- Google Access Scope: We only request access to your basic profile information (email, name, profile picture).

4. Data Storage and International Transfers
Lambdio is a business registered in Georgia. However, our technical infrastructure is located within the European Union to ensure high standards of data privacy and security.
- Database Storage: Your personal data and learning progress are stored on MongoDB Atlas servers located in Stockholm, Sweden (AWS eu-north-1).
- Backend Processing: Our API and application logic are hosted on Render in Frankfurt, Germany (EU Central).
- Content Delivery: Our frontend is delivered via Vercel, which utilizes a global Content Delivery Network (CDN) to ensure fast access. While Vercel processes requests globally, it does not persistently store your personal data.
By using our service, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to—and maintained on—computers located outside of your state, province, or country. However, we ensure that all major data storage and processing activities occur within jurisdictions that adhere to strict data protection standards (GDPR).
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

Third-Party AI Services (DeepSeek)
Lambdio uses a third-party AI service provider, DeepSeek (accessible via api.deepseek.com, operated by Hangzhou DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Co., Ltd. and its affiliates), to generate the AI tutoring conversations, quizzes, review sessions, and open-ended grading used by the platform. DeepSeek acts as a data processor on our behalf.
What is shared: When you use AI features, the following is transmitted to DeepSeek to generate a response: the course content you are studying, your tutoring conversation messages and answers, your quiz responses, and — if you have filled them in — your learning preferences (academic level, major, hobbies). We do not send your name, email address, or password to DeepSeek.
Why and how it is used: This data is used solely to produce the personalized tutoring experience you request (generating explanations, questions, feedback, and study plans). We do not use DeepSeek to advertise to you.
Your consent: The Lambdio mobile app shows an in-app consent screen before any of this data is first shared with DeepSeek, and it identifies what is sent and to whom. You can revoke your consent at any time from Account → Settings ("AI Features & Data"), which disables AI features. Revoking consent does not delete data already lawfully processed.
Protections: We rely on DeepSeek to provide safeguards that are the same or equal to the protections described in this policy. DeepSeek processes the data only to provide the AI features, does not sell it, and retains it only as required to provide the service and comply with its own legal obligations. Please review DeepSeek's privacy policy for further details on its processing and retention practices.
6. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information:
- Encryption: Passwords are hashed using bcrypt before storage.
- Secure Transmission: All data is transmitted via SSL/TLS (HTTPS) encryption.
- Secure Cookies: Authentication tokens are stored in Secure, HTTP-Only cookies to prevent XSS attacks.
- Access Control: Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only.
7. Your Rights and Choices
You have the following rights regarding your personal information:
- Access & Correction: You can access and update your profile information through your account settings.
- Deletion: You can request the deletion of your account and associated data. Upon request, we will permanently delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days.
- Data Portability: You can request a copy of your learning data in a structured format.
- Opt-Out: You can opt-out of non-essential email communications.
- AI Consent: You can revoke consent to share your content with the third-party AI provider at any time from Account → Settings → "AI Features & Data". This disables AI-powered tutoring for your account.
To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below.
8. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide our services and fulfill the purposes described in this policy.
- Active Accounts: We retain data while your account is active.
- Deleted Accounts: When you delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days.
- Legal Retention: We may retain certain transaction records (e.g., payment history) for a longer period as required by tax laws and accounting principles.
