5. AI Processing

Some features of our Services use artificial intelligence provided by third-party vendors (currently OpenAI) to process student work, generate grading feedback, and support instructional recommendations. When student work is submitted through these features:

  • The content is transmitted to our AI service provider for processing.
  • We do not use student-submitted content to train AI models.
  • AI-generated outputs are used to support, not replace, human instruction.

If you have questions or concerns about AI processing of your student’s work, contact us at support@ngeniusprep.com.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information, including encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), access controls, and secure hosting infrastructure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law, including the Alabama Data Breach Notification Act, which requires notification within 45 days of discovery of a breach.
