Privacy Policy

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

This hosted deployment is operated by Truth Computing, Inc.. To provide the Service we process:

• The AI tutor on course pages runs in your browser. The model runs on your own device, and your questions and its replies stay there; they are not sent to our server. The only exception is the model download: the first time you start it, your browser downloads the model files (about 1 GB) from Hugging Face and the model runtime from GitHub. Those services see your IP address and standard request data, never your questions.
• 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 mtorre@truth-computing.com.

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.

Truth Academy interest forms and marketing pages

Optional program, updates, school, community, Leadership Program interest, and waitlist forms are separate from the account-free Feynman learning tool. We collect only the fields you submit and your permission to follow up. Local program inquiries must be completed by a parent or guardian. The waitlist is for ages 13 and up; younger students should ask a parent or guardian to contact us.

The Leadership Program interest form (for expressing interest, suggesting a student, or offering to mentor, speak, or sponsor a community project) is also for ages 13 and up. Students under 18 are asked to have a parent or guardian aware that they are reaching out. Submitting it does not start an application or reserve a place. If the program later invites a student under 18 to take part, that student’s details are collected only through a parent or guardian consent process.

When forms are enabled, submissions are sent through Resend to the operator’s inbox so the team can reply. No account or learner profile is created. Please do not include children’s names, records, or sensitive details. Technical request information is processed for spam prevention and rate limiting.

When enabled, Vercel Web Analytics records visits and actions only on the Academy homepage, programs, partner, and community pages, and the public Leadership Program pages (overview, pilot, pathway, and selection and interest). Learning routes have no analytics. Form names, email addresses, messages, and campaign query strings are not included in analytics events. Marketing analytics are separate from any staff-led pilot evaluation.

You can request access or deletion, or ask to stop program updates, by contacting mtorre@truth-computing.com. [Operator: confirm inquiry retention, deletion procedures, provider agreements, guardian consent wording, and applicable review before enabling collection.]
