- Educational Activity Data — If you use LiveWorksheets through MatheCord, your worksheet activity and scores may be accessible to MatheCord for educational support purposes.

MatheCord uses the information collected for the following purposes:
- Community Management — To manage the MatheCord Discord server, verify subscriptions, assign roles, and maintain community standards.

Third-Party Services
MatheCord operates in conjunction with several third-party platforms. Each service has its own privacy policy governing the data they collect:
Discord
Community platform hosting the MatheCord server
Whop
Subscription and payment processing
Lessonspace
Virtual tutoring and session recordings
LiveWorksheets
Digital math practice worksheets
Note: MatheCord is not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of Discord, Whop, Lessonspace, and LiveWorksheets for information on how they handle your data.
Information Sharing
MatheCord does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
- With Third-Party Service Providers — As necessary to facilitate our services (Discord for community management, Whop for subscriptions, Lessonspace for tutoring sessions).
- For Safety and Legal Compliance — If required by law, regulation, or legal process, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of MatheCord, our users, or the public.
- Dispute Resolution — If a dispute arises between a MatheTutor and MatheStudent, relevant communication data may be reviewed by MatheCord administrators to investigate and resolve the issue.
Data Security
We take the security of your information seriously. MatheCord implements reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect user data. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Important: MatheCord does not directly process or store payment card information. All payment processing is handled securely by Whop.
Data Retention
MatheCord retains user information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. When a user cancels their subscription or leaves the MatheCord Discord server, we will make reasonable efforts to remove or anonymize their data within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required for legal or administrative purposes.
Children’s Privacy
MatheCord is open to users of all ages seeking math support. However, since MatheTutors are independent educators and are not vetted by MatheCord, it is advised that anyone under 18 years of age be supervised by a parent or guardian while using the MatheCord server and during virtual tutoring sessions.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
