What we hold, why, and how to have it removed.

1The short version

We collect what the service needs to work and nothing we cannot justify to a parent. We do not sell data, we do not run advertising, and we do not build profiles for anyone else.

The one thing to understand before a class uses Juror: the arguments you write are sent to an AI provider so the opponent can answer and the score can be produced. Do not put personal information into an argument. Section 4 says who that provider is.

2What we collect

What you give us. Your email address, your name, a password (stored only as a bcrypt hash, never as text), the role you choose, the level you set, and a profile picture if you upload one.

What you write. Your debate arguments, closing statements, case briefs and assignment submissions; your messages to the coach; and scenarios you generate.

What the service produces about you. Scores and written feedback on your arguments, progress records, XP, level, streaks and achievements, and which amendments and cases you have opened.

Class membership. Which classes you have joined, which assignments you were set, and what you submitted for them.

Operational records. A log of significant account actions such as registration, password and email changes, and plan changes. These entries include an IP address and browser user agent, because a security log that cannot tell you where a change came from is not much use. We also record events like "a debate was started" to understand how the app is used.

We do not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics trackers. The only cookie we set is the one that keeps you signed in.

3Why we hold it

• To run the service: sign you in, run debates, produce scores.
• To show your teacher your work, where you have joined their class with a join code.
• To keep the service secure and to investigate misuse of an account.
• To send the emails described in section 6, which you can turn off.
• To understand which parts of the app are used, in aggregate, so it can be improved.

4Who else sees it

Your teacher, for any class you join, sees your name, your email, your submissions in full, your scores and the transcripts behind them.

The AI provider. Text you write in a debate, a submission or a coach message is sent to a large language model provider so the response can be generated. We send the text of the exchange and no account identifiers beyond what is needed to make the request. Their handling of that text is governed by their own terms. This is why you should not write personal information into an argument.

Our email provider receives your email address and the content of the message being sent to you.

Our infrastructure providers handle traffic to the site and see the usual technical connection details.

We will also disclose information where the law requires it, or where it is necessary to protect someone from harm. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for anyone else's marketing.

5Students and children

Juror is intended for people aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from a child under 13 who has registered on their own. If we learn that we have, we delete the account and its contents.

Where a school uses Juror with students under 13, the school is responsible for obtaining the consent required in its jurisdiction, and by enrolling students it confirms that it has. In that arrangement the school directs what happens to student data and we act on its instructions.

Parents and guardians may ask what we hold about their child, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted, by writing to [email protected]. If the account was created through a school, contact the school as well, since it holds the record of consent.

Student work is never used for advertising, never sold, and never published.

6Email we send

One welcome message when an account is created, notices when something changes on your account, and practice reminders. Reminders are capped: no address receives more than three messages from us in a day.

You can turn practice reminders off at any time from your account page, or from the link at the foot of any reminder. Notices about your own account are not marketing and are sent regardless of that setting.

7How long we keep it

Account information and your work are kept while your account is open. When an account is deleted, its debates, submissions, coach conversations and profile are deleted with it.

Security and audit records are kept for up to twelve months, because their purpose is to be able to look back at a compromised account. Aggregate usage counts that identify nobody may be kept longer.

8Your rights

You can see and change your name, email, password and picture yourself on the profile page. For anything else, write to [email protected] and we will:

• tell you what we hold about you;
• correct it if it is wrong;
• delete your account and its contents;
• send you a copy of your work.

We aim to answer within 30 days. Depending on where you live you may have further rights under laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA; we apply the above to everyone rather than only where it is compulsory.

9Security

Traffic to the site is encrypted. Passwords are stored as bcrypt hashes, so nobody at our end can read them. Access to the server is restricted. No service can promise it will never be breached; if a breach affects your information, we will tell you and the school, and explain what happened.

10Changes to this policy

When this policy changes materially we will update the effective date and ask you to accept the revised terms the next time you sign in. Past versions are available on request.
