Last Updated: September 9, 2026

Being Mentor connect students across Pakistan with a trusted online tutor in Pakistan, home tutor, or subject specialist — including A Level online tutors, online English tutors, and exam-prep mentors for Matric, Intermediate, IELTS, and PTE. Whether you’re searching for home tuition near me in Multan or online tutoring from anywhere in the country, this Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By using beingmentor.org, requesting a quote, or contacting us for tutoring services, you agree to the practices described below. If you don’t agree, please don’t use our website or services.

Who we are

Being Mentor is a Pakistan-based tutoring platform headquartered in Multan, helping students find qualified tutors for home and online tuition. You can reach us at:

For any privacy-related questions or requests, this contact information is your first point of contact.

Information We Collect

We collect information in a few different ways, depending on how you interact with our site:

Information you provide directly:

  • Name, email address, and phone number when you request a quote, fill out our contact form, or inquire about tutoring services
  • Details about your academic needs (grade level, subject, exam type — e.g., Matric, A Level, IELTS, PTE) so we can match you with the right tutor
  • Any messages, comments, or other content you voluntarily submit to us

Information collected automatically:

  • IP address and browser user-agent string, primarily for spam and security detection
  • Standard site-usage data such as pages visited and time spent, collected via cookies and analytics tools

Information from comments:

  • If you leave a comment on our blog, we collect the data included in the comment form along with your IP address and browser user-agent string to help identify spam
  • An anonymized, hashed version of your email address may be checked against the Gravatar service to display a profile picture. Gravatar’s own privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes publicly visible next to your comment

Media uploads:

  • If you upload images to the site, please avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can technically extract this data from images that include it

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Match you with a suitable tutor — whether that’s a home tutor in your area or an online tutor for A Level, English, or other subjects
  • Respond to quote requests, contact form submissions, and general inquiries
  • Improve our website, services, and the overall tutoring experience
  • Detect and prevent spam, fraud, or abuse
  • Communicate with you about your inquiry, including via email or phone

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience:

  • Comment cookies: If you leave a comment, you may opt in to saving your name, email, and website in a cookie for convenience. These last one year
  • Login cookies: If you log in (e.g., via our Dashboard), we set cookies to remember your login and display preferences. Login cookies last two days, or two weeks if you select “Remember Me.” Screen-option cookies last one year
  • Temporary cookies: A short-lived cookie on our login page checks whether your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling cookies may affect certain site functionality

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content

Pages and blog posts on beingmentor.org may include embedded content — such as videos, images, or articles — from other websites. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the source website directly, meaning those third parties may collect data about you, use their own cookies, and track your interaction with the embedded content, including if you’re logged into their service.

Who We Share Your Data With

We limit data sharing to what’s necessary to operate our services and keep our site secure:

  • If you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email for security purposes
  • Comments submitted through our site may be checked through an automated spam-detection service
  • We may share information with service providers (such as hosting or email delivery services) strictly to operate beingmentor.org — these providers are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes

We do not share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes without your consent.

How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments and their metadata are retained indefinitely, so we can recognize and automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Registered users (if applicable) have their profile information stored for as long as their account is active. Users can view, edit, or delete this information at any time, except their username.

Inquiry and contact form data is retained only as long as needed to respond to your request and for reasonable record-keeping, unless you ask us to delete it sooner

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you’ve left a comment, submitted a form, or registered an account on beingmentor.org, you have the right to:

  • Request an exported copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Request that we correct or erase your personal data
  • Withdraw consent for us to contact you, at any time

Exceptions apply where we’re legally required to retain certain data for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@beingmentor.org.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s Privacy

Being Mentor works with students of various ages, including minors seeking a home tutor or exam-prep support. Where a student is under 18, we expect a parent or guardian to submit inquiries and provide consent on the student’s behalf. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information without appropriate parental consent, please contact us so we can address it.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or regulatory reasons. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
