EssaiQ (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is an AI-powered essay practice tool that grades AP History essays (DBQ, LEQ, and SAQ) against College Board rubrics. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and your rights.
| Data | Why | Stored? |
|---|---|---|
| Account email address | Authentication and account recovery | Yes — encrypted at rest |
| Birth year | Age verification (service requires users to be 13 or older) | Yes |
| Essay text (typed) | Sent to AI model for grading; stored temporarily for post-grading review | Yes — automatically deleted after 90 days. Only score and feedback are kept long-term, linked to an anonymous ID — never your email. |
| Uploaded images / PDFs | Sent to AI model for grading | Not stored — processed in-memory only |
| AI score + feedback | Shown to you and used for accuracy improvements | Yes, linked to anonymous ID |
| Voluntary feedback (thumbs, comment, teacher score) | Improve grading accuracy | Yes, anonymous — not linked to any identity |
| IP address, user-agent | Security and abuse prevention (server logs) | Retained ≤ 30 days |
| Internal staff access logs | Support, debugging, and compliance audit trail | Yes — retained for 1 year |
We share data with the following processors solely to operate the service:
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers or any other third parties.
EssaiQ is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly permit users under 13 to create an account. Users are required to provide their birth year during registration; if a user indicates they are under 13, account creation is blocked.
EssaiQ is a practice tool used directly by students and is not operated on behalf of a school or district. Essay submissions are voluntary and not linked to any school record system. We do not share student data with schools, districts, or government agencies.
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@bloomtechus.com. We will respond within 30 days.
We use session cookies for authentication only. We do not use analytics cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party advertising scripts.
All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Database access is restricted using row-level security policies. We do not store payment information. At account creation, a random anonymous ID is generated and stored separately from your email address. Essays and scores are associated only with this anonymous ID — your email is never stored alongside your essay content. This separation is an application-layer pseudonymization measure, not cryptographic anonymization.
Staff access: Authorized EssaiQ staff may access your account data (including essays and scores) for the purposes of debugging, customer support, and security investigations. All such access is authenticated, logged with a timestamp and the identity of the staff member, and retained in an audit log for one year. Access is limited to the minimum necessary to resolve the relevant issue.
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be noted at the top of this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the service after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
