Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

I Wrote This (“IWT,” “we,” “us”) is an AI-powered authorship verification platform for educational institutions. We provide tools that help educators verify student understanding through adaptive AI interviews.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly:

• Account information: Name, email address, and password when you create an account.
• Organization information: School or institution name, department, and role when joining an organization.
• Submissions: Documents uploaded by students for authorship verification.
• Interview responses: Text and audio responses during AI interviews, including audio recordings if voice mode is used.
• Video snapshots: If camera access is granted during interviews, we capture periodic identity verification snapshots.

We automatically collect:

• Browser type, device information, and IP address for security and debugging.
• Usage patterns such as login times and feature interactions.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To provide the authorship verification service, including generating AI interview questions and assessments.
• To authenticate users and enforce role-based access controls.
• To send transactional emails (assignment reminders, interview completion notifications).
• To generate aggregate analytics for teachers and administrators (no individual student data is shared across organizations).
• To improve the quality and accuracy of our AI interview system.

4. AI Processing

Student submissions and interview responses are processed by AI models (currently Anthropic Claude) to generate interview questions and assess responses. This processing occurs in real-time during interviews. AI-generated assessments are stored alongside interview records and are visible to the student’s teacher. We do not use student data to train AI models.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We share data only:

• Within your organization — teachers see their students’ submissions and interview results.
• With service providers — Supabase (database hosting), Vercel (application hosting), Anthropic (AI processing), Resend (email delivery), Groq (speech-to-text), ElevenLabs (text-to-speech).
• When required by law or to protect safety.

6. Data Security

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Authentication is handled by Supabase Auth with row-level security policies that isolate data between organizations. We use service role keys only for administrative operations that cannot run under user credentials.

7. Student Data & FERPA

IWT operates as a “school official” under FERPA when used by educational institutions. We access student education records only to provide the contracted service. We do not use student data for advertising or any purpose unrelated to the educational service. Institutional administrators can request data export or deletion at any time.

8. Data Retention

Submission files, interview recordings, and assessment results are retained for the duration of the institutional relationship. Institutions can request deletion of all organizational data. Individual users can request deletion of their personal account and associated data by contacting us.

9. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information. You can update your profile information at any time through your dashboard. For data export or deletion requests, contact us at the address below.
