How Edvora uses your data to improve our AI
In plain English.
What we collect when you practise
When you answer a question, we save:
- The question
- Your answer
- Whether it was correct
- How long you took
- Which topic it was
We also save a random ID so we can show you your progress. That ID is not your name or email.
Why we collect it
To help you learn (always)
So we can show you questions that match where you're at, keep your progress, and let your parent see how you're going.
To train our AI (only if you opt in)
Edvora is building an AI that's very good at understanding why students get things wrong — not just that they got it wrong. To do that, we need examples of real student answers. You can help by letting us use your wrong answers in our training data.
Once trained, the resulting fine-tuned model will power the Edvora platform, including both the free research program and the paid subscription tiers. Until then, the platform uses a foundation-model prompting pipeline (Groq, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude) with our misconception taxonomy supplied in-context.
What goes in the training data
- The question
- Your answer
- The correct answer
- Which topic and year level
What never goes in the training data
- Your name
- Your email
- Your school
- Any free text you write (we do not collect free-text reasoning — only the pre-written chip buttons)
- Anything that would let someone figure out who you are
How anonymisation actually works
Your account and your training contributions are in different parts of our database. The link between them is a random pseudonym ID. When you delete your account or withdraw consent, the link is severed. After that, even we can no longer tell which contributions were yours.
Your choice
- You choose whether to help us train our AI when you create your account.
- You can change your mind any time in Settings → Privacy.
- If you say yes, you get full platform access free while you're helping us.
- If you say no, you can still use Edvora — there's a standard paid plan at $19/month.
Under 16?
A parent or legal guardian must create the account. Parents decide on AI training consent on behalf of the child. Both can be withdrawn any time.
Your rights
You can always:
- See everything we have about you (Settings → Privacy → Download my data)
- Change or delete it
- Ask us to stop using it for AI training
- Close your account entirely
Email support@edvora.com.au or use the Settings page.
Which AI providers we use
When we generate an explanation or classify a misconception we may send the question and your answer (no identifying information) to:
- Groq (primary, for speed)
- Google Gemini (fallback)
- Anthropic Claude (fallback)
These are industry-standard AI inference providers. Their contractual terms prevent them from using the data we send them to train their own models.
