Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how AidCalendar Studio ("we," "us") handles information when you visit https://aidcalendarstudio.com or use our optional SMS program.

Information we collect

When you submit our contact form we collect the information you provide: your name, and optionally your email address, mobile phone number, a description of the resources you are looking for, and your SMS and email choices. When you give SMS consent we record the phone number, selected message category, consent time, source page, disclosure version, browser user agent, and IP address where available.

How we use information

• To respond to your questions and point you to planning resources.
• To send the SMS categories you selected, and email updates only if you chose them separately.
• To keep records of consent and opt-out requests.

SMS communications

SMS is optional. Account Notifications include reminder notifications you request, checklist links, messaging preference confirmations, opt-in and opt-out confirmations, and replies to HELP requests; frequency varies based on account activity. Marketing messages include a weekly planning bulletin with financial aid preparation tips, planning templates, application preparation articles, resource updates, and announcements about new checklists and tools; generally up to 4 messages per month. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel or HELP for help. See our SMS Terms of Service.

Mobile opt-in information

Mobile opt-in data, SMS consent, and phone numbers collected for SMS purposes will not be sold, shared, rented, released, or transferred to third parties for marketing, lead generation, or promotional purposes.

This includes grant brokers, funding organizations, lead aggregators, and third-party marketers. We may use service providers, such as an SMS delivery platform, only to send the messages you requested.

We do not share your request with any third party. If we ever offer help that involves contacting another organization for you, we will ask for separate, explicit consent for that specific request, and that consent is separate from SMS opt-in.

Our site may use basic cookies or similar tools needed to run the site and understand general usage. You can control cookies in your browser settings.

Data retention

We keep information only as long as needed to respond to you, provide the messages you chose, and keep consent records required for compliance.

Your opt-out rights

Reply STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, or QUIT to any text to stop that program. You may also email us to update your choices or ask us to delete your information.

We use reasonable measures to protect information. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
