Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2, 2026

Recess AI is built for students, teachers, and parents. We take your privacy seriously — especially when children are involved. This policy explains in plain language what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights. If something isn't clear, email us at hello@recess.xyz.

1. Who We Are

Recess AI is an AI-powered tutoring platform serving K–12 students, their teachers, and their parents. We are operated by Recess AI (part of the Lunchbox EdTech family). Our platform uses artificial intelligence to provide personalized academic support.

2. What We Collect

We collect only what we need to provide the tutoring service:

  • Account information: Name, email address, and role (student, teacher, or parent).
  • Grade level: Collected at signup to personalize content difficulty. Optional.
  • IEP goals: If you choose to share Individualized Education Program goals, we store them to tailor tutoring responses. This is entirely optional and voluntary.
  • Chat transcripts: Conversations with the AI tutor are saved so you can review past sessions and so the AI can maintain context within your session.
  • Practice answers and study notes: Work you submit during practice sessions and any notes you save.
  • Usage data: Pages visited, features used, and time spent — used to improve the product. No ad tracking.

3. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used for one purpose: making Recess AI work better for you.

  • Delivering personalized AI tutoring responses tailored to your grade level and goals
  • Saving your progress so you can pick up where you left off
  • Allowing teachers and parents (where linked) to monitor student progress
  • Improving the platform based on aggregate, anonymized usage patterns
  • Communicating important account updates or safety notices

We do not sell your data. We do not use your data for advertising. Ever.

4. Third-Party Services We Use

We work with a small number of trusted vendors who process data on our behalf:

  • SupabaseDatabase and authentication

    All account data and session content is stored in Supabase, a secure cloud database provider. Supabase processes data under a Data Processing Agreement with industry-standard security controls.

  • Anthropic (Claude AI)AI tutoring responses

    When you send a message to the AI tutor, your message is transmitted to Anthropic's Claude API to generate a response. Anthropic processes this data solely to produce the tutoring response — they do not use API data to train their models by default. See Anthropic's privacy policy for full details.

We do not share your information with any other third parties except when required by law.

5Children Under 13 — COPPA Policy

Recess AI is subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent.

If a student is under 13, a parent or legal guardian must create the account and provide consent before the student uses the platform. To set up a parental consent account, email us at hello@recess.xyz.

Parents and guardians have the right to:

  • Review the personal information we have collected about their child
  • Request that we delete their child's data
  • Refuse to permit further collection or use of their child's information

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@recess.xyz.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard security practices to protect your data: encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) for all data in transit, and encrypted storage at rest via Supabase. Access to user data is restricted to authorized personnel only.

No system is 100% secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at hello@recess.xyz.

7. Data Retention

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or compliance purposes.

8. Your Rights — Data Deletion

You have the right to:

  • Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate information in your account
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Withdraw consent for optional data (e.g., IEP goals) at any time

To make any of these requests, email hello@recess.xyz with the subject line "Data Request". We will respond within 30 days.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy as the platform evolves. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by displaying a notice in the app. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
