Privacy Policy
The short version
- The Quollyo app reads your Google Classroom classes and assignments read-only. It can never submit, change or delete your work.
- Your study data (plans, tasks, notes, flashcards and practice results) is kept on your own device, in your browser. Quollyo does not keep a copy on its servers. Signing out erases it.
- To join The Q List, our early-access list, we collect your email address, whether you're a student, parent or teacher, and your age confirmation.
- We never sell your information, never show ads based on it, and never use your Google data to train general-purpose AI models.
- Quollyo is for students 13 and older. You can ask us to delete your information at any time by emailing hello@quollyo.com.
1. Who we are
Quollyo ("Quollyo," "we," "us") is a study planner and study companion for students who use Google Classroom. This policy explains what information we collect through quollyo.com, The Q List (our early-access list) and our emails (the "Website"), and through the Quollyo app at quollyo.com/app, which is now in beta (the "App"). Together, these are the "Services." Quollyo is an independently developed product. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Google LLC, Microsoft Corporation or any other company whose products Quollyo works with. This policy covers only how Quollyo handles your information. Google, Microsoft and other platforms have their own privacy policies for their own services.
Questions? Email hello@quollyo.com or write to Quollyo, 375 West Main St., #536, Huntington, NY 11743.
2. The Q List and our emails
When you join The Q List, we collect:
- Your email address, whether you're a student, parent or guardian, or teacher or school staff, and your confirmation that you are 13 or older, when you join The Q List. We use your answer to send emails that fit you, like separate updates for students and parents.
- Referral information: who referred you, how many people joined with your link, and any referral rewards you've earned.
- Email activity: whether you open our emails or click their links, so we know whether our emails are useful.
- Basic technical information that any website receives, like your IP address, browser type and the page that sent you to us. Our hosting provider and email provider collect this to run and protect their services.
We use this information only to run The Q List, send you updates about Quollyo, deliver referral rewards and protect against spam. You can unsubscribe from any email using the link at the bottom.
3. The App
Where your App information is kept. The App runs in your web browser. Your Google Classroom information and everything you add are stored in your browser's local storage on the device you use. Quollyo does not have a database of your study data and does not keep a copy on its servers. If you use Quollyo on two devices, each keeps its own copy. Signing out of Quollyo erases this information from that device and ends Quollyo's access to your Google account. Clearing your browser's site data also erases it.
Some features need to send information to Quollyo's server functions, which run on Netlify and keep nothing after they answer: the AI study features (section 5) and paid plans (Payments, below).
Your Google account
When you sign in with Google, the App receives your name, email address and profile picture so it can show who is signed in and, if you choose a paid plan, link that plan to your account.
Your Google Classroom information (read-only)
If you choose to connect Google Classroom, Quollyo asks Google for read-only access to:
| What we read | Why we need it |
|---|---|
| Your class list (class names and sections) | To organize your assignments by class |
| Your assignments, due dates and your teachers' instructions | To show what's due, plan your study time, spot upcoming tests and, if you ask, make practice questions |
| Whether your own work is turned in, missing or late | To track what's left to do |
Quollyo cannot turn in, edit or delete anything in Google Classroom, and it never sees your classmates' work. It does not read class announcements, class materials, grades or your classmates' names. You can disconnect at any time by signing out of Quollyo or from your Google account settings.
Information you add
Your own tasks, time estimates, check-offs, tonight's plan, test-prep plans, notes you paste in, questions you ask Quollyo, and your practice results, including the review deck of questions you missed and flashcards you're still learning. These stay on your device as described above.
Payments
If you or a parent buy a paid plan, the payment is handled by Stripe. Quollyo's billing function sends Stripe the student's Google email address so the subscription is linked to the right account, and asks Stripe which plan that email has. Stripe collects the payer's name, email, card details and billing address on its own secure page. Quollyo receives only the plan, its status and its renewal date, and does not store them. Stripe keeps the billing records. Quollyo never sees or stores full card numbers.
