Welcome to ZP Tutoring. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

1. Information We Collect
   1. Account Information. When you create a student account, we collect:
      1. First & Last Name
      2. Email Address
      3. Phone Number
   2. We use this information to authenticate your access and to send alerts and reminders about upcoming sessions you join.
   3. Usage & Activity Data. We employ a free User Activity Tracking plugin that automatically records:
      1. Your IP address when you log in
      2. The pages you visit on our site
      3. Your approximate geographic location (city/region) derived from your IP
   4. This data is used solely for analytics, troubleshooting, and security monitoring.
2. How We Use Your Information
   1. We use the data we collect to:
      1. Manage Your Account & Sessions. Send alerts, reminders, and join‑session links.
      2. Improve Our Service. Analyze usage patterns and page visits to enhance user experience.
      3. Ensure Security. Detect and prevent unauthorized access or suspicious activity.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
   1. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share data with:
      1. Service Providers (e.g., email/SMS gateways) strictly to deliver session alerts.
      2. Legal Authorities, if required by law or to protect our rights.
4. Data Retention
   1. We retain your account and usage data as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. If you close your account, we will anonymize your personal information within 30 days, unless legal obligations require longer retention.
5. Security Measures
   1. We implement industry‑standard technical and organizational safeguards—encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure servers, and access controls—to protect your data from unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration.
6. Third‑Party Tools
   1. Our User Activity Tracking plugin is a free third‑party tool used for internal analytics. That plugin may collect usage data as described above; we encourage you to review its own privacy practices.
