Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 11, 2026

This Physics Advantage (“we,” “us,” or “our”) privacy policy explains what information we collect through our website, forms, advertisements, and related services, how we use it, and the choices you have regarding your information.

We aim to collect only information that is reasonably necessary to understand whether our program is a good fit for a student and to communicate with interested families.

1. Information We Collect

When a parent or guardian contacts us, submits an application, or responds to one of our advertisements, we may collect:

Parent or guardian name
Student name
Email address
Phone number
Student’s grade level
Student’s physics course
Intended career or academic path
General information about the student’s academic performance
Information the parent or guardian chooses to provide in a free-text description of the student’s situation

We may also collect basic information about how visitors use our website, such as pages visited, approximate location, browser or device information, and information about how visitors arrived at our website. This may be collected through cookies, analytics tools, advertising platforms, or similar technologies.

Please do not submit medical information, financial information, Social Security numbers, passwords, or other sensitive personal information through our forms.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Respond to inquiries and applications
Determine whether The Physics Advantage is an appropriate fit for a student
Communicate with parents or guardians about our program
Schedule consultations, diagnostic sessions, or other meetings
Provide and improve our educational services
Understand which students and families our program is reaching
Improve our website, advertising, and marketing
Follow up with people who have expressed interest in our program
Maintain appropriate business and administrative records

We may use information about your interaction with our website or advertisements to show you additional advertisements or communications about The Physics Advantage. For example, someone who visits our website or submits an inquiry may later see an advertisement from us.

We do not sell your personal information to data brokers.

3. Information About Students

Because our program is intended for high-school students, some of the information we collect relates to minors.

We primarily collect student information from a parent or guardian who is seeking information or applying to the program on the student’s behalf. We use student information for the educational and administrative purposes described in this policy.

We do not ask students to provide information that is unnecessary for participation in the program.

4. Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to help operate our website, communicate with families, process payments, schedule meetings, provide educational services, and understand how people interact with our website.

These services may include:

Meta (Facebook and Instagram), including Meta Lead Ads and the Meta Pixel
Google, including Google Workspace, Google Analytics, Google Calendar, and Google Classroom
Stripe, for payment processing
WordPress and related website services
Zoom or Google Meet, for online meetings
Scheduling, form, email, and other software used to operate the program

These providers may process personal information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

We do not sell your personal information to data brokers or sell your contact information to advertisers.

5. Meta Pixel and Advertising

Our website uses the Meta Pixel, a tracking technology provided by Meta Platforms, Inc. The Meta Pixel helps us understand how visitors interact with our website, measure the effectiveness of our advertising, and show advertisements for The Physics Advantage to people who have previously interacted with our website.

For example, the Meta Pixel may allow Meta to receive information about actions taken on our website, such as visiting a page or submitting a form. This information may be associated with information Meta already has about a visitor or their device.

We may use this information to:

Measure the performance of our Facebook and Instagram advertising
Understand which parts of our website and advertising are most useful
Create audiences for advertising and retargeting
Show advertisements to people who have previously visited or interacted with The Physics Advantage

We do not use the Meta Pixel to intentionally collect medical information, financial information, passwords, Social Security numbers, or other information that we ask visitors not to submit through our forms.

Meta’s processing of information collected through the Meta Pixel is subject to Meta’s own privacy policies and terms. You can learn more about how Meta handles information and manage certain advertising preferences through Meta’s privacy and advertising settings.

You can also limit cookies and similar tracking technologies through your browser and device settings. Some website functionality or advertising features may be affected if you disable these technologies.

6. How We Protect Information

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect the information we maintain from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including communicating with prospective families, providing services, maintaining business records, complying with legal obligations, and resolving disputes.

When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete or securely dispose of it.

8. Your Choices

You may contact us to:

Ask what personal information we have about you
Request that we correct inaccurate information
Ask us to delete information that we no longer need to retain
Ask questions about how your information is being used
Opt out of marketing communications

Some information may need to be retained when required for legitimate business, legal, security, or accounting purposes.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our services are marketed primarily to parents and guardians of high-school students. We encourage parents or guardians to submit information about students through our forms rather than having younger students independently provide personal information.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 for the purpose of independently enrolling them in our services.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our business, services, or legal obligations change.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
