Student privacy: if a writer knows what school the student goes to, should the student be concerned?

If a writer knows what school the student goes to, should the student be concerned? Policy is to preclude customer identifiers in the official submissions of completed papers, but If the writer inadvertently includes the name of the school in the personal write up section of the submission of the service (not email), does that increase risk?

In general, students are supposed to do their own homework, unless you mean a private tutor who helps you with model writing or research. You had better not mention the word 'risk' because from what I can remember going to school and studying have always been risk-free.

Here is my take on student teaching and student privacy.

Reflection and Analysis in Student Teaching: Teaching as a Personal Metaphor

I believe that as a student teacher I am much like the gardener who is responsible for nurturing and encouraging the plants and flowers of a beautiful and diverse garden. As in a garden which contains many different vegetables, fruits, plants, and flowers, the makeup of the classroom is equally varied. My students may come from a wide variety of backgrounds and have different skills and abilities, but they share the common goal of having come to the classroom environment (the garden) to receive the nurturing necessary to shape and stimulate their growth as individuals. It is up to educators to have the knowledge necessary to recognize their unique attributes and provide an environment that encourages students to work with the abilities they have while improving and building upon those skill-sets that need further attention

The gardener must take into account the external environment, protecting the plants and flowers from bad weather, bugs, and other creatures who might try to destroy it. Even something positive, like sunshine, can be too much of a good thing for some plants. Thus, the student teacher must provide guidance for her students, ensuring that the outside world does not have a negative influence upon them. At the same time, the student teacher must give her students room to grow independently so that they may build confidence and self esteem. Plants and flowers are often stronger than some gardeners give them credit for, and do best when they are not over-pruned or watered too much. I believe that when children have supportive teachers who allow them the space to develop their own coping skills, they can flourish as much as any well-cared for garden.

As a wise student rule, you should avoid including any identifying marks, specially the name of your school when you submit an order to a writing company or to an independent writer. While the risk of the information being used against you is minimal, you will never know when you will be one of the rarities who ends up getting into trouble because you did not think that the name of the university could be used against you. There are specific information that should never be shared with your writing company or writer. These are:

1. Your name;
2. Your location;
3. Your student ID number;
4. The name of your university.

These are private information that should only be shared between the student and the school. Anyone else doesn't have any business with these information. Should you be concerned if you accidentally share the information? I believe that you definitely should be. While not all writing companies and independent writers use these information to blackmail a student, there are some criminals that actually do that. I don't think that having your university name, without your actual name or student number, or both, will result in a problematic or blackmail situation for you, but I would be worried just the same.

A student should always be concerned once a writer is given access to any sort of private information. That includes the name of the university the student attends. There is no need for a student to submit any of the following information:

1. University name
2. Student number
3. Course name
4. Course professor's name
5. Any other identifying marks

A company that requires to submit such information should be questioned regarding their ultimate purpose. Private information should not be required and payment information should be passed through a masking service such as Paypal or ( if you are into new currency technologies) Bitcoin. Submitting identifiable information will pose a risk to a student who may use the writing service only one time. Therefore, a student must never use a service that requires the submission of too many personal and academy related information.

If you're dealing with a legitimate writer, it really shouldn't matter. I only ask what country my clients go to school, because that's relevant to the expected academic level of the work. Quite often, clients actually volunteer much more specific info about where they go to school, including giving me their school library account ID and PW. I usually explain to them that it's never a good idea to have a writer log in to their school accounts because all that activity is readily available (and very difficult to explain) if anybody at the school ever had a reason to check and I ask them to just download all the project materials on their end and send them to me as files.

I do the same thing to ensure the writing fits what my clients' need. Other than that, it doesn't matter to me where they attend school. I also agree with @Freelancer writer on not giving your login info to a writer. We have no business with that info. If a writer needs info specific to your course, you can email it to the writer.

I highly doubt that knowing where a client goes to school matters to the writer. If a writer is a trulylegitimate one, then it should not bother the student who is availing of the service. It does not really change the output of the paper. However, there are other details like the client's level of education that matter because they can help the writer tailor-fit how they need to curate the paper. I've had instances wherein the client would voluntarily hand out their log-in information to obtain their data. If they wish to freely do this, then I'm not bothered. If they opt to send in the additional files in another way, it is alright as well. It all really depends on the demand and the level of comfort of a person. Of course, I would personally not coerce them into providing said details.

If the student hired a writing company instead of directly hiring a writer, then he should be worried about any personal information that was submitted. While it is not a common occurrence, there are some companies that use the information for their own benefit. Based on my experience, students tend to include this information when they ask the writer to create a title page for the paper. I never create a title page for my clients as I do not wish to have any of their school related information on file. I also tell the students who hire my writers that they will not be creating a title page for them because my company respects data privacy laws. Students should be able to hire a writer or a writing company without worrying about how their personal information is used. It is up to the writer or company to protect that information by not requiring any non-payment related and non order instruction / information in the first place.
