At Darresne.net, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our students and teachers. This policy outlines our standards for data collection, usage, and security.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide a better tutoring experience:

• Direct Information: Name, email, phone number, and date of birth.
• Profile Data: Tutors' qualifications, subjects taught, and student learning goals.
• Google User Data: If you authorize the connection, we collect your Google Calendar availability and event details to sync your schedule.
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and device information collected via cookies.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Service Delivery: To manage accounts, process bookings, and facilitate tutoring sessions.
• Google Integration: We use Calendar access to identify "busy" slots to prevent scheduling conflicts and to automatically generate Google Meet links for every booked lesson.
• Notifications: To send automated session reminders and policy updates.

3. Google API "Limited Use" Disclosure

Darresne.net's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

• We do not use Google data for advertising.
• We do not allow human review of your Google data unless strictly necessary for security or support explicitly requested by you.

4. Data Sharing and Marketplace Safety

• Student-Teacher Connection: We share limited contact info between the two parties only once a booking is confirmed.
• Third-Party Providers: We use trusted partners (like Stripe for payments). We do not store credit card information on our servers.
• No Data Sales: We never sell your personal or Google data to third-party brokers or advertisers.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to keep you logged in and to analyze site performance. You can manage these via your browser settings; however, disabling them may limit site functionality.

6. Your Rights and Data Control

• Access & Correction: You can edit your profile information at any time.
• Data Portability & Deletion: You may request a copy of your data or its full deletion by contacting info@darresne.net.
• Revoking Access: You can disconnect your Google account at any time via your Darresne settings or Google Security Settings.

7. Data Retention and Security

We retain your information only as long as your account is active. We employ industry-standard encryption (SSL/HTTPS) to protect your data during transfer and at rest. Significant changes to this policy will be notified via email.
