What we collect
When you contact us, we receive whatever you send — typically your name, email address, and message content. If you book sessions, we may also receive essay drafts and application materials you choose to share for mentorship purposes.
We use standard website analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This may include anonymized data such as pages visited and general location. We do not collect more than necessary to operate the service.
How we use it
Your information is used to respond to inquiries, deliver mentorship sessions, and provide feedback on your application materials. We do not use your essays or personal details for marketing, training, or any purpose unrelated to your mentorship.
Website analytics help us improve the site. Aggregated, anonymized data may be used to understand traffic patterns — never to identify individual visitors.
Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We do not share your essay drafts or application materials with anyone outside of your direct mentorship relationship.
We may disclose information only if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of The Application Project and its users.
Retention and your rights
We keep contact and session-related information for as long as needed to provide the service and fulfill any legal obligations. You can request deletion of your data by emailing hussein@theapplicationproject.com.
