National Prep Group Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 25 July 2025

Introduction

Good day. You’ve arrived at the Privacy Policy for National Prep Group. To avoid any misunderstandings, let’s delineate precisely what data is collected, how it’s used, and the degree to which you remain the master of your own digital fate. I’ll be brief and, where possible, save you from the usual dullness.

1. Information We Collect

Should you wish to join our merry band, you’ll be asked for:

Your Name: Hardly MI6, but we do need to identify you.
Team Name: For all the competitive sorts who like to be grouped.
Email Address: The preferred conduit for reminders, editorial quibbles, or the occasional existential musing about debate prep.
Brief Documents: That is, research. Please, for the sake of our collective sanity, no personal secrets or sensitive data—just evidence and arguments.

If you’re under 13, kindly step away from the keyboard—this really isn’t for you.

2. Use of Your Information

Your data is processed for the shockingly mundane purposes of:

Sending you reminders and making editorial requests,
Compiling and distributing the communal cache of briefs,
Ensuring the group’s assorted cogs turn smoothly,
Properly attributing your intellectual efforts.

No, we don’t sell or send your information to shadowy third parties. A bit dull, perhaps, but safe.

3. Data Access and Storage

Editors Only: Original documents are perused by an exclusive band known as “editors.”
Final Briefs: Everyone sees the finished product, with credit to you, but not a direct portal to your original document or Google account.
Storage: Files live on Google Drive and your form data skips through HubSpot. Not intriguing, but adequate for our ambitions.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We run a remarkably spartan ship with no custom cookies. Yet, HubSpot, ever eager, may set their own. For the full technical minutiae:

Adjust your browser, if you like, though you may break something else (don’t say I didn’t warn you).

5. Data Security

We employ the standard digital fortifications offered by Google and HubSpot. Alas, if you’re expecting vibranium-grade impenetrability, lower your expectations slightly. The internet is what it is.

6. Retention

We keep your data...well, basically forever, unless we decide to clean house or the group ceases to exist. Unceremonious but honest.

7. Age Considerations

Most participants are under 18, but if you’re here, you must be at least 13. Parental consent is assumed, or perhaps blissfully ignored until proven otherwise.

8. International Data Transfers

Our editors are scattered across the States, but your data could set up camp in data centres from here to Timbuktu, courtesy of:

Google Drive
HubSpot (see their list of sub-processors, if you’re keen to know precisely where your bytes are wandering)

By participating, you accept this state of digital cosmopolitanism.

9. Your Rights

Request deletion? Email natprepgroup@gmail.com. We do things the old-fashioned way.
Want to leave? One email, and you’re gone—no drama, no desperate retention ploys.

10. Updates

Should we change any of this, you’ll find out here. No need to check obsessively, but feel free.
