Quantum Learning Machines (“QLM,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the Mastery OS platform, including ACT Mastery, AP Mastery, and Foundation Mastery (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, store, and otherwise process your personal information when you access or use any of our Services, whether through our website, mobile applications, APIs, or any other means.
By accessing or using any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you must immediately cease all use of the Services.
This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected through the Services, including information collected from students, parents, guardians, educators, institutional administrators, and any other users or visitors.
We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register for an account, use the Services, make a purchase, or otherwise communicate with us. This includes:
When you access or use the Services, we automatically collect certain information, including:
We may receive information about you from third-party sources, including authentication providers (such as Google, Apple, or other single sign-on services) when you choose to link your account, analytics providers that help us understand usage patterns, educational institutions that license our Services on your behalf, and publicly available sources. We may combine information received from third parties with information we collect directly.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:
We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your information, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, access controls, and regular security assessments.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot and do not guarantee the absolute security of your information. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk, and you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, QLM SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO, USE OF, OR DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO HACKING, DATA BREACHES, SYSTEM VULNERABILITIES, OR THE ACTIONS OF THIRD PARTIES.
QLM complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA, 15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6506) and its implementing regulations. We collect date of birth at registration to determine age-appropriate privacy protections.
Children under the age of 13 cannot create accounts directly. A parent or legal guardian must create an account on the child's behalf using the Parent/Guardian role. We obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting any personal information from children under 13.
Students ages 13 through 17 must obtain verifiable parental consent before accessing learning features of the Services. We collect the following data from minors:
Parents and legal guardians of minor students have the right to:
To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@satmastery.app or use the parental controls in your account settings.
We disable third-party analytics tracking (including Google Analytics and similar services) for all authenticated minor users. No behavioral tracking, interest-based profiling, or advertising data is collected from minors.
QLM complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g) and its implementing regulations when operating on behalf of educational institutions. When a school, school district, or educational institution licenses the Services, the following provisions apply:
We maintain the following categories of education records:
Parents of students under 18 (and eligible students 18 and older) have the right to inspect and review education records, request amendments to records they believe are inaccurate or misleading, and consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information from education records. These rights transfer to the student at age 18 or when the student enrolls in a postsecondary institution.
We do not designate any student information as directory information. All student data requires prior written consent for disclosure, except as otherwise permitted under FERPA.
Student education records are disclosed to the following third parties under signed Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) that impose obligations consistent with FERPA requirements:
Education records are retained for the duration of the institutional relationship and for a period thereafter as required by applicable law or contractual obligations. Upon termination of an institutional agreement, we will delete or return education records in accordance with the terms of the Data Processing Agreement, subject to our backup and retention policies described in Section 17.
The Services use artificial intelligence to provide personalized learning experiences. The following describes how AI features process your data:
When you request AI-generated explanations or interact with the AI tutor, question content, your estimated score range, and anonymized learning context (such as mastery levels and recent performance) are sent to Anthropic's Claude API. Your name, email address, and other personally identifying information are never included in these transmissions. Anonymization occurs on our servers before any data is sent to external AI providers.
Skill mastery calculations and personalized difficulty adjustments run locally on our servers using proprietary models. This computation does not require transmission of your data to external AI providers.
We apply data minimization principles to all AI processing. Only the minimum data necessary for the specific AI function is transmitted to external providers. We do not send historical data, account metadata, or payment information to AI providers.
Every AI data transmission is logged in an immutable audit trail, including the timestamp, the type and volume of data sent, the receiving provider, and the purpose of the transmission. For users subject to FERPA, this audit trail is maintained as part of the education record.
AI-powered features for minor students are only available after verifiable parental consent has been obtained. Parents and guardians may opt their child out of AI features at any time through account settings or by contacting privacy@satmastery.app.
AI-generated content, including explanations, tutoring responses, recommendations, and score predictions, is provided for informational and educational supplementation purposes only. AI features are not a substitute for professional instruction, academic advising, or human judgment. AI outputs may contain errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. QLM makes no guarantee, warranty, or representation regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability of any AI-generated content. Users rely on AI-generated content entirely at their own risk.
Subject to applicable law and verification of your identity, you have the following rights regarding your personal information:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@satmastery.app. We will respond to verified requests within the timeframes required by applicable law. We may deny or limit requests where permitted by law.