4. How we use Google user data
Quollyo's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. In particular:
- We use Google user data only to provide and improve the features you see in Quollyo.
- We do not sell Google user data, and we do not use it for advertising, including personalized or retargeted ads.
- We do not transfer Google user data to others, except as needed to provide the Services (for example, to the cloud and AI service providers described below), to comply with the law, or as part of a merger or acquisition with notice to you.
- We do not allow humans to read Google user data unless you give us permission (for example, when you ask for support), it's needed for security or legal reasons, or the data has been aggregated and anonymized for internal operations.
- We do not use Google user data to develop, improve or train generalized or non-personalized AI or machine-learning models.
5. AI features
Quollyo's optional study features (flashcards, true/false and multiple-choice review, and study help) use artificial intelligence. When you use them, Quollyo sends only what you're studying to our AI provider, Anthropic (the Claude API), through Quollyo's server function: the assignment title and your teacher's instructions, any notes you paste in, your questions, and the recent messages in that study conversation.
- Quollyo does not store or log this information on its servers. The results are shown in your browser and saved only on your device.
- Anthropic processes it to provide the service to Quollyo. Under Anthropic's commercial terms, data sent through its API is not used to train its models.
- AI study features require signing in with Google, and they never change anything in Google Classroom.
Quollyo is designed to help you learn, not to do your work for you. It gives hints before answers and will not write essays or answer questions during tests.
6. Who we share information with
We share information only with companies that help us run Quollyo, under agreements that limit how they can use it:
- beehiiv: Q List sign-ups and emails.
- Netlify: website and App hosting, and the server functions for AI study features and billing.
- Anthropic: AI processing for the optional study features (see section 5).
- Stripe: payments, subscriptions, receipts and the billing page for paid plans (see section 3).
- Google: sign-in, the Classroom connection, and fonts used on our website.
- Any additional providers we add will be listed here before we use them.
We may also share information if the law requires it, to protect the safety of our users or others, or if Quollyo is merged or acquired (in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information).
We do not sell or rent personal information, and we do not use it for targeted advertising.
7. Students, children and parents
- Quollyo is only for students 13 and older. Children under 13 may not use the App or join The Q List. Students under 18 should have a parent's or guardian's permission to use Quollyo.
- We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us information, email hello@quollyo.com and we will delete it.
- If Quollyo later supports younger students, we will update this policy and get the consent the law requires (from a parent or the child's school) first.
- Parents and guardians can ask to see, correct or delete their child's information by emailing us.
8. Schools
If a school or district contracts with Quollyo, we will handle student education records as a "school official" under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), under the school's direction, and as required by applicable state student-privacy laws. We will sign the school's data privacy agreement where appropriate. New York schools: see Student Data Privacy for New York Schools for our Education Law §2-d commitments and supplemental information.
9. How long we keep information
- Q List information: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, or until we stop running The Q List.
- App information: on your device until you sign out of Quollyo or clear your browser's site data. Quollyo does not keep a copy on its servers.
- AI study requests: not kept. Our server function passes them to Anthropic and keeps nothing after it answers.
- Billing records: kept by Stripe for as long as needed to run your subscription and meet tax and accounting laws.
10. Your choices and rights
- Unsubscribe from emails using the link at the bottom of any email.
- Erase your App data by signing out of Quollyo on each device you use.
- Disconnect Google at any time by signing out of Quollyo or from your Google account connections.
- See, correct or delete your information by emailing hello@quollyo.com. We'll respond within 30 days. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights, and we will honor them.
11. Security
We protect information with encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls and trusted service providers. No system is perfectly secure, but if a breach affects your information, we will notify you and any affected schools as the law requires.
12. Changes to this policy
We'll update this policy whenever our practices change, including before we add new features that collect information in a new way. If a change is significant, we'll email you before it takes effect. The effective date at the top always shows the latest version.
