1. Scope & Introduction

We provide educational consulting and college admissions services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information. By using our website or services, you agree to this Policy.

2. Notice at Collection (California)

At or before the point of collection (e.g., web forms), we disclose the categories of personal information we collect, the purposes, whether we sell or share personal information, and our retention periods or criteria. If our practices change materially, we will update this Policy and provide additional notice as appropriate. California Privacy Protection Agency

Categories We Collect (examples)

  • Identifiers & Contact: name, email, phone, address, nationality, passport/visa numbers (SPI).

  • Academic: transcripts, scores, essays, recommendations, intended major.

  • Family: parent/guardian names, contact, relationships.

  • Communications: messages, call notes, scheduling details.

Purposes

Admissions advising; application preparation and document handling; identity and credential verification; scheduling and communications; security/fraud prevention; recordkeeping and legal compliance; service improvement.

Retention (default periods or criteria)

We retain data only for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes or to comply with law. Unless a longer period is required, we apply:

  • Client account & contract/billing: 6 years after last payment (tax/recordkeeping).

  • Admissions materials (transcripts, essays, rec letters): 3 years after the end of the admissions cycle.

  • Editorial work product (edits/feedback): 24 months from delivery for quality assurance.

  • Passport/visa scans (SPI): 90 days after application submission or decision, then deletion.

3. Sensitive Personal Information (California)

Some identifiers (e.g., passport/visa numbers) are Sensitive Personal Information (SPI). We use SPI only as necessary to provide services (e.g., verifying identity, preparing applications), do not use SPI to infer characteristics, and do not use SPI for advertising. If our practices change, we will provide a “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information” option as required by California law. California Attorney General

4. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. Parents may review/delete their child’s information and revoke consent. When seeking consent, we provide direct notice describing the information collected, uses, disclosures (including categories/recipients), and retention. We use consent methods reasonably designed to verify the parent’s identity. eCFR+1

5. How We Disclose Information

We disclose personal information only as described:

  • Service Providers/Contractors: IT hosting, CRM, analytics, productivity tools—under contracts restricting use to our purposes.

  • Admissions-Related Third Parties: Universities, testing organizations, recommenders—only when you direct us to do so.

  • Professional Advisors & Legal: auditors, counsel, as required by law or to protect rights.

  • Business Transfers: if we undergo a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer (with notice where required).

We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. If we ever begin selling or sharing personal information (including for cross-context behavioral advertising), we will (i) update this Policy, (ii) display a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link, and (iii) honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (including California), you may have the right to know/access, delete, correct, opt-out of sale/sharing, limit SPI, and non-discrimination for exercising rights. We respond within 45 days (extendable once for 45 days where reasonably necessary). You may use an authorized agent subject to verification requirements. California Attorney General

How to Exercise Rights (California):

  • Email: contact@harvestacademy.kr

  • GPC: We honor the Global Privacy Control as a valid opt-out signal from your browser. California Attorney General

Verification: We may request information sufficient to verify your identity and protect against fraud. If we deny a request, we will explain the reason and give instructions to resubmit with additional verification.

7. Communications & Marketing (TCPA)

If you provide a mobile number, we may send service-related texts (e.g., schedule reminders). Marketing texts are sent only with your prior express written consent. You can opt out anytime by replying STOP; we honor revocation promptly. Federal Communications Commission

8. Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information. No method is 100% secure.

9. International Data Transfers

If you access our services from outside the U.S., your information may be processed in the U.S. We apply appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy. Material changes will be posted with a new Effective Date and, where appropriate, notified to you directly.
