Last updated:
This Privacy Policy describes how Avgousti Advising, LLC ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and protects information from visitors to our website and clients of our advisory and tutoring services.
01.Information we collect
We collect information that you provide directly to us when you submit our inquiry form, engage our services, or correspond with us. This typically includes:
- Name, email address, and phone number
- Educational stage (e.g., college year, medical school year)
- Information about your academic interests, target schools, and career goals
- For engaged clients: documents you share with us, such as transcripts, application drafts, and standardized test materials
We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 without parental consent.
02.How we use information
We use information to respond to inquiries, deliver advisory and tutoring services to engaged clients, send service-related communications, and improve our service offerings. We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to any third party.
03.Information sharing
We do not share your personal information with third parties except as required to deliver services (e.g., scheduling tools, video-conferencing platforms, email service providers). All such providers are bound by their own privacy policies and contractual obligations to handle data appropriately.
04.Data security
We use industry-standard security measures to protect information, including encrypted transmission, access-controlled storage, two-factor authentication on all systems holding client data, and limited retention periods. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
05.Data retention
- Inquiry-form submissions are deleted within twelve (12) months if no engagement results.
- Client engagement materials are retained for three (3) years following engagement completion, after which they are securely deleted.

California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to request deletion, the right to opt out of sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information), and the right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.

07.Children's privacy
Our services are intended for individuals 18 years of age and older, or for younger individuals with explicit parental consent. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
