Privacy Policy

Brainiaks LLC ("we," "us," or "our") operates BrAIniaks, a learning platform that helps you prepare for exams, study with AI assistance, collaborate with others, and organize your learning materials. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you use our website and services (collectively, the "Service").

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

We collect information in the following categories:

• Account information: Email address, authentication identifiers, and profile details you provide (such as display name or username) when you sign up via email magic link or Google sign-in.
• User content: Documents you upload (such as PDFs), notes, highlights, preparation plans, chat messages, study group content, and other materials you create or store in the Service.
• Usage and activity data: How you interact with the Service, including pages visited, features used, preparation progress, and engagement with AI tutoring features.
• Communications: Messages you send through the Service, support requests, and feedback you provide to us.
• Device and log data: Browser type, IP address, device identifiers, timestamps, and similar technical data collected automatically when you access the Service.
• Analytics data: If you accept analytics cookies, we collect usage data through Google Analytics to understand how the Service is used and to improve it.
• Third-party integration data: If you connect optional integrations (such as Google Calendar), we receive information necessary to provide that feature, such as calendar event data you choose to sync.

We use personal information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
• Authenticate you and manage your account
• Generate personalized study content, quizzes, and AI-assisted learning experiences
• Enable collaboration features such as study groups, messaging, and shared content
• Process uploads, index documents, and deliver preparation plans and related features
• Send service-related communications (such as sign-in links and important notices)
• Monitor, analyze, and improve performance, security, and user experience
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

BrAIniaks uses artificial intelligence to help generate study materials, answer questions, and provide tutoring features. When you use these features, your prompts, uploaded content, and relevant context may be processed by AI systems operated by us or our service providers. We use this processing solely to provide and improve the Service.

AI-generated content may not always be accurate or complete. Do not rely on it as professional, medical, legal, or exam-specific advice.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Service providers that help us operate the Service, including hosting, authentication, database, storage, analytics, video conferencing, email delivery, and AI inference providers
• Other users when you choose to share content publicly, join study groups, or use collaboration features
• Legal and safety purposes when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or to respond to lawful requests
• Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to appropriate safeguards

Our key infrastructure and service providers may include Supabase, Google (authentication, analytics, and optional calendar integration), LiveKit, and AI model hosting providers.

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and (with your consent) measure site usage through Google Analytics.

When you first visit the Service, you may choose to accept or decline analytics cookies. You can change this choice by clearing site data in your browser. Essential cookies required for authentication and core functionality may still be used.

We store your analytics consent preference locally in your browser under the key learning-os-analytics-consent.

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

• Access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you
• Opt out of certain analytics collection by declining analytics cookies
• Disconnect third-party integrations through your account settings
• Request a copy of your data or object to certain processing

California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect and the right to request deletion, subject to certain exceptions. We do not sell personal information as defined under the CCPA.

To exercise your rights, contact us at atharva.sherekar@brainiaks.ai. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

Brainiaks LLC is based in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. By using the Service, you consent to such transfers.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and revise the "Last updated" date. Material changes may also be communicated through the Service or by email where appropriate.
