Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2025 | Your Privacy is Our Priority

At IncluLearn, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of personal information collected through our inclusive learning platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we gather, use, store, and safeguard data, while aligning with our research objectives of fostering accessible, ethical, and student-centered education.

1 Information We Collect

To provide a personalized and secure learning experience, we collect the following types of information:

A. Personal Information
  • Students: Name, age, email address (for guardians), role (student/teacher/guardian), and progress metrics (e.g., quiz scores, time spent on tasks)
  • Guardians/Educators: Name, email address, contact details, and role
  • Account Credentials: Login details (username, password) and device information (browser type, IP address)
B. Usage Data
  • Interactions with platform features (e.g., text-to-speech usage, game engagement)
  • Technical data (e.g., load times, error logs) to improve performance as outlined in ISO/IEC 25010:2011 standards
C. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to:

  • Enable core functionalities (e.g., session management)
  • Analyze platform usage (e.g., Google Analytics) to refine user experience
  • Support accessibility features (e.g., remembering font preferences for dyslexic users)

2 How We Use Your Information

We process data to achieve the following goals, consistent with our research on inclusive education:

A. Core Purposes
  • Personalization: Tailor content (e.g., adaptive learning pathways) using machine learning algorithms
  • Accessibility: Adjust interfaces based on user needs (e.g., dyslexia-friendly fonts, visual numeracy aids)
  • Communication: Notify guardians/educators of student progress via reports and dashboards
  • Security: Protect accounts with encryption and secure login systems
B. Research and Improvement
  • Aggregate anonymized data to evaluate platform effectiveness (e.g., usability testing results, TAM model analysis)
  • Share findings with educators and stakeholders to inform inclusive pedagogical practices
C. Legal Compliance

Retain data only as long as necessary to fulfill educational purposes or meet legal obligations (e.g., Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012).

3 Data Security and Storage

We prioritize the safety of sensitive information, especially for minors:

  • Encryption: All personal data (e.g., passwords, student progress) is encrypted using AES-256 during transmission and storage
  • Cloud Hosting: Data is stored securely on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which complies with global security standards
  • Access Controls: Only authorized personnel (e.g., educators, guardians) can view user data
  • Third-Party Vendors: Tools like Amazon Polly (for text-to-speech) and Apache POI (for document parsing) adhere to strict data protection policies

4 Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Exceptions include:

  • Educational Partners: Schools or organizations using IncluLearn may receive anonymized performance reports
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose data if required by law or to protect our rights, safety, or property

5 Rights of Users and Guardians

Your Privacy Rights

Under Philippine data protection laws, users and guardians have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of their data or student progress reports
  • Correct: Update inaccurate information (e.g., name, email)
  • Delete: Request account deletion (we will anonymize student data upon request)
  • Opt-Out: Disable cookies or withdraw consent for non-essential data collection

  • Minimize data retention to reduce risks of misuse

7 International Data Transfers

If hosted on AWS servers outside the Philippines, data is transferred in compliance with international privacy frameworks (e.g., GDPR adequacy decisions).

8 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or research findings. Updates will be posted on the platform with a revised "Effective Date."
