Follow-Through Privacy Notice

Effective date: November 11, 2026

This notice explains what information Follow-Through collects, how we use it, who can see it, and the choices you have. Follow-Through is operated by Engaging Students, Inc. (“we” and “us”).

This notice covers only Follow-Through: its forms, its emails, and the pages that open from links in those emails. It doesn’t cover the rest of writersclc.com, including the Follow-Through landing page.

Information We Collect

When you sign up as a writer, we collect your name, your email address, how you heard about Follow-Through, your writing goal and weekly target, and a referral code if someone shared one with you. If you invite Partners, we also collect each Partner’s name, email address, and how you know them.

When you log a writing session, we collect what you enter about it, such as the date, how long you wrote, and how many words you wrote.

When you use the links in our emails, we record what you did and when. That includes confirming your email, choosing when your updates arrive, accepting or declining an invitation, sending a cheer, and stopping updates. We also keep a record of which emails we sent and when.

If you’re a Partner, the writer who invited you gave us your name, your email address, and how they know you. We use that information only to invite you and, if you accept, to send you their weekly updates.

If you use our form to suggest other ways to use Follow-Through, we collect your suggestion, where you found the form, and your email address if you choose to share it.

How We Use It

We use your information to run Follow-Through: to confirm your sign-up and send your reminders, weekly updates, Partner updates, and cheers.

We also use it to understand how Follow-Through is used so we can improve it. For that work, we look at records with names and email addresses removed.

If you share your email address on that form, we may contact you to learn more about your suggestion and to send you updates about Follow-Through. You can stop these emails at any time by replying to any of them or by emailing followthrough@writersclc.com.

We don’t sell, rent, or trade your information, and we don’t use it for advertising.

No AI

Follow-Through doesn’t use artificial intelligence.

Who Can See It

Your Partners. If you invite Partners and they accept, each weekly update shows them your name and your progress. That includes your progress since you started Follow-Through, not only from the week they joined.

The writer who invited you. If you’re a Partner, the writer may be told about your response, such as when you send a cheer.

The people who run Follow-Through. Only the people at Engaging Students, Inc. who run the program can see your information.

Our service providers. Follow-Through runs on Google Workspace, so Google stores and processes your information for us through Google Forms, Google Sheets, Gmail, and Google Apps Script. The pages that open from our email links are hosted by Google. Our emails load fonts from Google Fonts, which can share your IP address with Google when you open them. Google’s handling of information is covered by its own privacy policy.

When the law requires it. We may share information if we’re legally required to.

If the business changes hands. If Engaging Students, Inc. or Follow-Through is merged, sold, or transferred, your information may be transferred as part of that. It will stay covered by this notice, and we’ll tell you before any change to how it’s used.

How Long We Keep It

We keep your information while Follow-Through is running so your weekly updates can show your full history.

If you sign up but don’t confirm your email within 30 days, we delete your sign-up.

If Follow-Through ends entirely, we’ll delete your personal information within 90 days, unless you ask us to keep your history.

We may keep anonymous usage data, meaning records with names and email addresses removed that can’t reasonably be used to identify you, to understand how Follow-Through was used.

Your Choices

Partners can stop receiving updates at any time with the link at the bottom of any update.

Anyone can ask to see, correct, or delete their information by emailing us at followthrough@writersclc.com. We’ll complete a deletion within 7 days of confirming your request. Deleted information can remain in the spreadsheet’s version history, which only the people who run Follow-Through can access, until that file is deleted.

If you ask us to delete your information, we remove your email address from that form but may keep your suggestion.

We keep a record of your deletion request and our confirmation email, including your email address, for 12 months so we can show we honored it, even if Follow-Through ends.

How We Protect It

Access to your information is limited to the people who run Follow-Through. Each link in our emails is unique to you, and anyone who has the link can use it, so please don’t forward our emails. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.

Follow-Through is run from the United States, and your information is stored and processed there.

Do Not Track

Follow-Through doesn’t track you across other websites, and we don’t allow other companies to do so through Follow-Through, so we don’t respond differently to Do Not Track signals.

Children

Follow-Through is for people 18 and older. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

Changes to This Notice

If we update this notice, we’ll change the effective date at the top. If we make a material change to how we use your information, we’ll email you before it takes effect.
