Privacy Policy for ELS-AI

Last Updated: Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026

Welcome to ELS-AI. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users, including educators, students, and parents. Because our application is designed for users of all ages, we have implemented strict data protection measures to ensure compliance with global privacy standards, including COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) and FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act).

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to provide and improve the ELS-AI educational experience.

• Account Information: When educators or administrators create an account, we collect names, email addresses, and school affiliations. Student accounts are typically created by or with the consent of educators/parents using minimal identifying information.
• Educational Data: We collect data generated through the use of our app, including quiz responses, content creation inputs, and completion status.
• Performance Metrics: To power our Planner & Reports features, we track student progress and classroom performance metrics.
• Device and Usage Data: To enable real-time synchronization across devices, we collect non-identifiable technical data such as IP addresses, device types, and app interaction logs.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used exclusively to support and enhance the learning environment:

• To operate our Classroom Management tools and enforce strict role-based access controls.
• To power Interactive Quizzes and provide automated, assignment-aware filtering.
• To generate insights via our Planner & Reports interfaces for authorized educators.
• To facilitate Real-Time Synchronization for interactive classroom sessions.

3. Children's Privacy (Under 13)

ELS-AI is built for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent or consent from a school/educator acting on behalf of the parent. If we discover we have collected personal information from a child without appropriate consent, we will delete it immediately. Student data is never used for targeted advertising.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell or rent user data to third parties. Information is only shared in the following specific contexts:

• Within the Classroom Context: Thanks to our strict access controls, student data and performance metrics are only visible to the specific educators and administrators assigned to that student's classroom.
• Third-Party Multimedia Services: ELS-AI embeds high-quality, approved educational videos. When interacting with these integrated multimedia features, non-identifiable usage data may be shared with our trusted video hosting providers strictly to deliver the content.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

5. Data Security and Retention

We employ industry-standard security measures, including encryption and secure server hosting, to protect your data. Our strict access controls ensure that educators only see and manage data for their assigned classrooms. We retain personal data only for as long as the account is active or as needed to provide our educational services. When an account is deleted, all associated personal and performance data is permanently removed from our systems.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, users (or their parents/guardians) have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your data.
• Opt-out of non-essential data collection (Note: opting out of core educational data collection may prevent the app from functioning properly).

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. If we make material changes, particularly regarding how we handle children's data, we will notify users via an in-app alert or email prior to the change taking effect.
