We understand that your personal information is important to you, and that is why you have choices in how your personal information is used and shared. We want you to have access to your personal information, so that you can help keep it as accurate as possible.

For example, you can choose whether to create an account (or use the Service without registering). If you register for an account, you can:

  • Limit optional information you provide
  • Choose whether you wish to share personal information with (and use) third party services
  • Choose whether to add a coach to your account
  • Choose whether you wish to receive optional email
  • Update, correct, and delete your account information through your account settings

Your account settings

We want you to have access to your information, so that you can help keep it as accurate as possible. If you register and provide the Integrated MCAT Course with information, you may update, correct, or delete your account and information at any time by reviewing your profile information and preferences on your account settings page.
