HomeWorkAI is an AI-powered homework help service operated at homeworkaiapp.com. If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us at support@homeworkaiapp.com.
We collect the following information when you use HomeWorkAI:
- Account information: your name and email address when you create an account via Google, Microsoft, or email sign-up.
- Questions you ask: the homework questions you submit, including any images you upload, are sent to our AI service to generate answers.
- Usage data: how many questions you ask per day, which plan you are on, and when you last used the service.
- Payment information: if you subscribe, your payment is processed by Stripe. We do not store your card number — Stripe handles all payment data securely.
- Device and browser data: basic information like your browser type and IP address, collected automatically by our hosting provider (Vercel) and Firebase.
We use your information only to provide and improve the HomeWorkAI service:
- To authenticate your account and keep you signed in securely.
- To send your questions to our AI model and return answers to you.
- To enforce daily usage limits on the free plan.
- To process subscription payments and manage your billing.
- To send transactional emails such as password reset links (no marketing emails without your consent).
- To improve the quality and accuracy of our AI responses over time.
HomeWorkAI uses the following third-party services to operate. Each processes some of your data under their own privacy policies:
- Firebase (Google): handles user authentication and stores your account data and usage records. Firebase Privacy Policy
- OpenAI: processes the questions you submit to generate AI answers. Questions are sent to OpenAI's API. OpenAI Privacy Policy
- Stripe: processes subscription payments. Stripe stores your payment method and billing history. Stripe Privacy Policy
- Vercel: hosts the website and API. Vercel may log request data including IP addresses. Vercel Privacy Policy
We do not sell or share your personal data with any third party for advertising or marketing purposes.
HomeWorkAI is intended for users who are 13 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has created an account, please contact us immediately at support@homeworkaiapp.com and we will delete the account and all associated data promptly.
Users between 13 and 18 should use HomeWorkAI with the awareness of their parent or guardian.
HomeWorkAI uses cookies and browser local storage for the following purposes:
- Authentication: Firebase uses cookies to keep you signed in across sessions.
- Usage tracking: we store your daily question count in local storage to enforce free plan limits.
- Question history: your saved answer history is stored locally in your browser and never sent to our servers.
- Cookie consent: we store a flag in local storage when you accept our cookie notice.
We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels of any kind.
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Usage records (daily question counts) are stored for 30 days and then automatically deleted.
If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data from our systems within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or financial compliance (for example, Stripe retains billing records as required by law).
You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access: you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: you can update your name and email through your account settings.
- Deletion: you can request deletion of your account and all associated data by emailing us at support@homeworkaiapp.com.
- Portability: you can request your data in a portable format.
- Opt-out: you can cancel your subscription and stop using the service at any time.
If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, you have additional rights under GDPR including the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Authentication is handled by Firebase, which uses industry-standard security practices. Payment data is handled entirely by Stripe and never touches our servers.
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of HomeWorkAI after changes are posted means you accept the revised policy.
For significant changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you by email or by displaying a notice on the site.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal data, please contact us at:
