Effective Date: May 9, 2025

Overview of This Policy

Our Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit and interact with our website.

Welcome to https://www.premedcatalyst.com.  This site and our various platforms are owned and/or operated by Premed Catalyst, LLC ("Premed Catalyst," "we," or "us"). This Privacy Policy governs your use of our website, app, email, text messaging, other forms of electronic messaging, offline activities, in-person events, third-party partners or vendors, our learning and other platforms, and Telephone, hereafter referred to as the "Site."

At Premed Catalyst, we are committed to transparent communication about the way our Site collects information from users. We understand that your data is important to you and that you care about how your information is collected and used. We have compiled the information below to explain how we gather, use, and store your information. Please read through this policy carefully. Your use of this Site indicates your consent.

Here's how we protect your data and respect your privacy:

Our role in your privacy

If you are a Premed Catalyst customer or visiting our Site (whether on behalf of yourself or someone else), this policy applies to you.

Our responsibilities

If you are visiting the Premed Catalyst Site or services for your own use, we act as a 'data controller' of 'personal data'. This means we have the responsibility of deciding how personal data is 'processed' and protecting it from harm. Personal data includes any information collected by us or provided by you which could be reasonably linked to you, and that with reasonable efforts could be used to identify you, either directly or indirectly.

Your responsibilities

  • Read this Privacy Policy.
  • If you are a customer, please also check the contract between us regarding the Program as defined therein which may contain further details on how we collect and process your data, and what you have agreed to as a visitor to the Site.
  • If you provide us with personal information about other people, or if others give us your information, we will only use that information for the specific reason for which it was provided to us. By submitting the information, you confirm that you have obtained proper consent and have the right to authorize us to process it on their behalf in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

What about if I'm purchasing services for someone else?

If you are visiting the Premed Catalyst Site on behalf of someone else (e.g., your minor child), you consent to us acting as a 'data processor' of their personal data as well. This means we only process their data to help us provide our service to them, or in accordance with your instructions, or as required by law. You are responsible for informing any third parties how service providers (like us) collect and use data on their behalf.
