Privacy Policy
At College Essay Grader, we understand that your personal statement is a deeply personal piece of writing. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure environment for your academic preparation.
1. Data Collection and Usage
- Essays and Inputs: We do not store, save, or collect the text you paste into our "Grade Essay" tool. The analysis is performed in real-time through an encrypted connection with our AI engine (Gemini 2.5 Flash) and is discarded immediately after the feedback is generated.
- Google Authentication and Account Data: If you choose to log in using Google Sign-In, we automatically receive and collect your full name and email address from Google. This data is used exclusively to create your user account, manage your access, and track your grading history within the platform.
- What We Do Not Access: We do not request, store, or have access to your Google password, financial information, phone number, photos, or any other sensitive data from your Google account.
- Usage Limits: To prevent abuse for non-logged-in users, we temporarily track your IP address to enforce our limit of 2 free analyses per 24 hours.
2. Third-Party Services
- Google OAuth 2.0: We use Google's secure authentication service to handle user sign-ins. Your credentials are processed directly by Google, ensuring your login data remains safe and never touches our servers.
- Google Gemini API: We use Google's advanced AI to provide academic feedback. Your inputs are processed according to Google’s enterprise-grade privacy standards.
- Cloudflare Turnstile: We use Cloudflare to protect our site from bots. This service may collect basic telemetry data to ensure you are a human user.
3. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption, to protect any data in transit between your browser and our server. Access to our user database is strictly restricted to administrative functions.
4. No Data Monetization
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data or your essay contents to third parties under any circumstances. Our mission is to provide an educational tool, not to monetize your information.
5. Data Deletion and Contact Us
If you have any questions regarding this policy, or if you wish to request the deletion of your account and any associated personal data (name and email), please contact us directly at: [email protected]
