Admittedly, Inc. (“Admittedly”,“we”, “us”, and “our”), owns and operates the website at Admittedly.co (the “Site”), and offers essay review and other consulting services. Collectively, the Site and other Admittedly services are referred to as the “Services.”Â
This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) explains our privacy practices with respect to data that we collect about individuals on the Site and through all Services we provide. Â
This Privacy Policy is part of our Terms of Service, including all terms and policies referenced therein (the “Terms of Service”), which are incorporated herein by reference. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by our Terms of Service, this Privacy Policy, and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree, you must not use the Services.Â
This Privacy Policy applies to all Admittedly clients and users of the Services. It does not apply to the practices of any third party that is not owned or controlled by Admittedly. To the extent that information is shared with any third party as described in this policy, use of your information by such third parties is subject to their own terms of service and privacy policies, and you should review them carefully. Â
When you use the Services or otherwise interact with Admittedly, we may collect data that identifies you or can be used to identify you, which is sometimes referred to as “personal information,” “personally identifiable information,” or “personal data” under applicable law. We refer to this kind of data in this Privacy Policy as “Personal Information.” We may also collect or receive other kinds of information about you automatically when you use the Services as described below in the Section entitled “Information collected automatically”. Please note that this kind of usage information may sometimes contain Personal Information. We refer to all information collected about you collectively (including Personal Information and all other information) as “Information.”Â
How we collect informationÂ
Information that you provide to usÂ
Admittedly and our Service Providers (as defined below in the section entitled “How information may be shared or disclosed”) may collect Information that you provide to us directly through or in connection with the Services. This may include:Â
When you access or use the Services, we and our Service Providers and third-party business partners may automatically collect certain Information about your use of the Services, such as:Â
Log Data. When you interact with the Services, certain Information from your device or web browser is automatically received and recorded. We also collect information when you navigate through the Sites, including what pages you looked at and what links you clicked on. For example, we collect your internet protocol (IP) address (and location derived from your IP address), device ID, browser type, operating system, platform, and internet service provider (ISP). When you use the Services, user IDs or other online identifiers that indirectly identify you may be created and used to collect data about your activities across the Services.Â
We may also receive Information about you from third parties, including, but not limited to, when you make purchases on the Services or on third-party platforms, or when you use third-party platforms to access Admittedly digital course content purchased via the Services.
When you make a purchase on the Services, we use a third-party payment processor to process payments and transactions. By submitting your credit or debit card account information or other financial information through the Services, you expressly consent to the sharing of this information with our third-party payment processors. Our payment processors may collect, use, disclose, and store your credit or debit card account information and other financial information to process purchase transactions, enable you to use our Services in the future, and otherwise in accordance with their terms of service and privacy policies.
We cannot guarantee that transmissions of your credit or debit card account information, social security number, other banking or financial information, or other Personal Information processed by our third-party payment processors will always be secure or that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat the security measures taken by us or our third-party payment processors.
Currently, our payment processor is Stripe (“Stripe”). Stripe offers you the opportunity to opt in and store your payment methods via Link in accordance with the Link Consumer Terms and Link Privacy Policy (collectively, “Link Terms”). When you make purchases on the Services, Admittedly may have access to limited information about your payment card from Stripe, such as the last four digits of your payment card number and the billing address associated with your card. We do not store or have access to your complete credit or debit card account information, social security number, banking information, or other financial information.
Admittedly uses Personal Information to provide the Services to you, and for other purposes as described below:
Admittedly may share your Information with others for the following purposes. All recipients of your Information will use and process your Information in accordance with their respective terms and privacy policies.
SMS and Phone Communications
By providing your phone number to Admittedly, you agree to receive service updates and transactional phone calls and text messages related to the Services and appointment reminders. If you choose to opt in to receive marketing communications via text, you consent to receive recurring marketing and non-marketing text messages from Admittedly. This may include automated text messages and phone calls (including those using AI-generated or prerecorded voices) for sales and marketing purposes. Consent to marketing is not a condition of any purchase. You may still use our Services without agreeing to receive marketing calls or text messages, and you can opt out at any time. You may revoke your consent at any time by replying STOP (or similar language) to any text message, by informing us verbally on a phone call, or by contacting us by email at hello@admittedly.co.
Opting out of Cookies
You may opt out of non-necessary cookies by clicking “Manage Cookies” in the cookie banner on the Site. If you do not allow these cookies, certain features of the Services are unlikely to work correctly. Your browser settings may allow you to automatically transmit a “Do Not Track” signal to online services you visit. Please note that there is no industry consensus as to what website operators should do with these signals. Because of this, Admittedly does not currently monitor or take action with respect to “Do Not Track” signals. For more information on “Do Not Track,” visit AllAboutDNT.com.
Some of the cookies described in this Privacy Policy may be set by our service providers or third-party business partners, either from Admittedly-owned domains or third-party domains. You may be able to control the use of certain cookies by third parties by adjusting your settings with those providers. For more information on whether and how you can opt out of cookies by other third-parties, please see the websites and privacy policies of the applicable third parties.
Information and deletion requests
If you would like to receive a copy of Personal Information we hold about you, or to request deletion of your Personal Information, you may submit a request by sending an email to hello@admittedly.co. Please note that certain data will be retained by Admittedly even after your deletion request is processed. For example, if you have an order that has not yet been completed, we need to retain certain Information (including Personal Information) to complete the transaction and provide the Services you have purchased. We may also retain your Personal Information in order to maintain security and existing functionality of the Services, to comply with our own legal obligations, and for other internal business purposes as permitted by applicable law.
If you are a California resident, you may be entitled to certain rights with respect to your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). This section explains the rights of California consumers regarding your personal information that we collect. For purposes of this section, the terms “consumer,” “personal information,” “service provider,” “third party” and “sale” shall have the meanings set forth in the CCPA and/or other California laws, as applicable.
The CCPA provides California consumers with the following rights:
Please note that certain data may be exempt under California law from access, data portability, and deletion requests. With respect to deletion requests, this means that certain data will be retained by Admittedly even if you submit a deletion request. For example, if you have an order that has not yet been completed, we need to retain certain information (including personal information) to complete the transaction and provide the Services you have purchased. We may also retain your personal information in order to maintain security and existing functionality of the Services, to comply with our own legal obligations, and for other internal business purposes as permitted by applicable law.
California law entitles California residents to ask for a notice describing what categories of personal information we share with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. Admittedly does not share any personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. If you have questions about these practices, you can contact us through one of the channels listed in the section below entitled “How to contact us.”
To exercise any of your rights under the CCPA or if you have questions about the information above, please contact Admittedly at hello@admittedly.co. Requests may be subject to identity verification in compliance with applicable law.
​​We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new ways that we process your information.
