Privacy Policy

Effective November 8, 2026

Socrates 1776 (“the app”, “we”) helps teachers, homeschool parents and students examine headlines and other texts through grammar, logic, rhetoric and wisdom. This page explains, in plain language, what information the app collects, why, and what we do with it.

In short: we collect only what the app needs to work. We do not sell information, show ads, or use tracking or advertising tools.

Information we collect

From teachers and parents (account holders):

Email address and password, to create your account and sign you in. Passwords are stored in scrambled (hashed) form and are never visible to us.
The texts you analyze and the results, saved to your History so you can return to them, edit them and share them with students.
Worksheets you share with students, and the work students turn in to you.

From students: students do not create accounts. When a student turns in a worksheet from a link their teacher shared, we save:

the name the student types,
the student’s answers, and
the time the work was turned in.

Only the teacher who shared the worksheet can see the work turned in for it.

Automatically: like nearly all websites, the services that run the app keep basic technical logs (such as IP address, browser type and the time of a visit) to keep the site working and secure. We do not use these to build profiles of anyone.

How we use information

To run the app: sign you in, analyze texts, save your History, and deliver students’ work to their teacher.
To send account emails, such as confirming your email address or resetting your password. We do not send marketing emails or newsletters.
To answer you when you contact us.
To fix problems and keep the app secure.

Services that help run the app

We use a few trusted services, each only for its part of the job:

Supabase stores accounts, History and students’ turned-in work, and sends account emails.
Google Gemini (an AI service) reads the text you choose to analyze and returns the analysis. The text is handled under Google’s terms for its Gemini service. Please do not paste private information about yourself or others into the text box.
Bolt hosts the website.
Cloudflare manages our domain names and forwards email sent to our contact address.

We do not sell, rent or trade anyone’s information, and we do not share it with advertisers.

Cookies and tracking

The app stores a small sign-in record in your browser so you stay signed in. It also remembers your chosen grade level and the analysis you are working on, so they are still there if you reload the page. There are no advertising cookies and no analytics or tracking tools.

Children and students

Socrates 1776 is made for use by teachers and parents with their students, including children under 13. Students never create accounts and are not asked for an email address, phone number or home address. The only personal detail saved is the name a student types on a worksheet, along with their answers.

Teachers and schools who share worksheets with students under 13 are responsible for obtaining any parental consent their school or law requires. A student may type only a first name if the teacher prefers.

A parent who would like to see or delete their child’s turned-in work can ask the child’s teacher, or contact us at the address below.

How long we keep information

Your account and History are kept until you delete them or ask us to delete your account.
Students’ turned-in work is kept until the teacher deletes it, which teachers can do at any time from Student Mode. When a teacher deletes a shared worksheet or their account, the work turned in for it is deleted too.

Your choices

You can delete any saved analysis from your History, and any student work from Student Mode.
You can ask us to see, correct or delete your information, or to close your account, by emailing us.

Security

We use secure (HTTPS) connections, hashed passwords, and database rules that let each teacher see only their own History and their own students’ work. No system is perfectly secure, but we take care to protect the information we hold.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update it on this page and change the date at the top.
