Privacy Policy

Genesis Education Solutions operates the Genesis K-12 Academy learning platform ("the Platform"). We are committed to protecting the privacy of all users, especially children. Contact us at team@gk12academy.com with any privacy questions.

We collect only what is necessary to provide the service:

• Account information: email address, display name, and grade level provided at registration.
• Progress data: which lessons have been completed, quiz scores, and notebook entries.
• Payment information: handled entirely by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers.
• Usage data: lesson activity and AI tutor interactions for the purpose of improving the experience.

Genesis K-12 Academy is designed for middle school students. Student accounts are always created by and linked to a verified parent or guardian account. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA):

• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.
• Parents may review, update, or request deletion of their child's data at any time by contacting us.
• Student accounts require a parent account and cannot be created independently by minors.
• We do not serve targeted advertising to students.

We use collected data to:

• Provide and improve the Platform and its educational content.
• Track student progress and generate gradebook reports for parents.
• Send enrollment confirmations and important account communications.
• Operate the AI study assistant with lesson context (AI conversations are not stored long-term).

We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Period.

We use the following trusted services to operate the Platform:

• Firebase (Google): authentication, database, and hosting.
• Stripe: payment processing. Stripe's privacy policy governs payment data.
• Google Gemini: powers the AI study assistant. Lesson content sent to Gemini is used only to answer student questions and is not used to train models.

Account and progress data is retained for the duration of your enrollment. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by emailing us. Upon deletion, all student progress records and personal information are removed within 30 days.

We use industry-standard security practices, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), Firebase Authentication for account access, and role-based security rules on our database. No system is 100% secure, and we encourage strong, unique passwords for all accounts.

Parents and guardians have the right to: access the data we hold about their child, correct inaccurate information, request deletion of their child's data, and withdraw consent at any time. Contact us at team@gk12academy.com to exercise any of these rights.

We may update this policy as the Platform evolves. We will notify enrolled users of material changes by email. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update.
