Privacy Policy for Students

Draft — not yet reviewed by counsel. This is a plain-English draft for informational purposes and is not legal advice.

This policy explains what information Dissemi collects about you as a Student, why, how long we keep it and what choices you have. Dissemi is operated by Dissemi [legal entity — to be formed]. It applies to the Dissemi website and is read together with our Terms of Service for Students. If you also tutor on Dissemi, the Privacy Policy for Tutors covers that side.

What we collect

• Account. The email address you sign up with and a sign-in identifier from our sign-in provider.
• Student Profile. Your name, photo, bio and preferred language.
• Requests. What you tell the Guide: the subject, topic, level and language you need help with, plus the price shown to you, the status of the Request and any cancellation fee recorded if you cancel after the free window. While a Request is waiting, your device tells us regularly that you are still there.
• Attachments you add to a Request to show what you are stuck on. We keep the file, plus its name, type and size.
• Sessions. The Tutor, the subject, topic, level and language, the start and end times and the length of the Session. We also keep the technical details needed to open the video room for your Call.
• Chat messages sent during a Session. They belong to that Session.
• Ratings you give and receive after a Session, with any comment, and your Stars and Standing.
• Terms Acceptances. Which version of the Terms and the Privacy Policy you agreed to, and when.
• Usage data. We use Google Analytics to understand how the product is used. It receives an opaque user id (your sign-in identifier, not your name or email) and whether you are using the Student or the Tutor side. We never send your name, email, topics, chat messages, file names or other free text to it.

We do not record Sessions, and we do not collect payment card details today.

How we collect it

You give us most of this yourself when you sign up, build a Profile, answer the Guide or use a Session. Some is collected automatically through cookies and Google Analytics.

Why we use it

• To run the service: sign you in, match your Request with a Tutor, hold Sessions and calculate prices.
• To show the Tutor of a Session who you are and what you need: they see your name, photo, Request and Attachments.
• To run ratings, Stars and Standing, which set matching priority.
• To keep Dissemi safe: prevent misuse and enforce our Terms.
• To improve the product through usage analytics.
• To keep a record of what you agreed to, and to meet legal obligations.

How long we keep it

• Attachments: the file is deleted about 2 days after it is added (an automatic storage rule, which can run up to about a day late). A record of the file's name, type and size stays with the Request until you ask us to delete your Account. Links to open an Attachment expire after 15 minutes.
• Chat messages, Requests, Sessions, ratings and Profiles are kept until you ask us to delete your Account.
• Terms Acceptances are kept as the record of what you agreed to.

Who we share it with

We do not sell personal information. We share it only with the Tutor of your Session, as described above, and with the services that help us run Dissemi:

• Firebase and Google, for sign-in.
• Daily, for live video and audio in Calls.
• Google Analytics, for usage analytics.
• Google Cloud, for hosting and storage.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it.

Cookies

Dissemi sets one essential cookie, __session. It holds your signed-in session: who you are, which Profile is active and which Terms version you accepted. It lasts 7 days and Dissemi cannot work without it.

Google Analytics also sets cookies to measure usage. See the next section for how to turn analytics off.

Your privacy choices

• Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal, Dissemi turns analytics off for you.
• Copy or deletion. To get a copy of your data, or to ask us to delete it and your Account, email erickdesantiago11@gmail.com. There is no in-app deletion yet.
• You can also correct your Profile at any time in the product.

Security

We protect data with encrypted connections and limit who can access it. No system is perfectly secure.

Children

Dissemi is for people 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and we will delete it if we learn we have.

Changes to this policy

When we publish a new version, you must accept it again before you continue. We never interrupt a live Call to ask.
