Privacy Policy for Tutors / Coaches / Clients

 

At The Graduate Tutors, we value the privacy of both tutors / coaches and clients. This Privacy Policy outlines how we and our authorized representatives collect, use, and protect your data in compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) of Singapore. Personal data may be shared as required to meet legal or regulatory requirements. By accessing or using our website, or otherwise engaging with us, you acknowledge and consent to the terms set forth in this Privacy Policy.

“Us” / “We” / ‘’Our’’/ “The Agency”: Refers to The Graduate Tutors, an individual or entity facilitating tutoring and coaching services.

“Tutor” / “Coach”: Refers to any individual who has applied or been accepted to provide tutoring or coaching services through The Graduate Tutors, whether or not an assignment has been offered or accepted.

“Client” / ‘’User’’: Refers to any individual who enquires about, registers for, or receives tutoring or coaching services, or their parent/legal guardian where applicable.

1. Personal Data Collection

We collect personal data to facilitate tutor/coaching–client matching and related services. This data may include:

Privacy Policy for Tutors / Coaches / Clients

  • Name, contact number, email address, postal address, and identification numbers (e.g., NRIC, passport),
  • Academic qualifications, non-academic skills, work experience and lesson preferences,
  • Personal data of related individuals where applicable (such as children or spouses). By providing such data, you represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary consents from these individuals for its disclosure to us,
  • IP address, cookies, and site usage data (including page views, browser type, and other analytics used for service improvement and marketing purposes),
  • Any other relevant personal data necessary for the provision of our services.

    Personal data may be collected directly from the tutors / coaches / clients, including through manual methods such as WhatsApp messages or phone calls. We may use cookies to enhance the experience on our website. By continuing to use our site, the user consent to our use of cookies as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

    2. Use of Personal Data and Data Protection

    Your data may be used to:

  • Match tutors/coaches with suitable assignments
  • Share relevant details with clients or tutors/coaches after confirmation
  • Deliver and administer academic and non-academic programs
  • Communicate assignment updates, marketing messages, or service notices
  • Support our operations and services in any other relevant and reasonable manner

    Generally, we may use tutors’ or coaches’ general profile information—including but not limited to, the name, gender, qualifications, teaching / coaching experience —for marketing purposes across digital and print platforms, and only share to potential clients when needed to communicate to client for possible tutor / coach matching and for relevant classes / programs.

    Personal data, including contact details, banking information, and certificate documents, will remain strictly confidential and will only be disclosed with the explicit consent of the tutor / coaches.

    Client location data is collected to facilitate matching and may appear on our platforms or partner sites. While full address privacy is prioritized, it cannot be fully guaranteed. Clients may provide an alternate nearby location if preferred. Client details such as location and availability are shared with tutors during matching, with full addresses and phone numbers disclosed only after confirmation.

    We may share users’ personal data with third parties for legal requests, law enforcement, and services such as payment processing. Only the necessary information is shared – strictly for the purpose of providing these services. When third parties operate internationally, data transfers comply with applicable laws. Our site may link to external services with their own privacy policies – the agency is not responsible for their data handling practices.

Clients may withdraw consent for data processing by contacting us; however, this may limit our ability to provide services.

We are committed to protecting your personal data and maintaining its confidentiality. In line with this commitment:

  • We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.
  • Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorized personnel and only for legitimate business purposes.
  • Any unauthorized access or breach of privacy due to third-party misuse (e.g., client or tutor/coach sharing your data without consent) is not the agency’s liability.
  • We may keep any personal data unless you request its deletion. In the event of a company sale or transfer, user information may be passed to the new owner as part of the transaction.

    3. Policy Changes

    We reserve the right to amend these terms or our privacy policy at any time without prior notice. Continued use of our services indicates acceptance of the updated terms.
