This Privacy Policy explains how LearningDifferences.Info® LLC (“LearningDifferences.Info®,” “Learning Differences,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the website at learningdifferences.info and related services (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy, which forms part of our Terms & Conditions and should be read together with them.

Payment information
We do not collect or store full payment-card information. All subscription payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. Stripe collects and handles your card details directly under its own terms and privacy policy. We receive limited information from Stripe such as your subscription status, plan, billing country, the last four digits of your card, and a payment token — never your full card number. We encourage you to review Stripe’s Privacy Policy.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- create and manage your account and provide access to the Service;
- process subscriptions, billing, and renewals;
- deliver premium features and services you request;
- send school alerts, account notifications, and service-related communications;
- publish and moderate reviews and ratings you submit;
- respond to your support and contact requests;
- operate, maintain, analyze, and improve the Service;
- detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security, and technical issues; and
- comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.
3. Email Communications
Depending on your account and preferences, you may receive:
- account notifications and password-reset emails;
- school-alert and “followed school” digest emails;
- subscription and billing notifications; and
- service updates.
Transactional and account-related emails are necessary to operate the Service. Any marketing or promotional emails are optional and sent only where permitted; you can unsubscribe from them at any time using the link in the email or by contacting us. You can also manage school-alert preferences in your account settings.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies to:
- keep you logged in and maintain your session;
- remember your preferences and settings;
- analyze how the Service is used; and
- maintain security and improve performance.
Most browsers let you control or delete cookies through their settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Service, including the ability to stay logged in.
5. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share personal information only in the following circumstances:
- Payment processing — with Stripe, to process subscriptions and billing.
- Email delivery — with our email/SMTP provider, to send account and alert emails.
- Analytics and hosting — with hosting, infrastructure, and analytics providers that help us operate the Service.
- Service providers — with vendors who perform services on our behalf, bound by confidentiality and data-protection obligations.
- Legal and safety — with authorities or other parties when we believe disclosure is required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Learning Differences, our users, or the public.
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, subject to this Privacy Policy.
- Public content — reviews, ratings, and other content you choose to post are visible to other users and the public.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, and thereafter as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.
7. Data Security
We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encrypted transport (HTTPS) and hashed passwords. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children’s Privacy
The Service is intended for parents, guardians, educators, and other adults, and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us personal information, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take steps to delete it. Note that the Service displays information about schools, not personally identifiable information about individual students.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- access the personal information we hold about you;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion of your information;
- opt out of marketing communications; and
- not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond consistent with applicable law and may need to verify your identity. Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws (such as Texas, California, and others) have these rights to the extent those laws apply; we do not sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Requests are subject to legal and operational requirements, and certain information may be retained as permitted or required by law.
10. Third-Party Links
The Service links to third-party websites and resources (for example, government data sources and Stripe). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice where appropriate. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
