URLs, session information

• Approximate location: inferred from IP address (not precise GPS unless you explicitly grant it through your device settings, which we do not request)

• Cookies and similar technologies: as described in Section 6

C. Information From Third Parties

We may receive information from:

• Payment processors (confirmation, billing status)

• Scheduling/CRM/email tools you use to connect with us

• Analytics providers (aggregate website usage)

• Advertising platforms if you interact with our ads (e.g., ad clicks)

We do not knowingly buy sensitive personal data from data brokers.

 

3) Sensitive Information and Student Information

Because our Services may involve education-related support, information you provide may include sensitive or highly personal content (e.g., student performance, test history, essays discussing personal experiences).

• We use this information only to provide the Services, communicate with you, and improve our offerings.

• We do not request Social Security numbers, passport numbers, or government IDs through the website. Please do not submit those through forms or email unless explicitly requested for a specific legitimate purpose.

FERPA note: FERPA generally applies to educational institutions, not private consultants. However, we treat student information with heightened care consistent with educational privacy expectations.

 

4) How We Use Information

We may use information to:

1. Provide and administer the Services (consulting, tutoring, scheduling)

2. Respond to inquiries and provide customer support

3. Process payments, invoices, refunds, and account administration

4. Send service-related notices (scheduling, updates, policy changes)

5. Personalize services and improve our materials and offerings

6. Maintain website security and prevent fraud or misuse

7. Comply with legal obligations and enforce agreements

8. Send marketing communications (where permitted and subject to your choices)

We do not use your personal information to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects solely by automated means.

 

5) Legal Bases for Processing (International Users)

If you are located in the EEA/UK/Switzerland or another jurisdiction requiring a legal basis, we rely on:

• Contract necessity (to provide services you request)

• Legitimate interests (operating and improving services, fraud prevention, security)

• Consent (marketing, certain cookies/trackers where required)

• Legal obligation (tax, accounting, regulatory requirements)

You may withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting processing already performed.

 

6) Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (pixels, tags, local storage) to:

• Operate the website

• Remember preferences

• Measure traffic and performance

• Understand how users engage with pages

• Improve marketing effectiveness (where enabled)

​

Types of Cookies

D. We Do Not “Sell” Personal Information (General Statement)

We do not sell personal information for money. Some U.S. state laws define “sale” or “share” broadly (including certain advertising disclosures). If our site uses certain advertising cookies/pixels, those may be considered “sharing” under some laws. You can opt out of such disclosures as described in Section 10.

​

8) Data Retention

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for:

• Providing Services

• Maintaining business records

• Resolving disputes

• Complying with legal and accounting obligations

Retention periods vary by data type. We may retain limited information longer where required by law or for legitimate interests (e.g., recordkeeping, tax).

 

9) Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information, such as access controls and secure service providers. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If you suspect unauthorized access, contact us at nathan@hurwitzadmissions.com.

 

10) Your Privacy Choices and Rights

 

A. Marketing Opt-Out
