Introduction

Lerniva ("we", "us", or "our") is a safe, inclusive, AI-powered social learning ecosystem designed for students, learners, educators, mentors, and school institutions. We take the privacy and safety of our community seriously. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, process, and protect your information when you use our mobile application, web portals, and website (collectively, the "Services").

02

Information we collect

We collect information to provide a secure, tailored educational experience. This includes:

Account credentials

Full name, email address, password, selected role (Learner, Educator, Mentor), school affiliation, and profile photo when you sign up.

Academic & activity logs

Cohorts, classes, assigned lecture materials, study packs, learning notes, flashcards, and response submissions for scheduled assessments.

AI usage & interaction

Prompts sent to the AI Study Assistant, hints provided, quiz progress, and metadata concerning moderation scans.

Safeguarding records

Incident report history, safeguarding logs, and auto-moderated chat logs to ensure a toxic-free ecosystem.

Technical telemetry

Device identifier, IP address, operating system, and application events (e.g. connection losses or tab backgrounding events to enforce assessment integrity).

03

How we use your information

We process your data strictly to fulfill educational, safety, and operational tasks:

Authentication & routing

Authenticate accounts and route you to the correct role-specific portal workspace.

Classroom management

Manage classroom cohorts, track assessment timers, and serve score analytics to school facilitators.

Responsible AI guidance

Operate the AI Study Assistant responsibly — providing guide-first reflections rather than shortcuts.

Safety verification

Screen public and private interactions for safety, ensuring toxic-free and secure communities.

Digital credentials

Provide shareable digital credentials and verified learning records that schools can trust.

04

Children's privacy (COPPA & GDPR)

Because Lerniva is deployed in schools and learning centres, we are highly committed to protecting the privacy of young learners:

Explicit parental consent

We do not collect personal information from children under 13 without explicit consent of their school institution, parent, or legal guardian.

Control & review rights

School administrators or parents have the right to review, edit, or request deletion of a child's personal data at any time.

No monetization

We do not target advertising to children, nor do we sell or monetize any student learning data.

05

Account deletion & data retention

We support your right to delete your account and personal records at any time.

How to request deletion

Delete your account directly through the mobile app settings, or email us at [email protected] from your registered email. Your personal profile, credentials, and custom uploads will be permanently removed within 7 days. For full steps, view our Data Deletion Instructions.

06

Information sharing & disclosure

We do not share your personal information except in these limited cases:

School integration

Facilitators and educators can view cohort progress, assessment results, and safety-related reports linked to their classroom.

Vetted service providers

We may share data with vetted infrastructure partners (database hosting, secure AI models) operating under strict NDAs.

Legal requirements

If required by law, regulation, or legal process to protect student safety or platform integrity.

07

Data security

We implement industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. All database connections use SSL encryption, passwords are hashed using bcrypt, and access to student information is restricted to authorized administrators under strict access controls.

08

Your rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal information:

Data access & inspection

Access, inspect, and export a copy of your personal data at any time.

Profile correction

Rectify, update, or correct incomplete or inaccurate profile details.

Telemetry objection

Restrict or object to the processing of certain educational telemetry.

Permanent deletion

Request permanent account and data deletion as outlined in Section 5.
