AI Data Sharing & Model Improvement Policy
At Univad, we use advanced AI tools—including OrixAI, Coderoom, and integrated third-party models like OpenAI—to deliver personalized support, smarter learning experiences, and faster help for our students and educators.
To continue improving these services while maintaining user trust, we believe in being fully transparent about how and when your interactions may contribute to ongoing model improvements.
What May Be Shared
In some cases, Univad may allow model providers like OpenAI to receive anonymized interaction data, which may include:
-
The questions you ask (input)
-
The responses generated (output)
-
Feedback you give, such as giving a thumbs-down to a reply
-
Evaluation data from training exercises or test prompts done within the platform
Note: Shared content is only from learning tools where AI is used, and does not include private account info, payment data, passwords, or any document you mark as private or confidential.
Why We Share
We may choose to allow this data sharing only to improve the underlying AI models used to power tools like OrixAI and Coderoom. This helps make future interactions more accurate, relevant, and helpful for learners worldwide—including you.
As part of this, Univad may occasionally allow:
-
Feedback (e.g. thumbs-down responses) to be reviewed by model providers
-
Evaluation prompts and results to help models learn
-
Inputs and outputs to be shared in a strictly controlled and anonymized way
Benefits for Our Users
By allowing data sharing in selected learning tools, Univad can:
-
Offer daily free access to powerful models for all students
-
Run evaluation tests and practice sessions at no cost to users
-
Help the AI better understand real student learning patterns
-
Improve the quality of CV reviews, code suggestions, and career guidance
Your Privacy Comes First
Here’s what we do to keep your data safe:
-
We never share personal information (name, email, address, phone number, payment info, etc.)
-
All shared data is de-identified before it is used for improvement
-
We limit data sharing to only specific tools where learning interactions happen (not general browsing or private settings)
-
You are always free to opt out by contacting us or disabling certain AI tools in your account
Your Controls
If you prefer not to share any part of your interaction with AI models:
-
You can disable certain features within your learning tools
-
You can contact us at [support@univad.org] to request full exclusion from any model feedback or training contributions
-
You may still use OrixAI and other features, but some advanced tools may be limited
Transparency and Trust
We’re committed to:
-
Using AI in a way that respects students’ rights and privacy
-
Clearly explaining how data is handled and why
-
Constantly reviewing our practices to stay compliant with global privacy standards (like NDPR, GDPR, and others)
We will never sell your data, and we will never allow third parties to use your educational content for purposes unrelated to improving learning outcomes.
For questions about your data, privacy rights, or anything in this policy, please reach out to us at [privacy@univad.org].
