Acadomic Data Privacy

1. What we treat as private

Briefs, solution drafts, supervisor notes, scan reports, comment threads, and downloaded PDFs are workspace data. We do not publish student work, sell assignment text as a dataset, or use your drafts to advertise to you.

2. Who can see a draft

• You, on assignments you own.
• A tutor you invite onto a comment thread.
• Members of an enterprise organisation when the assignment sits in that workspace. They see the author’s name, not that person’s email address. If you delete your account, that organisation work stays with the organisation and moves to another member.
• Subprocessors that run a scan you start (QA, grammar, or integrity signals). The full solution draft is sent only to produce that check, not your whole library, and not for a purpose other than that check.

3. Integrity signals are indicators, not findings

Optional AI-use and plagiarism tabs exist so you can see a risk band or a source match before work leaves your hands. They are not misconduct findings, not a grade, and not a report Acadomic sends to a school or a client. A human still decides what a highlight means.

We do not build this product to police students. We build it so people are not submitting blind. Access is still workspace-scoped: you, a tutor on a thread you share, or members of an organisation when the assignment sits there — plus the processors needed to run the scan you started. The FAQ and the AI-use risk band guide use the same language.

4. Global privacy rights

Ontinity Private Limited honours access, correction, deletion, export, and objection requests that apply to you. Email contact@acadomic.com and say which right you are using. We may need to confirm it is you before we act.

• EEA / UK (GDPR and UK GDPR). You can access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port personal data, object to certain processing, and complain to your supervisory authority. We rely on contract, legitimate interests (security), and consent (analytics cookies).
• India (DPDP Act). You can request access, correction, erasure, and grievance redressal from Ontinity Private Limited as the data fiduciary for personal accounts.
• California and similar US state laws (CCPA / CPRA). You can know, delete, and correct personal information, and opt out of “sale” or “sharing” for cross-context advertising. We do not sell personal information. Analytics cookies are off until you opt in.
• Education records (including US FERPA). Acadomic is not a school. When a university uses an enterprise workspace, that institution typically remains the controller of learner files; we act as their processor under a DPA on request.

5. International transfers

Hosting, authentication, payments, and model providers may process data outside your country (for example the US, EU, or India). We use those providers only to run Acadomic. The formal list lives on the Privacy policy.

6. How long we keep files

Workspace data stays while the account is active. After you ask us to delete it, or after a cancelled plan ends and the account is closed, we delete personal files. Organisation files stay with the organisation. Paddle keeps invoices for tax. We cancel any subscription that can still charge you and archive the Paddle customer. Our own billing archive has no name or email. A subset can also remain for security or a dispute.

7. How to make a request

Write to contact@acadomic.com with the email on the account and what you want us to do (access, correction, export, or deletion). We will say if the law allows us to refuse part of a request.
