Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026 · Who we are: AI Glassbox™ is a product of SenSym, LLC (“SenSym,” “we,” “us”).

AI Glassbox is built for children in roughly grades 4–8, so we designed it to need almost no data at all. Most of our privacy protection isn’t a promise we make — it is a capability we simply left out. This page explains, in plain language, exactly what does and does not happen with information when you use the platform.

The short version

• No student data ever leaves the browser. All code a child writes, runs, and trains happens entirely on their own device. We never see it and never store it.
• Synthetic data only. Datasets are generated from parameters, not collected from real people. There is no way to upload a file or paste in a dataset.
• We collect no personal information to learn. You can use the simulations and run the Studio with no account at all.
• No ads, no tracking, no third-party advertising cookies, no selling of data. Ever.
• No chat or messaging. Children cannot send messages to each other or to us through the platform.

What we do and do not collect

To browse and learn: nothing. Opening a simulation, reading a lesson, or running code in the Studio requires no account and stores no personal data about you.

An optional account to save work: if you choose to save a project, an account is just a username and a password. We do not ask for a real name, an email address, an age, a school, or a location. The username is your choice and is screened by our rule-based moderation before it can ever be shown to anyone else.

Projects you save: the Spectra code of a saved project is stored so you can return to it. A project stays private unless you choose to deploy it to the public Gallery, in which case its title, description, and code become viewable by others (see “Public content”).

Basic operational logs: like any website, our hosting provider may process standard request information (such as an IP address) momentarily to deliver pages and to protect the service from abuse. We do not use this to build advertising profiles, and we do not combine it with a child’s learning activity.

The one bounded exception: the optional Capstone certificate

Learning is always free. Families who choose the optional $10 Capstone Defense get a certificate, and this is the only place the platform handles anything resembling contact information — and even here it is minimized by design:

• We never store a child’s name. The certificate is personalized on your own device; the name is never transmitted to or kept by us.
• A parent’s email is stored only as a one-way salted hash — a scrambled fingerprint used to let a family recover their certificate later. We cannot read the original email back from it.
• We keep an achievement-only record (that a certificate was issued, when, and against which rubric version) so a certificate can be verified by ID. Verification shows no name.
• Payments for the Capstone are handled by our payment processor (Square). Square collects the payment details directly under its own privacy policy; we do not receive or store card numbers.

Public content (the Gallery)

If you deploy a project, its title, description, and code become public so other learners can try it. Before anything public is shown, the title, description, and the author’s username are screened by deterministic, rule-based moderation — no AI judges children. Please don’t put personal information (real names, addresses, phone numbers, links) into a title or description; our filters try to catch these, but the simplest protection is not to include them.

Donations

If you choose to make a voluntary donation to support this free platform, the payment is handled by our payment processor (Square) under its own privacy policy. A donation is never required to learn, and we never paywall a lesson.

How we protect children’s privacy (COPPA)

Because AI Glassbox is intended for children, we follow the spirit and the rules of the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Our approach is to collect no personal information from a child in the ordinary course of learning. The only data tied to a person — the salted-hash of a parent’s email for the optional certificate — is provided by a parent or guardian, for a purpose they chose, and is minimized as described above. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us and you would like it removed, contact us and we will delete it.

Cookies and storage

We use only what is needed to make the site work — for example, keeping you signed in during a session, or remembering a dataset you generated locally. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Sharing

We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not share it for advertising. We use a small number of service providers strictly to operate the platform — our hosting provider, and our payment processor for the optional Capstone and donations — each acting under its own privacy terms. We may disclose information if required by law.

Changes & contact

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page. Questions, or a request to delete data tied to your family’s certificate? Email hello@sensym.ai. See also our Terms of Use and the plain-language About & Safety page.
