1. Introduction
Welcome to SkillSaber ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience when using our AI-powered educational platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website, mobile applications, and services (collectively, the "Services").

2. Information We Collect

- Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and password.
- Child Learner Accounts: An authorized school representative or verified parent/guardian may create a limited learner account using a display name and a hidden, non-deliverable login identifier. We collect learning progress and may store a parent contact email supplied by the adult. We do not ask the child for a real email address, date of birth, phone number, home address, or payment details.
- Profile Information: You may choose to provide additional information such as your educational background, learning goals, and preferences.
- Content: Any content you upload, create, or share through our Services, including study materials, notes, and chat conversations with our AI tutor.

4. AI Services and Data Processing
Our Services use artificial intelligence (AI) to provide personalized tutoring and learning experiences. When you interact with our AI features:
- Your conversations and inputs are processed by third-party AI service providers (including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google) to generate responses.
- We may use anonymized and aggregated data to improve our AI models and Services.
- Child learner data is used to provide and support the learning service and is not used to train third-party AI models.
- You can request deletion of your AI conversation history at any time through your account settings.
- We implement data minimization practices and do not share personally identifiable information with AI providers beyond what is necessary for the service.
Important: Please do not share sensitive personal information (such as financial details, health information, or government IDs) in your conversations with our AI tutor.
5. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We may share your information in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: With third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as payment processing, data analysis, email delivery, and hosting services.
- AI Service Providers: With AI service providers to deliver personalized learning features, subject to strict data processing agreements.
- Legal Requirements: When required by law, legal process, or government request.
- Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
- With Your Consent: When you have given us explicit consent to share your information.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
6. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption of data in transit and at rest
- Regular security assessments and penetration testing
- Access controls and authentication mechanisms
- Employee training on data protection
- Incident response procedures
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Services. We will also retain and use your information as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us or using the account deletion feature in your settings.
When an authorized school or guardian removes a child learner, we disable and delete the login account, delete the direct profile copy, and schedule the remaining identity link for deletion within 90 days. Learning records left after that point are retained only under an unresolvable random identifier unless earlier deletion or longer legal retention is required.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:
- Access: Request access to your personal information
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
- Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information
- Portability: Request a copy of your data in a portable format
- Objection: Object to certain processing of your information
- Withdrawal of Consent: Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected].
9. Children's Privacy
Children may not independently register or purchase a plan. A child under 13 may use a limited learner account only when it is created by a verified parent/guardian or by an authorized school representative for the school's educational use. The adult must have the consent or other legal authority required in the child's jurisdiction. These accounts use a display name, class/family code, and one-time PIN rather than the child's real email address.
Parents and guardians may view family learner progress, reset the learner's PIN, and remove accounts they created. A parent linked to a school learner receives read-only progress access; the school remains the first point of contact for account changes. Contact us if a child account was created without proper authority or to request access, correction, or deletion. Users between 13 and 18 should use the Services with parent/guardian or school supervision where required.
10. International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have different data protection laws. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information, including standard contractual clauses approved by relevant authorities.
11. GDPR Compliance (For EEA Users)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For detailed information about our GDPR compliance, please see our GDPR Information Page.
12. CCPA Rights (For California Residents)
California residents have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):
- Right to know what personal information is collected
- Right to know whether personal information is sold or disclosed
- Right to say no to the sale of personal information
- Right to access personal information
- Right to equal service and price
We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA.
