Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how GeekScholars ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses and protects personal information when you use our website at geekscholars.net.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly — including name, email address, academic level, and order details — when you register an account or place an order. We may also collect technical data such as IP address, browser type and usage data via cookies and analytics tools.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to process orders, communicate about your account, deliver completed work, send relevant service updates and improve our platform. We never sell your personal data to third parties.

3. Data Sharing

Writers assigned to your order receive only an anonymous order reference — never your name, institution or personal details. We may share data with trusted service providers (e.g. payment processors) under strict data processing agreements.

4. Data Security

All data is stored on secure, encrypted servers. We use SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmission and implement industry-standard security protocols to protect your information from unauthorised access.

5. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the UK or EU, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or port your personal data, and to object to processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@geekscholars.net.

6. Cookies

We use cookies to maintain session information, remember preferences and analyse website traffic. You can manage cookie preferences in your browser settings or via our Cookie Policy page.

7. Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfil legal obligations. Order data is typically retained for up to 7 years for financial record purposes.
