Privacy policy

Who the student portal is for

Student accounts are for people aged 16 or older. A parent or guardian must arrange tutoring for a student under 18. The portal is not intended for children under 16. If you believe someone under 16 has provided account information, contact Amir so the account can be reviewed and the information removed where appropriate. A parent's permission does not make an under-16 student eligible for a portal account.

Information collected

• Account information: name, email address, chosen display name, sign-in provider, account verification, age-eligibility confirmation and records of accepted terms. Google sign-in, when available and chosen, may also provide a profile image. Email/password accounts use a password hash; your password is not shown to Amir.
• Learning information: selected questions, submitted answers, attempts, time spent, use of help, saved questions and notes, practice sessions, skill estimates, points, stickers and lesson-plan selections.
• Tutoring and messages: contact details, correspondence and, when booking is available, session dates, times, status and information necessary to arrange the lesson.
• Technical information: session identifiers, IP address, browser/device information and security or operational records. A practice draft can also be saved in your browser when you choose the save action.

Please do not put passwords, government identifiers, payment-card details, full birth dates, medical records or other people's personal information in notebook notes or ordinary email. Ask Amir how to arrange an accommodation without sending a full school or medical file.

How information is used

Information is used to provide and protect accounts, save learning progress, personalize practice, prepare tutoring, answer messages and investigate errors or misuse. The practice planner uses recorded learning activity to select existing reviewed material. Its estimates are learning aids, not official test scores or decisions about school admission.

Amir can review account and learning information needed to provide tutoring and support. Your notebook is not public. Access by the tutor and service providers necessary to operate the website is different from sharing information with other students.

Optional student leaderboard

Leaderboard participation is off by default. If you turn it on in Account settings, your chosen display name and points can be shown to other signed-in students. Choose a nickname if you prefer. You can turn participation off again in Account settings; this removes you from subsequent leaderboard displays.

Service providers and other recipients

The website is built for OpenAI Sites hosting and Cloudflare infrastructure and database services. These services process website and account information to operate the portal. Transactional email, when enabled, uses Cloudflare's email service to deliver verification and password-reset messages. Messages you email to Amir are handled through Gmail.

If you choose Google sign-in, Google handles authentication under its own terms. If booking is enabled in the future, contact details and session information will be sent to Google Calendar to arrange appointments and invitations. Student practice answers and notebook notes are not included in calendar invitations by the website.

The practice page provides access to the official Desmos testing calculator. If the calculator is displayed inside the practice page, your browser connects to Desmos when that page loads. If a separate link is shown, that connection occurs when you open the link. Desmos receives technical information such as your IP address and browser details and handles information entered in its calculator under its own policies. Our website does not send your account details or notebook notes to the calculator. See the Desmos privacy policy and cookie policy, and Google's privacy policy.

Information may also be disclosed when legally required, to respond to a valid legal request, or when reasonably necessary to protect people's safety or investigate fraud or security incidents. Access is limited to what is appropriate for the purpose. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Cookies, browser storage and tracking choices

Sign-in uses necessary cookies to maintain and protect your session. A short-lived necessary cookie records age and terms confirmation while account setup completes. The current sign-in configuration uses sessions lasting up to seven days, which may renew while the account is used. A manually saved practice draft can remain in browser storage until removed. Signing out does not necessarily erase browser-saved drafts; clear this site's browser data on a shared device.

The website does not install advertising pixels or optional audience-tracking analytics. Account-linked learning records support your practice and tutoring. We do not change those necessary operations in response to a browser Do Not Track signal. Because we do not sell information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, a Global Privacy Control signal does not trigger an additional advertising opt-out. Third-party tools such as Desmos have their own storage and tracking practices. You can block cookies or clear site data through your browser, but some sign-in and save functions may then stop working.

How long information is kept

Account and learning records are kept while needed to provide your account and tutoring. Requests to close an account or remove information are reviewed individually. Records that are no longer needed are deleted or de-identified, subject to records that must be retained for a legal obligation, security investigation or a specific dispute. Backups and service-provider logs may remain for a limited period under the provider's retention practices; they are not a substitute for keeping an active student account.

There is currently no automatic inactivity-deletion schedule. You can request deletion at any time. To cancel an appointment, contact Amir separately.

Your requests and choices

Email amirabusafieh@gmail.com to request access to your information, a copy, correction, account closure or deletion, or to raise a privacy concern. You can also change your display name and leaderboard setting in Account settings and remove saved notebook items through the portal where those controls are available.

Amir will verify identity using information proportionate to the request. Do not email a password or identity document. A parent or guardian can contact Amir about a minor's account; their identity and authority must be checked before information is shared. Paying for tutoring does not give someone automatic login access to a student's account. Applicable privacy rights depend on where you live; nothing in this policy takes away rights provided by law.

Security and location

Account access controls and other safeguards are used to protect information, but no website can guarantee absolute security. This is a U.S.-based service; providers may process information in the United States and other places where they operate.

Policy changes and contact

Changes will be posted here with a revised date. Material changes to how existing personal information is used will be brought to affected users' attention, and additional consent will be requested where required. Questions can be sent to Amir Abusafieh at amirabusafieh@gmail.com.
