Privacy Policy

Honest Pete is run by Varsity Vine LLC ("we"). We only collect what we need to set up your calls. We don't sell your information and we don't show ads.

What we collect

  • When you book: your name, email and what you tell us on the booking form, like the student's first name, grade, topics and notes. Stripe handles payment; we never see your card number.
  • When a college student applies: the details on their application. If they're approved, an AI service (Anthropic's Claude) helps draft a profile intro from their own answers. Nothing is published until the student reviews and approves it.
  • When you use other forms (school requests, feedback): what you enter.

How we use it

To run your calls (booking, emails, payments, refunds), keep the platform safe, and improve Honest Pete.

Who sees it

Your student sees what they need for the call, like the student's first name, grade and your topics, but not your email or payment details.

We use a few trusted services to run the site: Stripe (payments), Supabase (database), Vercel (hosting), Daily (video calls), Anthropic (AI call notes when requested, and drafting ambassador profiles), Resend (email) and Cloudflare (spam protection). We may also share information if the law requires it or to protect someone's safety.

Video calls and AI notes

We never make video recordings of calls.

If you ask for AI notes when you book, and the college student has agreed, the call's audio is turned into text by our video provider (Daily). An AI service (Anthropic's Claude) uses that text to write a short summary, which we email to you. We keep the text and the summary with your booking.

Cookies

We only use cookies the site needs to work, like staying signed in. No advertising or tracking cookies.

How long we keep it

We keep information for as long as we need it to run Honest Pete.

Children

Calls are booked by someone 18 or older, or with a parent or guardian's approval. If you think a child under 13 has given us information, email us and we'll delete it.

Your choices

Email honestpete.admin@gmail.com to see, correct or delete your information. We may need to keep some payment records for tax reasons.

Changes

If we update this policy, we'll change the date at the top of this page.
