Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2026
The short version
CourseKit is built to keep your data close. Current supported tool flows process file contents and pasted text in your browser. CourseKit does not upload those materials to its server for analysis or formatting.
What we do not do
- We do not require accounts to use CourseKit.
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not use advertising cookies or tracking analytics.
- We do not train AI models on uploaded files.
- We do not store uploaded file contents after processing.
File processing
Alt-Scan runs in the browser for DOCX, PPTX, and tagged-PDF checks. Supported files are not uploaded to CourseKit servers for scanning.
Course Analyzer runs in the browser for IMSCC course exports. Supported files are not uploaded to CourseKit servers for analysis.
Course Alignment Map Generator and QM Rubric Readiness Check run in the browser for IMSCC course exports plus optional pasted syllabus/evidence. Supported file contents and pasted supplements are not uploaded to CourseKit servers for analysis.
Measurable Objectives Checker checks pasted objective text in the browser. Pasted objective text is not sent to the CourseKit server for analysis.
Question Bank Formatter handles pasted text and uploaded .docx, .pdf, .txt, and Canvas QTI .zip files in the browser. Files are not sent to the CourseKit server for parsing.
Sensitive data and FERPA-covered records
Do not upload or paste student-identifiable information, grades, submissions, rosters, accommodations, private feedback, or other FERPA-covered education records unless your institution has approved that use.
CourseKit is designed to reduce data exposure by processing supported files in the browser, but browser-first processing does not by itself make CourseKit an institutionally approved system for FERPA-covered records.
AI and automated decision-making
CourseKit does not use uploaded files to train AI models. Current CourseKit tools do not send uploaded course exports, documents, question banks, pasted objectives, or syllabus supplements to external AI services for analysis.
CourseKit outputs are workflow aids and review signals. They are not automated institutional decisions, official accessibility determinations, legal determinations, or compliance certifications.
Institutional status
CourseKit is an independent project. It is not an official institutional product, LMS integration, LTI tool, procurement-approved system, or vendor-managed institutional service. Institutions should complete their own review before recommending CourseKit for sensitive or regulated data. For institutional review notes, see the Trust & Institutional Review page.
Cookies and local storage
CourseKit does not use analytics cookies or advertising cookies.
Your browser may use local storage for small interface preferences that stay on your device and are not sent back to CourseKit.
Hosting and subprocessors
CourseKit is hosted on Vercel in the United States. Vercel may process standard request data such as IP addresses and request logs to operate the site.
CourseKit uses Next.js font bundling, so your browser does not fetch fonts directly from Google when loading the site.
Retention
Uploaded file contents are discarded after processing. Standard platform logs follow the retention settings of Vercel. CourseKit does not keep a separate long-term database of uploaded files.
Security
CourseKit uses HTTPS, browser hardening headers, and a browser-first architecture to reduce how much sensitive course material reaches the server. For a public summary of the current posture, visit the security page.
