  3. AI Data

    • We do not store prompts long-term, and we select third-party AI providers who do not store or train on the data you send. We may, however, store prompts temporarily to allow our AI feature to function.

6. Children’s Privacy

If you’re under 13, please don’t use My College Visit. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If we discover a user under 13, we’ll delete their data right away.
