Privacy Notice

Last updated: June 2026

This is the learning platform for your psychology course. It explains what the site records while you use it, why, and who can see it. The short version: we record how you work so we can grade fairly, give useful feedback, and tell human writing apart from AI. We do not sell your data, and we only share it with the people and services needed to run your course.

What We Collect

• Account: your username and school email, used for signing in.
• Coursework: the responses, quiz answers, and flashcard results you submit.
• Progress: completion, scores, streaks, and activity timestamps.
• How you work on a response: to help tell human writing from AI, the site pays attention to how an answer comes together, not just the finished text. It keeps general patterns like how much you type versus paste, the pace and pauses of your writing, and how long you spend with the material. These are recorded as counts and timing only. It does not record the keys you press or watch what you type, and the only writing it keeps is the answer you submit.
• Writing style: from the answers you submit, the site measures broad style patterns, such as sentence length and vocabulary variety. This helps tell human writing from AI, sometimes by comparing a new answer with your own earlier work.
• Optional background information: if you choose to share demographic details during onboarding, your instructor uses them only to check that the course is serving every group of students fairly.

How It's Used

• To grade your work and track your progress.
• To give you feedback.
• To support academic integrity by telling human work from AI as fairly as we can.

A Note on Fairness

The information about how you work protects honest students too. If an AI-detection result is ever questioned, the record of how an answer was actually written, typed steadily over time in your own style, is often the clearest evidence that the work is yours. These signals are there to inform a human review by your instructor. They do not on their own change your grade or accuse you of anything.

Drafts in Your Browser

As you type an answer, a copy is saved in your own browser so you do not lose work if a page reloads. That draft stays on your device and is not sent anywhere until you submit.

Who Can See It

• You: your own work and progress.
• Your instructor: your submissions, grades, progress, and the integrity signals above.
• Course service providers: the services listed below receive only the data needed to run the course.
• No sale or advertising use: we do not sell your data, use it for ads, or share it for unrelated purposes.

Improving the Platform

We use combined, de-identified data from across all students to see how the course is working and to improve the learning experience for everyone. This is always about the group, never about singling out one person. Any demographic information you share is used only by your instructor to check that the course is serving every group of students fairly. None of this affects your grade, and none of it is shared outside your course.

Services We Rely On

• Automated grading (Together.ai, with DeepInfra as a backup): your submitted text is sent for automated feedback, without identifying information attached.
• Additional automated review (Anthropic): some responses, for example when you appeal a grade, are reviewed by a second service.
• AI detection (Pangram): submitted text is checked for AI-generated content.
• Email (Mailgun): used to send verification codes where required.
• Hosting (Render) and error monitoring (Sentry): keep the site running and help us fix problems; these may briefly record your account identifier in technical logs.

Data Retention

Your data is retained for the duration of the course and may be kept for grade records as required by the institution.

Your Rights

Under FERPA, you have the right to:

• Inspect your education records
• Request corrections to inaccurate information
• Request deletion after the course ends (contact your instructor)
