Scholiki Privacy Policy

Effective October 4, 2026 · Last updated October 4, 2026

Scholiki Corporation (“Scholiki,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) provides an online educational platform designed to help students learn, practice, and improve their understanding of academic subjects. Scholiki provides its services both (1) through colleges, universities, learning management systems (“LMSs”), and other educational institutions, and (2) directly to students and other individual users.

We believe students should be able to learn without giving up unnecessary personal information. We therefore seek to collect only the information reasonably necessary to provide, improve, secure, and support Scholiki.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use and disclose it, and the choices available to users. Certain provisions apply differently depending on whether Scholiki is provided through an educational institution or directly to an individual user.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you access and use Scholiki, we may collect the following categories of information.

A. Account Information

When you create or use a Scholiki account, we may collect information such as:

  • Name or display name
  • Email address
  • Username or account identifier
  • Password or authentication credentials, where Scholiki provides the account authentication
  • School or educational institution, if provided
  • Course information, if provided

We encourage users not to provide personal information that is not necessary to use Scholiki.

B. Information Received From Educational Institutions

If you access Scholiki through a college, university, LMS such as Canvas, or another educational institution, Scholiki may receive information necessary to provide the authorized service. Depending on the institution and integration, this may include:

  • Ed.link person ID or other student/user identifier
  • Ed.link class ID or other course identifier
  • Student email address
  • Student display name
  • User role (for example, student or instructor)
  • Course enrollment and class section information
  • Instructor information
  • Assignment information
  • Information necessary to return grades, completion information, or other educational results to the institution

Scholiki uses Ed.link to facilitate the exchange of information between educational institutions and the Scholiki platform. Where technically and operationally feasible, Scholiki seeks to use pseudonymous or tokenized identifiers rather than directly identifying student information.

C. Learning and Activity Information

When you use Scholiki, we may collect information about your interaction with the learning platform, including:

  • Courses and topics studied
  • Homework assignments and student submissions
  • Problems attempted and answers submitted
  • Correct and incorrect responses
  • Number and type of attempts
  • Hints requested
  • Explanations, solutions, videos, or other instructional material viewed
  • Time and sequence of learning activities
  • Quiz, test, practice, and assessment responses and results
  • Progress and mastery information
  • Points, streaks, badges, achievements, and other engagement information
  • Written explanations or other content submitted as part of a learning activity
  • AI tutoring conversations
  • AI-assisted written interactions
  • AI-assisted verbal interactions
  • Learning analytics

We use this information primarily to provide the educational service, personalize the learning experience, measure progress, support instructors where applicable, and improve Scholiki.

D. Technical and Usage Information

When you access Scholiki, certain information may be collected automatically, including:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Device type
  • Operating system
  • Pages or features accessed
  • Date and time of access
  • Referring pages
  • Session information
  • Usage logs
  • Diagnostic information and error reports

We may use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, security, remembering preferences, analytics, and improving the operation of Scholiki.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information collected through Scholiki to:

  • Create and maintain user accounts
  • Deliver educational content and learning activities
  • Administer assignments, quizzes, tests, and examinations
  • Track learning progress
  • Provide AI-assisted tutoring, hints, explanations, feedback, and recommendations
  • Adapt learning activities to a student’s progress
  • Assess student understanding and generate assessments of learning or mastery
  • Award points, streaks, badges, and other achievements
  • Support instructors and educational institutions
  • Return grades or results to an educational institution when applicable
  • Maintain and improve the Scholiki platform
  • Understand how students use Scholiki and generate aggregated learning analytics
  • Develop and evaluate new educational features
  • Maintain platform security and detect fraud, abuse, security incidents, and technical problems
  • Troubleshoot technical issues
  • Communicate with users about their accounts or the service
  • Respond to support requests
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations

3. Educational Institutions and FERPA

When Scholiki provides services to a college, university, or other educational institution, certain student information may constitute an education record subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”). Where applicable, Scholiki operates as a service provider acting on behalf of the educational institution and processes such information in accordance with its agreement with that institution and applicable law.

Scholiki uses FERPA-protected education records received from educational institutions solely for authorized educational purposes and does not use those records for advertising, marketing, or unrelated commercial activities.

Students seeking to exercise rights concerning education records maintained by or on behalf of their educational institution should generally contact that institution directly. Privacy requests relating to information collected through a direct-to-student Scholiki account may be submitted to Scholiki as described in Section 12 below.

4. Artificial Intelligence

Scholiki uses or may use artificial intelligence technologies to support teaching, tutoring, assessment, explanations, hints, feedback, problem variations, grading, and personalized learning assistance. Student answers may be evaluated by automated AI systems hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) or supported by approved service providers.

Information submitted during a learning activity may be processed by Scholiki systems and by service providers that support these AI functions. AI services may analyze student responses, assignments, questions, conversations, and learning-progress information.

Scholiki does not sell student learning data to AI companies. Where third-party AI providers process information on our behalf, we seek to limit the information provided to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant function and require service providers to process information in accordance with our agreements with them.

We seek to avoid sending directly identifying student information to AI models when it is not necessary to provide the educational function. Scholiki does not knowingly use FERPA-protected education records obtained through educational institutions to train publicly available artificial intelligence models unless expressly authorized by the educational institution.

