№ 01 · Security & privacy

Where the data goes, in plain English.

The legal version is the privacy policy. This is the version you can read in two minutes and hold us to.

Recordings

Sessions are recorded so that you can replay them

The recording is the product feature that lets you check our work: the whiteboard and both voices, replayable from your account. It exists for you, not for an advertiser.

Voice

Voice audio is processed to run the session

Speech is transcribed so the tutor can respond, and stored as part of the session recording you can play back. It is not used to build a voice profile of your child.

Advertising

No ads, ever

There is no ad inventory in a tutoring session and there never will be. The subscription is the business model — that is the entire reason we can say this plainly.

Other users

No open chat with strangers

A session is your student and the tutor. There is no social feed, no direct messages, no other users to encounter.

Data sales

We don't sell personal data

Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to “partners”. Service providers we rely on to run the product (hosting, speech, model inference) are listed in the privacy policy.

Age and consent

SmartWit is for high-school students, set up by an adult.

The courses we teach — Algebra 1 and Geometry — are high-school courses, and the account is meant to be opened by a parent or guardian who stays in control of it. If a student under 13 wants to use SmartWit, a parent must set it up and supervise it. If you believe a child has an account without your consent, email [email protected] and we will remove it and its recordings.

Not yet true

Three things we want to be able to promise and can't yet. They sit here, below the line, rather than being written upstairs in the present tense.

Parent-held accounts

Today an account is created by whoever signs up. We're moving to a model where the parent holds the account and the student uses a profile inside it — which is how the arrangement already works in most households, and makes every promise on this page true by construction.

One-click deletion of a session

Recordings live in your account. Self-serve deletion of an individual session is being built; until it ships, email us and we'll delete it.

Questions we haven't answered here? [email protected]
