Privacy & Security Policy

Information We Collect

We may collect a variety of personal data from users to facilitate the functionality of our services. This may include student information such as full names, email addresses, course enrollments, assignment submissions, grades, and other academic performance data retrieved from Canvas. Additionally, we collect teacher and administrator data including names, roles, contact details, and usage activity. Furthermore, we may track interactions within our platform, logging user engagement, preferences, and behavioral analytics to continuously improve our system.

How We Use Your Data

The personal data we collect serves several essential purposes. First and foremost, we use this data to track student academic progress, monitor their achievements, and provide automated rewards based on predefined milestones. Additionally, the information helps us personalize user experiences, refine platform features, and enhance system efficiency. We may also use user data to communicate relevant updates, troubleshoot technical issues, and ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

Data Sharing

We take data privacy seriously and do not engage in selling, renting, or trading personal information. However, in certain instances, we may share user data with third-party service providers who assist in essential operational processes, such as reward fulfillment, system hosting, and payment processing. These third-party entities are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of user data, ensuring compliance with industry-standard privacy regulations. Additionally, we may disclose user information when required by law, such as in response to a legal subpoena, government request, or to protect our legal rights and security.

Security Measures

Ensuring the security of your data is our top priority. We employ advanced security measures including end-to-end encryption, secure storage protocols, and multi-layered access controls to protect against unauthorized access and potential breaches. Additionally, we conduct routine security audits, vulnerability assessments, and system updates to address emerging threats. User authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication, may also be implemented to reinforce account security.

Cookies are small data files stored on your device, enabling functionalities such as session retention, personalized recommendations, and preference settings.
