Introduction

At REDucation, we value your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how we collect, use, and protect your data. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them on our educational platform, and how you can manage your preferences. REDucation is an AI-powered dashboard designed to help teachers create, manage, and share educational content while maintaining strict data protection standards.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit websites. They allow websites to recognize your device and remember certain information about your visit, such as language preferences, login credentials, and other settings. Cookies help us provide you with a seamless and personalized experience when using the REDucation platform.

1. Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the functioning of the REDucation platform and are essential for navigation and using the features of our service. Essential cookies enable you to:

• Log into your account securely

• Access secure areas of the platform

• Navigate between different features such as lesson planning, content creation, assessment building, and the marketplace

• Maintain your session while using the platform

• Process your file uploads and content generation requests

• Access your personal dashboard and class management areas

Disabling these cookies will significantly impact the functionality of REDucation and prevent you from using core features.

2. Performance Cookies

These cookies collect information about how teachers and users interact with the REDucation platform, such as pages visited, time spent on different features, and which content creation tools are used most frequently. This information helps us:

• Analyse and improve the performance and reliability of our platform

• Identify technical issues and optimize loading times

• Understand which features (such as the storybook creator, podcast generator, or mind mapping suite) are most valuable

• Monitor system stability and availability

• Optimize our AI integration and content generation processes

The data collected through performance cookies is aggregated and anonymized to protect your privacy.

3. Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the REDucation platform to remember the choices you make to provide a more personalized and efficient experience. Functional cookies enable us to remember:

• Your language and regional preferences

• Your preferred notification settings

• Your customized dashboard layout and content organization

• Your saved lesson templates and frequently used resources

• Your marketplace filter preferences and favourite creators

• Your accessibility settings (such as font size, contrast, or dyslexia-friendly options)

These preferences are stored so you don't need to reconfigure them each time you visit REDucation.

4. Advertising Cookies

These cookies are used to deliver personalized advertisements based on your interests and browsing habits. They also help measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. Through advertising cookies, we:

• Track the effectiveness of promotional campaigns for REDucation features

• Measure conversion rates from marketing initiatives

• Understand which features attract new users

• Deliver relevant promotional content based on your interests

• Prevent you from seeing the same advertisement repeatedly

You have the option to opt out of advertising cookies while still using the core REDucation platform.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We work with trusted third-party service providers to enhance the REDucation platform. These third parties may place cookies on your device for purposes including:

• Analytics Services: Understanding user behaviour and platform usage patterns (e.g., Google Analytics)

• AI and Content Processing: Optimizing our AI-powered content generation features (e.g., Google AI integration, ElevenLabs or Hume AI for voice synthesis, FAL.ai for image generation)

• Payment Processing: Securely handling marketplace transactions and subscription payments

• Customer Support: Managing support tickets and user inquiries

• Marketing and Advertising: Delivering targeted promotional content

These third parties may use the data collected through cookies to track your online activities across different websites. We ensure that all third-party service providers comply with strict data protection standards and safeguarding requirements, particularly given the educational nature of our platform.
