AI-generated marks and feedback may contain mistakes and should be treated as educational assistance rather than an official qualification result.

For example:

Creating an account;
Providing a course;
Delivering tuition;

Replying to ask us to stop;

We do not intentionally sell children’s personal information.

We do not intentionally use children’s educational performance information to build advertising profiles.

Transfers to countries recognised as providing adequate protection;
Approved contractual safeguards;
The UK International Data Transfer Agreement;
An appropriate UK Addendum to approved contractual clauses; or
Another legally permitted transfer mechanism.