5. How We Disclose Information

Scholiki does not sell personal information or student learning data. We may disclose information in the following circumstances.

Educational Institutions

If you use Scholiki through a college, university, or other educational institution, we may provide that institution with information relating to your participation, progress, assignments, assessments, results, or other information required to provide the authorized educational service, including through Canvas or other approved systems.

Service Providers

We may use companies that provide services such as:

  • Cloud hosting and storage
  • Authentication
  • Cybersecurity and security monitoring
  • Learning management system integration
  • Artificial intelligence services
  • Analytics
  • Email and communications
  • Technical and customer support

These providers may process information only as necessary to provide services to Scholiki and subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements designed to protect the information.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, court order, subpoena, or governmental request
  • Protect the rights, property, or security of Scholiki, our users, or others
  • Investigate fraud, misuse, or security incidents
  • Enforce our agreements

Corporate Transactions

If Scholiki is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable privacy obligations and law.

6. We Do Not Sell Student Learning Data

Scholiki does not sell student learning data. We do not sell students’ problem attempts, answers, grades, mastery information, or educational activity to data brokers, and we do not use student learning data to build advertising profiles for third parties.

If Scholiki’s practices regarding advertising or data sharing materially change, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any notices or choices required by applicable law.

7. Data Minimization and De-Identified Information

Scholiki seeks to collect and retain only information reasonably necessary to provide, secure, support, and improve the service. Where appropriate, we may use pseudonymous, tokenized, aggregated, or de-identified information instead of directly identifying information.

We may use aggregated or de-identified information for purposes such as:

  • Improving instructional methods
  • Evaluating learning effectiveness
  • Developing educational features
  • Understanding common student difficulties
  • Conducting statistical analysis and research

We will not attempt to re-identify information that has been properly de-identified except where necessary to test or verify our de-identification processes or as otherwise permitted by law.

8. Analytics and Cookies

Scholiki may use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Keep users signed in and manage sessions
  • Maintain security
  • Remember preferences
  • Understand how the platform is being used
  • Diagnose technical problems
  • Improve the user experience

We may use third-party analytics providers for these purposes. Where required by applicable law, users will be provided appropriate choices regarding non-essential cookies and similar technologies. Users may also adjust browser settings to manage cookie preferences.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, fulfill contractual obligations, maintain platform operations and security, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and whether Scholiki is providing the service directly to a student or on behalf of an educational institution. For institution-provided services, retention and disposition may also be governed by the applicable institutional agreement.

When information is no longer required, it may be deleted, anonymized, returned, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Scholiki’s data-retention practices, contractual obligations, and applicable law.

10. Information Security

Scholiki maintains administrative, technical, physical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.

Security measures may include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, multi-factor authentication, authentication controls, security monitoring, audit logging, secure development practices, backup procedures, incident response procedures, and vendor security requirements.

No internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should protect their account credentials and notify Scholiki if they believe their account has been compromised.

11. Communications

We may send users service-related communications concerning accounts, security, assignments, platform changes, or other operational matters. Where permitted, we may also send educational or promotional communications to direct users.

Users may unsubscribe from promotional email communications by following the unsubscribe instructions included in those messages. Unsubscribing from promotional communications will not prevent us from sending necessary service or security communications.

12. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, applicable law, and whether Scholiki is providing the service directly to you or on behalf of an educational institution, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

  • Request access to personal information we maintain about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Request deletion of certain personal information
  • Request data portability where applicable
  • Obtain information about how we collect, use, and disclose personal information
  • Restrict or opt out of certain processing, uses, or disclosures where applicable
  • Exercise applicable privacy rights without unlawful discrimination

Some information may need to be retained for legal, security, educational-record, contractual, or other legitimate purposes. FERPA does not itself provide a right to delete accurate education records.

To submit a privacy request concerning a direct Scholiki account, contact us at contact@scholiki.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. If your Scholiki account is provided through an educational institution, requests concerning education records may need to be submitted directly to that institution.

13. California Residents

California residents may have additional rights under applicable California privacy laws. Depending on whether those laws apply to Scholiki and the information involved, these rights may include rights to know, access, correct, or delete personal information and rights relating to certain sales or sharing of personal information.

Scholiki does not discriminate against users for exercising applicable privacy rights. Requests may be submitted using the contact information in Section 18 below.

14. Children’s Privacy

Scholiki’s direct-to-student service is intended for college and university students and other users 13 years of age or older. It is not directed to children under 13, and individuals under 13 may not create a direct Scholiki account.

If we learn that we have collected personal information directly from a child under 13 in circumstances requiring parental consent without obtaining the required consent, we will take appropriate steps to delete the information. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information directly to Scholiki, please contact us at contact@scholiki.com.

Different requirements may apply when Scholiki is provided through an educational institution. Where required by law or institutional arrangement, Scholiki relies on the educational institution to obtain appropriate permissions for student participation.

15. International Users

Information may be processed and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions where Scholiki or its service providers operate. Information may therefore be transferred across national borders in accordance with applicable law.

Scholiki may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and Scholiki is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services that we do not control.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as Scholiki evolves or as legal requirements change. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date above. If changes materially affect how we use personal information, we will provide additional notice through appropriate means, including website notices or institutional notifications where applicable and as required by law.
