Privacy Statement

Galvanize Test Prep, hereby referred to as “Galvanize”, is a service offered by Tejate Education Pvt. Ltd. Galvanize has created this Privacy Statement (“Statement”) in order to demonstrate our commitment to customer privacy. Privacy on the Galvanize website (the “Site”) is of great importance to us. Because we gather important information from our visitors and customers, we have established this Statement as a means to communicate our information-gathering and dissemination practices. We reserve the right to change this Statement at any time, so please visit Galvanize regularly to review our privacy statement. If you have questions or concerns regarding this statement, you can contact Galvanize by sending an email to hello@galvanizeme.com.

Collected Information

We require our users/customers/students (these three terms being used interchangeably in this Statement) who register to use the services offered on our Site (collectively, the “Services”) or on our Desktop/Mobile/Web Apps (collectively, the “Apps” to provide us their contact information, such as their name, email address and mobile number. Moreover, depending on the nature of the service required by our customers, we may require them to provide us with additional information such as test scores, target degree programs, and so on.

Galvanize uses the information collected in order to provide the service our customers have signed up for, such as creating customized learning pathways or shortlisting suitable universities. We may also use the information to contact customers with relevant information regarding our company or our partners which will be useful to our customers, such as invitations to informative events, webinars, promotions, newsletters, etc. Customers can opt-out of receiving such information from us, by unsubscribing from our emails or by sending an email to hello@galvanizeme.com.

We may also email or electronically disseminate information to our students regarding updates to our courses, study material, guides or company. In order to tailor our subsequent communications to you and continuously improve our products and services (including our free and paid services), we may also ask you to provide us with information regarding your personal or professional interests, experience with our products and services, and more detailed contact preferences. Moreover, we may share our customer testimonials, photographs, and success stories with our prospective customers in order to motivate them to progress toward their goals. Customers of our paid services have the option of opting out by emailing support@galvanizeme.com.

All financial and billing information that we collect through the Site is used solely to check the qualifications of prospective customers and to bill for our Services. This billing information is not used by Galvanize for marketing or promotional purposes. Galvanize does not directly process online payments, but uses a third-party intermediary, such as a payment gateway, to manage the credit card processing. These vendors verify your purchase information, such as your credit card number or checking account number and authorize your transaction. To the best of our knowledge, our intermediaries use the information for the sole purpose of enabling financial transactions such as credit card processing. We also strongly urge you to read our vendors’ privacy policies on their websites.

We also receive and may store certain types of information whenever you interact with us on a digital platform. For example, like many Web sites, we use “cookies” and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses www.GalvanizetTestPrep.com or any of our group websites. More information on our use of “cookies” can be found further down in this document under a section called “Cookies”.
Galvanize may also collect certain information from visitors/customers of the Site, such as internet addresses. This information is logged to help diagnose technical problems, and to administer our Site effectively. In order to track and improve the quality of our services to our users, we may also share this information with third-party service providers (e.g., Google Analytics) whose professional services help us monitor usage and improve our effectiveness for our customers.

Apart from what has been stated above, Galvanize will not share our students’ email addresses or any personal customer information with partners or third parties, except when doing so could potentially help our customers achieve their academic and professional goals. For example, many students will benefit from availing of education loans at customized interest rates, and hence we may share our students’ contact information with experts specializing in education loans. When selecting such partners, Galvanize takes sincere efforts to prioritize students’ academic aspirations as outlined in our company’s mission statement.

Special Relationships

Galvanize has a number of relationships with business partners with whom we may share your personal information for the purpose of providing a service, fulfilling an order, or completing a transaction. For example, we use certain vendors for the purpose of providing credit card transactions and check processing services. These vendors verify your purchase information, such as your credit card number or checking account number, and authorize your transaction. In doing so, they have access to data about users, but they are prohibited from using this information for any other purpose. We also strongly urge you to read the privacy policy of our business partner at the business partner’s site.

Within the Galvanize websites

  • Galvanize uses web beacons within the Galvanize websites in order to count users and to recognize users by accessing Galvanize cookies.

HTML email

Galvanize’s practice is to include web beacons in HTML-formatted email messages (messages that include graphics) that Galvanize, or its agents, sends in order to determine which email messages were opened and to note whether a message was acted upon.

In general, any file served as part of a web page, including an ad banner, can act as a web beacon. Galvanize may also include web beacons from other companies within pages served by Galvanize so that Galvanize’s advertisers may receive auditing and reporting.
