Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 28, 2025

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information Gateway Education (“Gateway Education,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects through gatewayeducation.com and related pages (the “Website”), how we use it, when we share it, and the choices you have. By using the Website, you agree to this Policy and to our Terms & Conditions.

Scope & Who We Are

This Policy covers information collected via the Website. It does not cover information we may collect through other services, offline interactions, or partner platforms unless stated otherwise.

Information We Collect

1) Information you provide directly

• Account & contact details such as your name, email address, username, and any information you submit in forms, comments, or support requests.
• Transactions for purchases you make on or through the Website (e.g., billing name, email, and the information necessary to process the transaction).
• Communications you send to us (e.g., feedback, support tickets, inquiries).

2) Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we collect non-personally identifying information typically provided by browsers and servers, such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date/time of requests. We also collect Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged-in users and for users leaving comments.

We use cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies to recognize your browser or device, understand how you use the Website, and improve our services. See Cookies & Similar Technologies.

How We Use Your Information

• Provide and improve the Website, including analytics, debugging, and personalization.
• Process transactions and provide receipts, notices, and related customer support.
• Communicate with you about updates, features, and service notices. You can opt out of non-essential emails.
• Security and integrity, including detecting, investigating, and preventing fraud, abuse, or violations of our terms.
• Legal compliance, such as responding to lawful requests or enforcing our agreements.

When We Share Information

We do not rent or sell your personal information. We share it only as described below:

• Service Providers & Contractors who help us operate the Website (e.g., hosting, analytics, customer support, security, payment processing). They may only use your information to provide services to us and must protect it appropriately.
• Legal, Safety, and Rights when we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with law or legal process; protect you, us, or others; or enforce our terms and policies.
• Business Transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, or sale of all or a portion of our assets. Your information may be part of the transferred assets and remain subject to this Policy.

Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential features, remember your preferences, and analyze how people use the Website. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect how the Website functions.

Advertising & Remarketing

We may use Google Ads Remarketing and similar services to show ads to people who have previously visited our Website (for example, reminding you about unfinished actions). Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve and measure these ads based on prior visits.

Your choices:

• Manage Google ad preferences via the Google Ads Settings page.
• Opt out of interest-based advertising from many providers via industry tools such as the NAI or DAA opt-out pages.
• Adjust your browser settings to block or clear cookies.

Links to Other Sites

Our Website may link to third-party sites. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some links on the Website may be affiliate links. If you use them to make a purchase, we may earn a commission. This never affects your price.

E-Commerce & Payments

If you purchase services or products, we collect the information necessary to process your transaction. Payment details may be processed by our third-party payment processors. We only receive the limited information needed for records, fraud prevention, and support (for example, payment confirmation and basic billing details).

Security

We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Aggregated Statistics

We may collect and share aggregated or de-identified statistics about Website usage (for example, trend reports). These do not include your personally identifying information.

Your Choices

• Marketing emails: You can unsubscribe using the link in our emails or by contacting support.
• Cookies: Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies.
• Account & profile: You can update certain information by logging into your account, where applicable.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, such as the right to request access, correction, deletion, portability, or to opt out of certain processing (including targeted advertising where applicable). To exercise a right, contact us at [email protected]. We will verify your request as required by law.

California residents: We do not sell personal information. Our use of advertising cookies may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended). You can opt out of such sharing by adjusting your ad/cookie preferences as described above or by contacting us.

International Transfers

We may process your information in countries other than your own (for example, where our service providers are located). By using the Website, you consent to these transfers. We take steps to protect your information consistent with this Policy.

How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the Website, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and for legitimate business purposes. Retention periods vary by data type and purpose.

User-Generated Content

If you leave comments or submit content, some information may be publicly visible (e.g., your displayed name). We collect IP addresses for logged-in users and commenters and disclose them under the same circumstances described in When We Share Information.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

We disclose potentially personally identifying and personally identifying information only to our employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that need to know it to process it on our behalf or provide the Website—and who are obligated to keep it confidential. Some may be located outside your home country (see International Transfers).

Children’s Privacy

Our Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” (DNT) signals. There is no industry consensus on how to respond to DNT; we currently do not respond to these signals. You can still manage cookies as described above.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date tells you when it was revised. If we make material changes, we’ll take reasonable steps to notify you. Your continued use of the Website means you accept the updated Policy.
