Privacy policy

WantATutor (wantatutor.com) is operated by Ofisx Teknoloji, Istanbul, Turkey, which is responsible for the personal data described in this policy. Questions about your data: info@ofisx.com.

1. What data we collect

• Identity and contact details: name, e-mail address, phone number and country.
• Tutor profile details: subjects, experience, education, hourly rate, availability and bio.
• Google sign-in details: if you choose to sign in with Google, we receive only your name, e-mail address, profile photo and your account's permanent Google ID. Your Google password is never shared with us, and we have no access to any other data in your Google account (Drive, Calendar, Contacts, etc.).
• Usage data: pages visited, search filters and technical log records.

2. Why we use it

• To match students with tutors and let them communicate,
• To review tutor profiles and prevent abuse,
• To measure service quality and improve the platform,
• To meet our legal obligations.

Where data protection laws such as the GDPR apply, we rely on the following legal bases: performing our agreement with you (running your account and connecting you with tutors or students), our legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention and improving the service), your consent where we ask for it, and compliance with legal obligations.

3. Who we share it with

When you message a tutor, the contact details you include in your message (including your phone number) are shared only with that tutor. When the tutor replies, the tutor's phone number is shared only with you. E-mail addresses are not shared between the two sides.

When you post a tutor request, or when a lesson request you sent to one tutor isn't answered within 1 day, your request is forwarded to other suitable tutors who teach the same subject. Only the details of the lesson you need are shared: subject, level, location and the note you wrote; any contact details typed into the text are hidden. Tutors who send you an offer (up to 5) see only your name. Your phone number is shared only with the tutor you choose from the offers, and your e-mail address is never shared with any tutor.

Other than that, we do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share data with service providers we work with (such as hosting and e-mail delivery) only as far as needed to provide the service.

4. How long we keep it

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. When you ask us to delete your account, your data is deleted within 30 days, except for records we are legally required to keep.

5. Cookies

We use cookies that are required for the site to work, and may use analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. See our cookie policy for details.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU and UK, or the CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you,
• correct inaccurate data,
• delete your data,
• object to or restrict certain processing,
• receive your data in a portable format,
• withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent,
• not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

To make a request, e-mail info@ofisx.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on it. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

7. Children

Many students are minors. Accounts for students under 16 should be created and managed by a parent or guardian, and we do not knowingly collect data from children without that involvement. If you believe a child has given us data without a parent's knowledge, contact us and we will delete it.
