Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

Our Commitment

AIQ is built for children. We collect the least data possible to make the app work, we never sell or share it, and we never use it for advertising - AIQ has no ads at all.

Solo Play (No Class Joined)

Nothing leaves the device. If you play without joining a teacher's class, your display name (which you choose - we never ask for real names), age group, lesson progress, XP, quiz scores, streak count, journal entries, and sound/language preferences all stay in your browser's local storage. There is no account, no login, and no server ever sees this data.

Joining a Class

If a student joins a class using a code from their teacher, AIQ stores the minimum needed to make that work on our server: the nickname the student chooses, their 4-digit PIN (as a one-way cryptographic hash, never in plain text), their age group, and their lesson progress - so it can be recovered on another device and shown on the teacher's dashboard. We do not collect a student's real name, email address, date of birth, or photo, under any circumstance.

Teacher Accounts

A teacher who creates an account provides an email address and a password (stored as a salted, hashed value - we never store or see the plain-text password) and, optionally, a school name. This is used only to sign in and manage that teacher's own classes.

What We Never Collect

From children, at any age: real names, email addresses, phone numbers, precise location, photos or videos, browsing history outside the app, device identifiers, or biometric data. We do not run advertising, and we do not use tracking cookies.

Children's Privacy (COPPA & RA 10173)

AIQ is designed around data minimization for children under 13: solo play sends nothing to a server at all, and the class-join flow collects only a self-chosen nickname and a hashed PIN - no personal information as defined under the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) or the Philippine Data Privacy Act (RA 10173). Because no child-identifying data is collected, no verifiable parental consent flow is required for solo play; a teacher account holder is the one who sets up and consents to a class on behalf of their students, consistent with the "school official" exception school tools commonly rely on.

Third-Party Services

Fonts and the Tone.js sound library are bundled with the app itself, not loaded from a third-party server. The AI Playground (an optional activity where you train a tiny image classifier using your device's camera) loads two machine-learning libraries, TensorFlow.js and MobileNet, from the CDNs cdnjs.cloudflare.com and cdn.jsdelivr.net - but only if you open that activity. Those CDNs may log standard web request data (like your IP address) per their own privacy policies; we do not control this. Camera images used in the AI Playground are processed entirely on your device and are never uploaded anywhere. The feedback form (optional) is hosted by Google Forms and is subject to Google's privacy policy.

Data Deletion

Solo-play data can be erased at any time from Settings → Reset Everything, or by clearing your browser's local storage manually. To delete a class-linked student or a teacher account, use the in-app deletion options or reach out through the feedback form.

Future Changes

If we ever add features that require data collection (such as cloud saves or AI tutor), we will update this policy, obtain appropriate consent, and ensure full COPPA compliance. Any future data collection will follow the principle of data minimization - collecting only what is strictly necessary.

AIQ is built by Alfredo Palconit Jr. in the Philippines as a free, open educational resource. For privacy questions, use the feedback form in the app or visit aiq.ph.
