Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 25, 2024

At A+Minds, owned and operated by MBSG LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your information when you use our Service.

1. Information We Collect

• Account Information: To create an account, we collect your email address, username, and password.
• Student Information: Our Service allows you to upload and analyze student submissions for grading. We encourage anonymizing sensitive data (e.g., student names) wherever possible to comply with educational privacy laws.
• Usage Data: We collect information on how you interact with the Service, including features accessed and subscription plan usage.
• Third Party Data: If you are logging in with an external oauth provider, like Google, you are granting access for the application to be able to bring in the drive files that you select. We do not otherwise use Workspace APIs to develop, improve, or train generalized AI and/or ML models.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Service Provision: We use your data to provide, support, and improve our Service, including AI-powered grading, feedback templates, and progress tracking.
• Account Management: We use your information to manage subscriptions, account settings, and billing.
• Analytics and Improvements: We may use anonymized and aggregated data to analyze usage patterns and improve our Service.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

• Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party vendors who support our operations (e.g., Stripe for payments, Google for authentication). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data.
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information to comply with legal requirements, respond to lawful requests, or protect our rights.

4. Data Security

We take data security seriously and implement industry-standard practices to protect your information. However, no method of electronic transmission is entirely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as you maintain an account with us or as necessary to provide the Service. Upon account deletion, we will delete your information except as necessary for legal compliance or dispute resolution.

6. Children’s Privacy

A+Minds is intended for use by teachers, not students. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

7. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to our practices or applicable laws. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
