Information We Collect

To provide you with high-quality essay writing services and a seamless user experience, we collect various types of information. This information can be broadly categorized into data you provide directly and data collected automatically through your use of our Services.

Personal Information You Provide Directly

This is information that you voluntarily submit to us when using specific features of our Services.

• Account Registration Data: When you create an account, we collect information such as your name (or a chosen username), email address, and potentially a phone number. You will also create a secure password to protect your account. This information is essential for identifying you, managing your account, and facilitating communication.
• Order Information: When you place an order for an essay or other academic assistance, we collect detailed information necessary to fulfill your request. This includes:
  • Assignment details (topic, subject area, academic level, number of pages, formatting style, specific instructions).
  • Deadline requirements.
  • Any files or documents you upload as source materials or guidelines (e.g., lecture notes, grading rubrics, drafts). We treat these materials with strict confidentiality.
• Payment Details: To process payments for orders, we utilize secure third-party payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, PayPal). While you provide payment information (credit card number, billing address, etc.) directly to these processors, Write My Essay Now typically does not store your full credit card number. We may retain limited information like the transaction ID, the last four digits of your card, card type, and expiration date for verification, support, and record-keeping purposes, always in compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
• Communication Records: When you contact our customer support team via email, live chat, or phone, or communicate with your assigned writer through our platform's messaging system, we may collect and store records of these communications. This helps us resolve issues, improve our service, track order progress, and maintain quality standards. Communications between clients and writers via our platform are designed to protect anonymity where appropriate.
• Feedback and Reviews: If you choose to provide feedback on our services or submit reviews or testimonials, we collect the information you include in your submission. This may be used for service improvement and marketing purposes (often anonymized or with explicit consent).
• Profile Information (Optional): You may have the option to provide additional information in your user profile, such as academic interests or preferences, to help us personalize your experience. Providing this information is entirely optional.

This data helps us monitor website performance, analyze trends, administer the site, and ensure security.

How We Share Your Information

We understand the sensitivity of your information, especially in the context of academic assistance. We limit the sharing of your personal data and only do so under specific circumstances and with appropriate safeguards in place. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

• Writers: To fulfill your order, we share necessary assignment details (topic, instructions, requirements, deadline, academic level, uploaded source materials) with the writer assigned to your project. Crucially, we do not share your real name, email address, phone number, or payment details with the writer. We implement measures, including contractual agreements and platform features, to maintain client anonymity from writers and ensure they adhere to strict confidentiality obligations.
• Payment Processors: We share necessary payment information with trusted third-party payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) to securely process your transactions. These processors have their own stringent privacy and security standards (PCI DSS compliant).
• Third-Party Service Providers: We engage reputable third-party companies and individuals to perform certain functions on our behalf ("Service Providers"). These may include website hosting, data storage, analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics), email delivery services, customer support software providers, security services, and marketing platforms. We only share the information necessary for them to perform their designated functions and require them contractually to maintain the confidentiality and security of the data, processing it only according to our instructions and this Privacy Policy.
• Legal Requirements and Law Enforcement: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
  • Comply with a legal obligation, court order, subpoena, or other lawful request from public authorities.
  • Protect and defend the rights or property of Write My Essay Now.
  • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service.
  • Protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public.

• Aggregated or Anonymized Data: We may share aggregated or anonymized information that does not directly identify you with third parties for purposes such as industry analysis, demographic profiling, marketing, analytics, or research. This data cannot be reasonably used to identify any individual.

Data Security: Protecting Your Information

We take the security of your personal data very seriously and implement a range of technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Our security measures include:

• Encryption: We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) / Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption to protect data transmitted to and from our website, including login credentials, order details, and communications.
• Access Controls: Access to personal information within our organization is restricted to authorized personnel who need the information to perform their job duties (e.g., customer support, technical staff). Access is logged and monitored.
• Secure Infrastructure: We utilize reputable hosting providers with robust physical and network security measures to protect our servers and databases.
• Payment Security: We rely on PCI DSS compliant third-party payment processors to handle sensitive payment card information, minimizing the data we store directly.
• Data Minimization: We strive to collect only the personal information that is necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy.
• Regular Audits and Monitoring: We conduct regular security assessments and monitor our systems for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
• Anonymization Techniques: Where feasible, particularly in communications between clients and writers, we employ techniques to anonymize personal identifiers.
• Employee Training: Our staff receives training on data privacy and security best practices.

Despite these measures, it's important to acknowledge that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You also play a role in protecting your data by using a strong, unique password for your account and keeping it confidential. Please notify us immediately via our Contact Us page if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account or security breach.

Data Retention: How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including providing our Services, resolving disputes, establishing legal defenses, conducting audits, pursuing legitimate business purposes, enforcing our agreements, and complying with applicable laws.

The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

• Account Status: We generally retain your account information for as long as your account remains active or as needed to provide you services. If you request account deletion, we will process it according to your rights, subject to legal or operational requirements.
• Order History: Information related to your orders (excluding sensitive payment details) may be retained for a period necessary to handle potential disputes, provide support, ensure quality control, and comply with financial record-keeping obligations.
• Legal and Regulatory Requirements: We may be required to retain certain information for specific periods mandated by law or regulation (e.g., tax laws, anti-fraud regulations).
• Operational Needs: We retain log data, usage data, and analytics information for a reasonable period to analyze performance, improve services, and maintain security. This data is often aggregated or anonymized over time.
• Backup and Archival: Data may persist in backup or archival systems for a limited period due to the nature of these systems, but it will remain subject to our security controls and will not be actively processed.

When personal information is no longer required for its collected purpose or by law, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
