• API Usage Data: We automatically log information about your use of our Service, such as the number of LLM requests you make, the timestamps of your requests, and your user ID. This data is stored on our servers and is used for security, abuse prevention, and service administration.
• Cookies and Analytics: For users aged 13 and older, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service. We use Google Analytics to collect information like your IP address, browser type, and device type. This data is anonymized and used to help us understand user behavior and improve the Service.

C. Information We DO NOT Collect

• Your Generated Content: We are committed to your privacy. The prompts you write, the exams generated, and the answers you provide ("Generated Content") are all stored locally in your web browser's IndexedDB. We do not collect, store, or have access to this Generated Content on our servers.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect from users aged 13 and older for the following purposes:

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with the following third parties only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy:

• LLM Providers: For users with accounts, your prompts are sent to third-party Large Language Model (LLM) providers (such as Google Gemini) to generate the exam content.
• Analytics and Ad Providers: For users aged 13 and older, we share data with Google for the purposes of analytics (Google Analytics) and serving ads (Google AdSense).
• Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

4. Children's Privacy and COPPA

Our Service is intended for a general audience, and we take the privacy of children very seriously. We are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

• Age Gate: We use an age gate to determine a user's age before they can access our Service.
• Experience for Users Under 13: Users who identify as being under the age of 13 are directed to a restricted version of our Service ("Kid Mode"). This mode operates under the following strict rules to protect their privacy:
• No Account Creation: We do not permit children under 13 to create an account. Login and signup features are disabled.
• No Personal Information Collection: We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information (such as email addresses, IP addresses, or cookies) from children under 13.
• No Analytics or Tracking: Google Analytics and any other tracking scripts are completely disabled for users in Kid Mode.
• No Free-Text Input to Third Parties: The AI exam generation feature, which requires sending user input to an external LLM provider, is disabled. The experience is limited to pre-generated, static content that does not transmit any user data.
• Accidental Collection: If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take all reasonable steps to delete that information from our systems as quickly as possible.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately via our contact form so we can take action.
