Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how PencilPath collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the platform.
This draft is product-specific and publishable for launch review, but it should still be reviewed by legal counsel before production launch.
Information We Collect
PencilPath collects account information such as name, email address, and profile details you provide during signup. We also collect learning data generated through the platform, including quiz history, worksheets, flashcards, planner activity, and AI-tool usage needed to personalize the experience.
How We Use Information
We use personal information to authenticate users, maintain profiles, deliver learning features, measure engagement, improve product quality, and provide support. We also use activity data to generate personalized study feedback, progress reporting, and in-app notifications.
AI Features
Some PencilPath features send prompts and learning context to AI providers in order to generate explanations, quizzes, worksheets, summaries, and tutoring responses. You should avoid submitting highly sensitive personal information in open-ended prompts.
Analytics and Diagnostics
We may use analytics and diagnostic tools to understand feature adoption, performance, and reliability. This data helps us identify failures, measure retention, and improve the product, and is handled under our standard security and access controls.
How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We share data only with service providers required to operate PencilPath, such as hosting, authentication, analytics, and AI infrastructure vendors, or when disclosure is required by law.
Data Retention
We retain account and learning data for as long as the account remains active, or as needed to provide the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We may delete or anonymize data when it is no longer needed.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect data, including authenticated access controls, server-side authorization for sensitive actions, and environment-based secrets handling. No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Children and Parent Access
PencilPath is designed for student learning workflows. Parents or guardians are responsible for the account relationship, profile setup, and reviewing whether the service is appropriate for their child. If you believe data about a child was submitted improperly, contact us for review and removal.
Your Choices
You may update profile information in the app and may contact us to request account deletion or support. Some operational data may be retained where necessary for security, legal compliance, or fraud prevention.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the product evolves. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
