Privacy policy
PreRounds ("we," "us") is an independent, student-led project based in Baltimore, Maryland. This policy explains what information we collect through prerounds.org, how we use it, and the choices you have. Questions? Email hello@prerounds.org.
What we collect
- Information you give us. When you join the waitlist, we collect your email address and your stage (for example, post-bacc or applying). You can also share your first name and your study preferences, such as noise level, format, hours, and matching preference.
- How you found us. If you arrive from one of our links or ads, we record which campaign brought you (for example, "instagram"). This is not linked to your social media account.
- Basic visit statistics. We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views in aggregate. It does not use cookies and does not identify you personally.
When you join the Study Hall
- Sign-in. We send a one-time sign-in link to your email to confirm it's really you. We don't use passwords.
- In the room. Other members see the name you choose and your camera, if you turn it on. Microphones stay off on the Quiet floor. Video is connected through our video provider and is never recorded by PreRounds.
- Reports. If a member reports someone, we keep the report (who reported, who was reported, and the reason) so we can keep the community safe.
- Your goal. The goal you type in the room stays on your own device.
How we use it
- To email you about PreRounds, including early access, your invitation, and launch updates.
- To match you with study partners and rooms that fit your preferences.
- To understand which outreach is working, so we can reach more students.
What we never do
- We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
- We never ask for payment information. PreRounds is free.
- We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels on this site.
Who helps us run PreRounds
We use a small number of trusted service providers that process data only to provide their services to us: Supabase (database and sign-in), Vercel (website hosting and analytics), Stream (video for study rooms), Resend (sign-in emails), and Zoho (email). They are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes.
Your choices
You can ask us to see, correct, or delete your information at any time by emailing hello@prerounds.org. Every email we send includes a way to stop receiving them.
Keeping your information safe
This site is served over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and access to our database is restricted. The public sign-up form can add a sign-up but cannot read the list.
Age
PreRounds is intended for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has signed up, please contact us and we will delete their information.
Changes to this policy
If we make meaningful changes, we will update the date above and, where appropriate, let you know by email.
