Introduction and Scope
Eternity ("we," "us," "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect information about you when you use our Platform.
This policy applies to visitors, students, parents or guardians where relevant, counselors, high schools, classroom users, university and admissions representatives, agents, agency owners, administrators, and other authorized institutional users. Different dashboard roles may see different information depending on access permissions, institutional relationships, and platform settings.
02
Data Controller
For purposes of applicable data protection laws, Eternity generally acts as the data controller for personal information collected through the Platform. Where a school, university, agency, counselor, agent, or other organization independently determines how it uses information from its own systems, that organization may act as an independent controller for its own processing.
