Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 7, 2026 · Version: 2026-10-08
CompPrep AI ("CompPrep AI," "we," "us") is run by CompPrep AI, based in Texas. This policy explains what information we collect, why, who sees it, and how you control it. We wrote it to be read by students, parents, and advisors, not just lawyers.
The short version
- We collect only what the app needs to work: your name, grade, school, the chapters you join, and your practice activity.
- We never sell your information, show you ads, or use it to target ads.
- We never use your practice answers, recordings, or transcripts to train AI models.
- CompPrep AI is for people 13 and older. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 13.
- You can download or delete your data anytime from Profile in the app.
1. Who this applies to
This policy covers the CompPrep AI mobile apps, the website at compprep.app, and the advisor portal (together, the "Service").
2. Information we collect
Information you give us
| What | Why | Who can see it |
|---|---|---|
| Email address (from Google or Apple sign-in, or the one you sign up with) | To create and secure your account, and send account emails | Only you and us |
| Your state and district or area, if you set them | To show the right competition dates | Only you and us (chapter members use their chapter’s setting) |
| Practice answers, test scores and flashcard progress | To show your progress, weak topics and streak | You (and chapter staff only if a feature says so) |
| Questions you report as wrong | So we can fix them | Only us |
| Competition results you log | Your private record of how competitions went | You and your chapter’s advisors |
| Password, if you sign up with email | To sign you in. Stored only as a secure one-way hash by our sign-in provider; nobody, including us, can read it | No one |
| First and last name | So your chapter knows who you are | Your chapter: members see your first name and last initial; board members and advisors see your full name |
| Grade (or "not a student") | To tailor practice content | You, your chapter's board members and advisors |
| School (optional) | To help advisors confirm you belong in their chapter | You and us |
| Contact email (optional, board members and advisors only) | So members can reach their officers | Members of chapters where you're on the board or an advisor |
| Chapter memberships, role, and board title | To run chapter features | Your chapter |
| Practice activity: answers, scores, written responses, and AI judge transcripts | To score your practice and show your progress | You; your chapter's board members and advisors see scores and activity, not transcripts, unless you share them |
| Your main event in each organization | To set up your practice | You; your chapter's board members and advisors (for the event roster) |
| Meeting check-ins | To take attendance | You, your chapter's board members and advisors |
| Chapter points and the reason for each award | To run your chapter's points and leaderboard | You see your own points and reasons. Your chapter sees your total on the leaderboard, with your name or as "Member" if you hide it; board members and advisors always see names |
| Announcements and files officers post (images and PDFs) | To share chapter news | Members of that chapter only. We count how many members have seen each post, not who |
| Project tracker steps and due dates | To plan your project | Only you |
| Skills checklists the AI writes for you | Practice | Only you; they aren't saved |
| Your daily study plan and which steps you checked off | To suggest what to practice today | Only you |
| Lessons you finish, your XP, level and readiness score | To show your progress | Only you (chapter challenges show chapter totals, not individuals) |
| Ambassador code, school and chapters you referred | To run the ambassador program | You; the ambassador board shows your first name, last initial, school and count |
| Student plan status, or your choice on the plan waitlist | To give you the plan's limits, or tell you when it opens | Only you and us |
| Written entry text you paste for feedback | To check it and give feedback | Sent to the AI provider to make the feedback; not saved by us |
| Volunteer sign-ups | So officers know who's coming and can give points | Your chapter (members see first name and last initial) |
| Competition to-do items you check off | So officers know who has turned in forms and fees | You, your chapter's board members and advisors |
| Feedback you send in the app | To fix problems and improve the app | Only us |
| Notification settings, and a device address if you turn on notifications | To send the notifications you chose | Only us and the push service your browser uses (see below) |
| Messages you send to support or through in-app feedback, including an optional screenshot, a reply email you choose, and the screen you were on | To fix problems and answer you | Us |
Your birth month and year. We ask once, during sign-up, to confirm you're 13 or older. We do not store it.
Notifications. If you turn on notifications, your browser gives us a device address and keys. We use them only to send the alerts you picked (announcements, check-in, streak reminders, competition countdowns), through your browser maker's push service (for example Google for Chrome, Apple for Safari, Mozilla for Firefox). Turn them off anytime in Profile. Advisors also get a weekly summary email about their chapter, which they can turn off in Profile or from the email.
Weekly recap. On Sunday evenings we email students who practiced a summary of their week. Turn it off in Profile or from the email.
Reminder emails and calendar links. We email reminders a week and a day before your official competition dates. Every reminder has a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can turn them off in your Profile. Your phone calendar link is private to you; anyone with it can see your competition dates and chapter events, so you can make a new link anytime.
Voice practice. When you practice out loud with the AI judge on the web, your browser's built-in speech recognition turns your voice into text (for example, Chrome uses Google's speech service and Safari uses Apple's, under their own privacy terms). CompPrep AI never receives or stores your audio, only the text. You can always type instead. We keep the transcript so you can review feedback, until you delete it or your account. AI coach conversations are not saved on our servers; they stay on your device until you leave the screen.
Information collected automatically
- Crash reports: device model, operating system version, app version, and what went wrong, so we can fix bugs. These are not linked to advertising.
