6. Children's Privacy (COPPA & FERPA)

MathifyX is an educational platform used by students of all ages. We take children's privacy seriously.

For Users Under 13 (COPPA)

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided us personal information without consent, contact us immediately at marksheininwork@gmail.com and we will delete that information within 30 days.

For School Use (FERPA)

If MathifyX is used in a school setting, student educational records are protected under FERPA. We act as a "school official" under FERPA when access is granted by a school or teacher. Student data is used only for educational purposes and is never used for advertising.

For Teachers and Parents

Teachers who connect Google Classroom are responsible for ensuring they have appropriate authorization from their school or district to use third-party educational tools.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data only in the following circumstances:

- Service Providers: Third-party vendors who assist us in operating the Service (e.g., cloud hosting, AI APIs) under strict data processing agreements

- Legal Compliance: If required by law, court order, or government authority

- Safety: To protect the rights, property, or safety of MathifyX, our users, or the public

All third-party service providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may not use it for their own purposes.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time through the Account settings page. Upon account deletion:

Profile and progress data are deleted within 30 days

Anonymized, aggregated data (e.g., usage statistics) may be retained indefinitely as it cannot identify you

Legal hold obligations may require us to retain certain records longer

9. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted data transmission (TLS/HTTPS), access controls, and secure authentication via Google/Apple OAuth. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to report any suspected security vulnerabilities to marksheininwork@gmail.com.
