Your privacy and data security are our top priorities.

Last Updated: March 8, 2026

1. Introduction

AI School Mentor ("we," "our," or "us") is dedicated to protecting the privacy of our users, especially students. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website and AI-powered services.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect information that is necessary to provide and improve our educational services:

  • Account Information: Name, email address, and authentication data (e.g., Google Sign-In).
  • Educational Data: Grade level, school interests, and academic goals provided during onboarding.
  • AI Interaction Data: Queries submitted to our AI features (Study Buddy, Essay Reviewer, etc.) are processed to generate responses.
  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and usage patterns to ensure platform stability and security.

3. How Your Data is Used by AI

Our platform is powered by third-party AI providers (such as Google and Groq). When you use our AI features:

  • Processing: Your inputs are sent to these providers via secure, enterprise-grade APIs.
  • Training: We utilize "Zero Data Retention" configurations where available. We do not sell your data to AI providers to train their public models.
  • Personalization: Your data helps the AI understand your unique academic context to provide better roadmaps.

4. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

We are fully committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental or school consent.

Parents have the right to:

  • Review the personal information we have collected from their child.
  • Request the deletion of their child's information.
  • Refuse further collection or use of their child's information.

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not share your personally identifiable information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. We may disclose information only:

  • To trusted service providers who help run our platform (e.g., Firebase for database hosting).
  • To comply with legal obligations or to protect the safety of our users.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) and strict access controls to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights under the CCPA, GDPR, or similar laws to access, correct, or delete your personal data. You can manage your account settings or contact us directly for data requests.
