At InquiryCycle, we are deeply committed to protecting the privacy of educators and students. This policy outlines how we handle your data.
InquiryCycle is designed with student privacy as its core architecture. We do not require student logins, emails, or personal identifiers. Students join rooms using an anonymous 6-digit PIN and choose a temporary pseudonym.
All student submissions, drawings, and interactions are 100% ephemeral. They are stored temporarily in our databases to facilitate the live presentation and are permanently hard-deleted after 24 hours via automated cron jobs. We do not keep backups of student evidence.
For educators who create accounts, we collect minimal information (email address) required for authentication. This data is secured by Supabase. Your generated Inquiry Decks and Review Games are saved to your private Library.
We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal information or student data. When you generate decks or request AI Formative Feedback, text is sent to Google's Gemini API via secure ephemeral requests. No student identifiers are sent with these requests.
We actively comply with GDPR, COPPA, and FERPA standards by strictly minimizing data collection and ensuring total data ephemerality for students.