- Basic security logs: IP address and timestamps when you sign in or call our servers, kept up to 30 days to prevent abuse.
- AI usage records: which AI feature you used, when, and how much text it processed (not what you wrote), so we can keep costs and daily limits in check.
What we don't collect: precise or approximate location, contacts, photos, advertising identifiers, browsing history in other apps, or your birthday.
3. How we use information
We use information only to:
- Provide the Service: accounts, chapters, attendance, points, announcements, practice tools, and AI feedback.
- Keep the Service safe: verify advisors, prevent abuse, and investigate problems.
- Improve the Service, using aggregated or de-identified statistics (for example, "40% of questions in this topic are answered wrong").
- Communicate with you: account and security emails, and product news only if you opt in.
- Follow the law.
We don't sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or build advertising profiles. We don't use your content to train AI models.
4. AI features
Practice questions, AI coach answers, and AI judge feedback are produced by Claude, an AI model provided by Anthropic through its commercial API. To generate feedback, we send the provider the question or scenario, your written response or transcript, and your event, but not your name or email. Anthropic does not use inputs or outputs from its commercial API to train its models by default, and we never opt in to sharing your content with them for training.
AI feedback can be wrong. It is practice help, not an official score, and it does not predict how real judges will score you.
5. Who we share information with
- Your chapter, as described in the table above.
- Service providers that run parts of the Service for us, under contracts that limit their use of your data to providing that service:
| Provider | What they do | Data they handle |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Database, sign-in, hosting | Account, profile, chapter and practice data |
| Anthropic | Questions, coaching, judge feedback | Practice content and transcripts (no name or email) |
| Your browser's speech service (e.g. Google in Chrome, Apple in Safari) | Turns your voice into text when you choose to speak | Audio, handled by your browser's provider; never sent to us |
| Crash reporting provider (named here before it is used) | Crash reports | Device and app details |
| Email sending provider (named here before it is used) | Account emails and opted-in news | Email address, name |
| Stripe | Payments for chapter plans, Pro and boosts | Name, email, and payment details entered on Stripe's checkout page (we never see full card numbers) |
| Google and Apple | Sign-in | Whatever you've allowed them to share |
| Your browser's push service (e.g. Google, Apple, Mozilla) | Delivers notifications you turned on | A device address and the notification's text |
| Resend | Sends account emails (confirm your email, reset your password) and competition reminder emails | Your email address, first name and the email's contents |
- Legal reasons: when required by law, or to protect someone's safety.
- Business transfer: if the company is sold or merged, your information would stay protected by this policy, and we'd notify you first.
6. Students, parents, and schools
Under 13: CompPrep AI is not for children under 13. Our sign-up screen blocks anyone who enters an age under 13 and deletes their sign-in record. If we learn we have information from a child under 13, we delete it. Parents who believe this has happened can email privacy@compprep.app.
Teens 13–17: Parents and guardians can ask to review, correct, or delete their teen's information by emailing privacy@compprep.app from their own email. We'll verify the request before acting.
Schools: When a school or district signs an agreement with us, we process student information on the school's behalf, for the school's educational purposes only. In that case we act as a "school official" under FERPA, and the school controls the records. We will sign a student data privacy agreement on request.
App stores: Where the law requires (for example, Texas), we use the age and parental-consent information provided by the Apple App Store or Google Play only to apply age-appropriate settings and to comply with the law.
7. How long we keep information
| Data | How long |
|---|---|
| Account and profile | Until you delete your account |
| Practice transcripts | Until you delete them or your account |
| Voice audio | Never received or stored by us |
| Accounts with no sign-in for 24 months | Deleted, with a warning email 30 days before |
| Backups | Overwritten within 30 days |
| Security logs | Up to 30 days |
| AI usage records | Up to 13 months, then deleted or made anonymous |
| Feedback and screenshots | Until the issue is resolved and no longer needed, at most 2 years |
| Chapter audit logs (who changed roles or points) | Kept with the chapter; your user ID is removed when you delete your account |
| Points, check-ins and project steps | Until you delete your account or the chapter is deleted. Resetting the leaderboard keeps the history for advisors |
| Announcements and attached files | Until an officer deletes them or the chapter is deleted |
| Daily study plans | Until you delete your account |
| Feedback you send | Until you delete your account (your name is removed from it then) |
| Notification device addresses | Until you turn notifications off, the device stops accepting them, or you delete your account |
| Invoices for school plans | 7 years, as tax law requires |
8. Your choices and rights
In the app, under Profile, you can:
- Edit your name, school, and contact email.
- Download a copy of your data.
- Turn product emails on or off. Every marketing email also has an unsubscribe link.
- Delete your account. Deletion is immediate in our live systems; backups are cleared within 30 days.
You can also email privacy@compprep.app to access, correct, delete, or get a copy of your information, or to appeal a decision we made about your request. We respond within 45 days. Depending on where you live (including Texas, California, and other states with privacy laws), you may have additional rights; we honor them for everyone. We won't treat you differently for using your privacy rights.
9. Security
We use encryption in transit, database rules that limit each person to the data their role allows, and access logging. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects your information, we'll notify you and anyone else the law requires.
10. Changes
If we make a material change, we'll tell you in the app and ask you to review it before you continue. The version and effective date are at the top of this page.
