LSATDefenders is a private LSAT coaching and tutoring service operated by Daniel Arakawa. We provide group coaching through the Vanguard program and 1-on-1 tutoring services to students preparing for the LSAT.

Section 02
When you book a consultation or enroll in any program, we collect:
We do not store your payment card information. All payments are processed securely through Stripe. LSATDefenders only receives confirmation of payment — your card details are handled entirely by Stripe and subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy.
Our website may collect standard usage data such as pages visited, time on site, and general geographic location through basic analytics. This data is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify individual visitors from it.

We use your information only for the following purposes:
We do not use your information for advertising, remarketing, or any purpose unrelated to your coaching experience. We do not build advertising profiles based on your data.
Section 04
Daniel has access to all information collected through the booking form, enrollment process, and session notes. This information is used solely to run LSATDefenders and coach students effectively.
If you are matched with a Defenders-trained tutor, they will have access to your name, relevant academic information (LSAT score, GPA, test date, goal score), and session notes. They will not have access to your payment information or phone number.
We use the following third-party tools to operate LSATDefenders. Each processes your data only as necessary to provide their service:
We do not sell, rent, lease, or share your personal information with any third party for marketing, advertising, or commercial purposes — ever.

To exercise any of these rights, email daniel.arakawa@lsatdefenders.com with your request. We will respond within 14 business days.
Section 07
LSATDefenders handles all student academic information — including LSAT scores, GPA, and test performance — with care and discretion consistent with applicable privacy laws. This information is used solely to provide coaching services and is never disclosed to third parties outside of the service providers listed in Section 04.
We do not share student educational records with law schools, employers, or any other institution without explicit written consent from the student.
Section 08
Our website may use standard cookies for basic analytics and site functionality. These cookies do not identify you personally and are not used to track your activity across other websites.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Doing so will not affect your ability to access LSATDefenders content or enroll in any program.
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or cross-site tracking technologies of any kind.
Section 09
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Our CRM is access-controlled, our payment processing is handled by PCI-compliant Stripe, and your data is never transmitted over unencrypted channels.
No method of data transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you have concerns about the security of your information, contact us at daniel.arakawa@lsatdefenders.com.
Section 10
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of LSATDefenders services after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
