Confidentiality Policy

At assignmentbay, safeguarding confidentiality is paramount to us. However, we’ve observed instances where communication between experts and customers in chat within certain orders overlooks the sensitive principles of confidentiality. In response, we have implemented three confidentiality principles that we request all customers to adhere to:

1. Do Not Share Personal Contacts: Please refrain from sharing your personal contact information with your expert. This includes details such as your first and last name, email address, phone number, the name of the university or school you attend, or your home address. If you need to share any materials, kindly upload them onto your order page or utilize a free file-sharing website.
2. Do Not Share Login Details: Avoid providing the expert with your login credentials to your school or university website. If there is information you need to share, kindly retrieve it yourself and upload it using one of the methods outlined in the previous paragraph. Granting access to your personal log is strongly discouraged.
3. Do Not Engage in Direct Transactions: Refrain from engaging with the expert directly via payment methods such as SolidGate, G2A, or ApplePay over SolidGate, wire transfers, or any other payment method. In the recent past, we encountered an instance of a scam account being used, resulting in several customers falling victim. Please remember that it is only safe to pay for your order directly through our website. We do not collect your credit card information and offer a transparent money-back guarantee.
