This Privacy Policy explains what information Learnspaces ("Learnspaces", "we", "us") collects when you use our website and app at learnspaces.xyz (the "Service"), how we use and share it, and the choices you have. Learnspaces is a social learning platform: you create spaces for your courses, write notes together with classmates in pods, and study with Skylar, our AI study assistant.
We use your information only to provide and improve the Service:
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your content or Google user data for advertising.
Skylar is powered by Google's Gemini models. When you use Skylar, the content of the pod you have open (notes, attached files and images), your messages, and, in voice sessions, your voice audio and any screen you choose to share are sent to Google to generate a response. Skylar only reads the pod you have open, and only when you use Skylar. We do not use your content to train AI models ourselves. Google processes this data under its Gemini API terms; on the service tier we currently use, Google may use it to improve its products. Skylar can make mistakes, so please check important information.
This section describes how Learnspaces accesses, uses, stores and shares data received from Google APIs.
What we access.
classroom.courses.readonly) and the course materials in those courses, including their titles, descriptions and links to attached files (classroom.courseworkmaterials.readonly). Access is read-only. We never create, change or delete anything in your Google Classroom, and we do not access assignments, grades, student rosters or your Google Drive files.How we use it. Google Sign-In data is used only to create and identify your account. Google Classroom data is used only to do what you ask: when you choose to import, we create a space in Learnspaces for each of your courses and a pod for each course material, containing its title, description and links back to the original files. We read Classroom data only when you start an import.
How we store and protect it. Imported courses and materials are stored as spaces and pods in your Learnspaces account, in our database. To let you import again later without reconnecting, we store the Google authorization token for your Classroom connection, encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Access tokens are short-lived and are not stored.
How we share it. We do not sell Google user data or share it with third parties, except with the service providers listed in section 5 that host and run the Service for us, as needed to provide it, or where required by law. Imported spaces and pods are visible to the people you choose to add to those spaces. Google Classroom data is not sent to our AI provider unless you open an imported pod and ask Skylar about it.
Retention and deletion. You can disconnect Google Classroom at any time from Settings → Integrations. Disconnecting revokes our access with Google and deletes the stored authorization token immediately. Spaces and pods you imported stay in your account until you delete them. You can also remove Learnspaces' access at any time from your Google Account's security settings at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Deleting your Learnspaces account deletes your Classroom connection along with your account data (see section 7).
Limited Use. Learnspaces' use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use Google user data for advertising, we do not allow humans to read it except with your permission, for security purposes, or to comply with the law, and we do not use it to train AI models.
We share information only with service providers that help us run Learnspaces, and only as needed for them to provide their service to us:
Within Learnspaces, the notes and files in a space are visible to the members of that space. Your conversations with Skylar are private to you. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights, safety or property of our users or others, or as part of a merger or acquisition, in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information.
We protect your information with encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls in our database so people can only see spaces they belong to, and encryption of Google Classroom authorization tokens. No online service can be perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and will notify you if a breach affects it, as required by law.
We keep your information while your account is active. When you delete content or your account, we delete it from our systems, except where we need to keep some information to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce our agreements. Offline copies on your device are removed when you sign out.
Learnspaces is intended for people aged 16 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child under 16 has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Our service providers may process your information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version here and update the date at the top. If the changes are significant, we will let you know in the app or by email.
