Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 25, 2025

Education by Shala Books Inc. ("we," "our," "us") provides AI Student Labs to support students in Grades 3–12. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting student and school data.

1. Information We Collect

Accounts: If you sign in, we collect your username, email, and encrypted password via Supabase. Schools may provision accounts for students.

Templates: Prompts saved by students are stored locally on their device. If syncing is enabled, they are also stored in Supabase.

Device Data: We may collect limited technical data (browser type, usage logs) to improve performance. No tracking cookies are used.

2. How We Use Information

We use data to provide services, save templates, and maintain accounts. We do not sell or share personal information with advertisers.

3. Local Storage vs. Supabase

By default, templates remain in your browser's localStorage. If you create an account, templates may also be securely stored in Supabase.

4. Third-Party Services

We use Supabase (for authentication and secure database storage) and AI providers (such as OpenAI) to process prompts. Prompts may be transmitted to these services, but identifying information should never be included.

5. Children's Privacy & Parental Rights

AI Student Labs is intended for educational use. Schools must obtain parental consent for students under the age of digital consent (e.g., 13 under COPPA, 16 under GDPR-K). Parents may request deletion of their child's account or synced data at any time.

6. Security

We use industry-standard encryption for Supabase accounts. Local templates remain on the student's device and are their responsibility to secure.

7. Data Retention & Deletion

Accounts and synced templates can be deleted by request. Local templates can be cleared directly by the student from their browser.

8. International Transfers

Supabase servers may be located outside your country. By using AI Student Labs, you consent to international data transfers as required for service delivery.
