Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 8, 2026  ·  Last updated: June 20, 2026

Pathfinder is a K-12 tutoring app. We take children's privacy seriously. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. Parents and guardians must create and manage accounts for children under 13.

1. Who We Are

Pathfinder ("we," "us," or "our") is an AI-powered tutoring application for K-12 students. You can reach us at support@pathfinder.kroggin.com with any privacy questions.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect:

  • Email address — used for authentication, account recovery, and service communications.
  • Name — displayed in the app and used to personalize the tutoring experience.
  • Role — whether you are a parent/guardian or student, to tailor the app experience.

Student Profile Information

When you create student profiles (parents only), we collect the student's name and grade level. We do not collect dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, or government identification numbers.

Session and Academic Data

We store the content of tutoring sessions — the questions students ask and the AI's responses — so you can review past sessions and track progress. This data is stored in your account and is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Important: Tutoring session messages are transmitted to Anthropic's Claude AI service to generate responses. Please see Section 4 (Third-Party Processors) for details.

Usage Data

We collect product usage events (such as "session started" or "subject selected"), through our analytics provider (PostHog), to understand how the app is used and improve it. These events are associated with your account so we can understand the experience over time, but they do not include the content of tutoring sessions.

Technical Data

We collect crash reports and error logs through our error monitoring service (Sentry) to diagnose and fix bugs. These may include device type, OS version, and the state of the app at the time of a crash, but do not include session content.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide the Pathfinder tutoring service and authenticate your account.
  • To generate AI tutoring responses via Claude (Anthropic).
  • To display session history and progress tracking within the app.
  • To process subscription payments through the app store (Google Play on Android or the App Store on iOS) via RevenueCat.
  • To diagnose errors and improve app reliability.
  • To send transactional emails (password resets, receipts). We do not send marketing emails without your consent.

4. Third-Party Processors

We work with the following trusted service providers. Each is bound by a data processing agreement and processes data only as necessary to provide their services:

  • Supabase — Database and authentication. Stores account information, student profiles, and session history. Privacy Policy
  • Anthropic (Claude) — AI tutoring responses. Tutoring session messages are sent to Anthropic's API to generate responses. Anthropic processes these messages according to their privacy policy and does not use API data to train models by default. Privacy Policy
  • Google Play (Google) — Payment processing for subscriptions purchased on Android. Handles billing; we never receive or store your card details. Privacy Policy
  • Apple App Store (Apple) — Payment processing for subscriptions purchased on iOS. Handles billing; we never receive or store your card details. Privacy Policy
  • RevenueCat — Subscription management for in-app purchases. Processes your subscription and purchase status. Privacy Policy
  • PostHog — Product analytics. Collects usage events (not session content) to help us understand and improve the app. Privacy Policy
  • Sentry — Error monitoring. Collects crash reports and error logs to help us fix bugs. Privacy Policy

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Pathfinder is designed for use by K-12 students, and we take our obligations under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) seriously.

  • We do not allow children under 13 to create their own accounts.
  • Children under 13 must use Pathfinder through an account created and managed by a parent or legal guardian.
  • Parents and guardians can review, modify, or delete their child's data at any time by contacting us at support@pathfinder.kroggin.com.
  • We do not use children's personal information for advertising or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data and session history for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it by law (e.g., payment records for tax purposes).

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correct inaccurate data by updating your account settings or contacting us.
  • Delete your account and all associated data by contacting us.
  • Export your session history by contacting us.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@pathfinder.kroggin.com.

8. Data Security

We use industry-standard security practices including encrypted data transmission (TLS), encrypted storage, and authenticated API access. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Pathfinder after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
