Feynman

Privacy Policy

Effective June 22, 2026

Template - review required. This document is a starting template generated for this deployment. It is not legal advice and must be reviewed and completed by qualified counsel for your jurisdiction and business before you rely on it.

This policy explains what Feynman does and does not collect. What is true depends on how this instance is deployed; this page reflects the hosted mode of this deployment.

Hosted deployment: what is processed

In this hosted deployment, the tutor runs on a server operated by the operator of this deployment. To provide the Service we process:

  • Your messages to the tutor, which are sent to the server to generate a reply. They are processed transiently to produce your answer.
  • Limited technical data, including your IP address (used to rate-limit and protect the Service) and standard request logs.
  • Opt-in web-search queries: only when you choose “Search the web,” your query is sent to an external search service to retrieve academic sources.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell personal information.
  • We do not use your messages to serve advertising or to profile you.
  • We do not require an account to use the tutor.

Retention

Messages are processed transiently and are not retained as a profile. Operational logs are kept only as long as needed for security and reliability. [Operator to state the exact retention period and any training-data use - the default is no training on user content.]

Your rights

Depending on where you live (e.g., under GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, or similar laws), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information, and to object to certain processing. To exercise them, contact [set FEYNMAN_OPERATOR_CONTACT].

Children's privacy

Feynman's lessons are designed for a K-12 audience, so children may use it. We minimize data by design: no accounts and no behavioral tracking. Where a school deploys Feynman, the school directs the processing of student data and acts as the responsible party (for example, providing any consent required under COPPA, FERPA, and applicable state student-privacy laws) under a written agreement. We process student data only to provide the Service to the school.

Safety

Feynman screens messages for high-severity safety categories (such as self-harm) to keep the tutor age-appropriate. If a self-harm signal is detected, the tutor shows crisis resources (including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the US) instead of a normal reply. Safety screening is automated and may not catch every case; it is not a substitute for a trusted adult or professional help.
