Kate Hatch runs Simply Admitted as a sole proprietor. This explains what information the site holds about a student and their family, why it is here, who else sees it, and how to have it removed. It is written to be read rather than to be survived, so it is shorter than most.
In effect from August 21, 2026. Questions to kate@simplyadmitted.com.
Signing in with Google shares your email address, your name, and nothing else. The tool asks Google for no other permission and cannot read your mail, your files or your calendar.
Kate separately connects her own Google Calendar so the site can tell you which of her office hours are genuinely free. That connection is hers alone, it is never asked of a student or a parent, and it uses the narrowest permission Google offers — free and busy times only. It cannot see the title, location or guests of any appointment.
Simply Admitted’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. That information is used only to provide and improve the features you can see here. It is never sold, never used for advertising, and never given to a human to read except where you have asked for support or the law requires it.
Two features send text to a language model through OpenRouter. The career suggestions on the intake form send the five short answers you type there. The analysis Kate can run on an essay sends that essay.
Nothing is sent automatically. Both happen only when a person presses a button, and neither is used to train anybody’s model. If you would rather no part of your writing left the site, do not use those two features and nothing will.
These are every company that touches any of it, and what each one does. There are no others.
Kate can see everything about her own students, which is the point of the tool. A student sees their own work and nobody else’s. A parent with an account sees their own child’s progress and drafts, and nothing about any other family.
Parents receive progress updates only after they have said yes, and can stop them from any email without asking anyone. A student can always see exactly which parents are subscribed and what each update contains.
Most students here are sixteen to eighteen and are working on an application with their parents’ knowledge. The site is not intended for children under thirteen and Kate does not knowingly work with them. A parent who wants to see, correct or delete what is held about their child can ask and it will be done.
While an engagement is active, everything is kept — the version history is what makes a lost draft recoverable. Afterwards a student’s record is archived rather than deleted, so it stays available if they come back or need a copy of their own writing.
It is kept until you ask for it to be removed. Write to kate@simplyadmitted.com and it will be deleted, including the drafts and the version history. There is no automatic purge on a timer, and this says so rather than promising one that does not exist.
It is not sold. It is not shared with anyone for advertising. There are no advertising or analytics trackers on this site — the only cookie it sets is the one that keeps you signed in. Nothing about a student is given to a school, and Kate does not contact a school on a student’s behalf without being asked to.
Whoever you are and wherever you live, you can ask what is held about you, ask for a copy of it, ask for it to be corrected, and ask for it to be deleted. Write to kate@simplyadmitted.com.
California residents have those rights under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, along with the right not to be treated differently for exercising them. There is nothing to opt out of regarding sale or sharing, because neither happens.
Passwords are stored using a slow hashing algorithm designed for the purpose and are never recoverable, even by Kate. The one credential the site holds that must be reversible — Kate’s calendar connection — is encrypted so that a tampered copy fails rather than decrypting to something plausible. Links sent by email are signed and expire.
No system is perfect and this one is small. If something goes wrong that affects you, you will be told.
If this changes in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and anyone with an account is told by email. Small corrections happen without an announcement.
