Essay Marker ("we", "us") provides an online service that helps educators grade essays and provide feedback using artificial intelligence, aligned with rubrics you provide. This policy describes how we handle personal information when you use our website and services.
When you request grading or feedback, content you provide (such as essay text and rubric text) may be sent to our AI provider to generate scores and comments. We configure processing to serve the product; we do not use your content to train public models unless we separately notify you and obtain consent where required. Retention of inputs and outputs follows our general retention practices below unless a different period is required by law.
We rely on service providers that may process data on our behalf, including for example:
Each provider has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them where relevant to your use of Essay Marker.
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences (such as theme), and protect the service. Essential cookies are required for authentication. You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings where applicable.
We retain account and content data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the service, comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. You may request deletion of your account or specific data by contacting us; we will respond in line with applicable law. Some information may remain in backups for a limited period before being overwritten.
We use industry-standard measures to protect data in transit and at rest. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Essay Marker is intended for educators and institutions. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children for marketing. If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including where our service providers operate. We take steps designed to ensure appropriate safeguards where required by law.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Material changes may be communicated through the product or by email where appropriate.
For privacy-related questions or requests, please use our contact form. We will respond as soon as we reasonably can.
