Privacy Policy

At Blackboard AI Detector (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we prioritize your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data and academic work. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide our services:

• Automatically Collected Data: When you visit our website, we may collect standard log information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, and referring pages. This is used solely for analytics and maintaining site security.
• Cookies: We use essential cookies to ensure the website functions correctly and analytical cookies to understand how users interact with our tool.

2. How We Handle Your Text Submissions (Essays & Assignments)

We understand that academic integrity and confidentiality are critical for students and educators. Therefore, our text processing policy is strict:

• No Storage: The text you paste into our detector is processed in real-time. We do not store, save, or archive your essays, assignments, or any input data on our local servers after the analysis is complete.
• No AI Training: We absolutely do not use your submitted text to train, improve, or feed any Artificial Intelligence models or databases.
• No Plagiarism Database: Unlike some institutional tools, your work is not added to any searchable database that could trigger self-plagiarism flags in the future.

3. Third-Party Services & Server Routing

To provide you with the most accurate AI detection and advanced sentence-level highlighting, your queries may be securely routed to our primary analysis servers or trusted third-party processing partners. When a redirect occurs (e.g., to generate a detailed report), your session is securely transferred. We only partner with services that uphold the same strict zero-retention data policies as we do.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information or submitted texts to third parties. We may only disclose generalized, non-personal analytical data (e.g., website traffic statistics) or if required to do so by law enforcement.

5. Third-Party Links and Trademarks

Our website may contain links to other websites or reference third-party trademarks (such as Blackboard, SafeAssign, or Turnitin). We are an independent educational tool and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Blackboard Inc. or any other mentioned trademark holders. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites you may visit through our links.

6. Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended for high school and college students, educators, and professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us so we can promptly delete it.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
