What data we collect
When you create an account, we collect:
• Your work email address
• Your school or college name
• Your selected role (Internal Verifier or School Admin)
When you upload scripts or batches, we process:
• The text content of uploaded assignments (for AI-assisted criteria matching)
• Student reference identifiers you associate with scripts
We do not collect names of students unless you include them in uploaded files. We do not collect payment information.
How we use your data
Your account data is used solely to:
• Authenticate your session
• Configure your dashboard with the correct BTEC unit criteria
• Associate your verification log with your centre
Uploaded files are stored in S3-compatible object storage (Tigris). The extracted text of each script is sent to our AI model provider (Doubao via Zenmux) for criteria analysis, together with the unit's grading criteria. Doubao via Zenmux's privacy policy applies to data sent to their API.
We do not use your data to train AI models. We do not sell your data. See our Data Protection page for the full data map, sub-processor list and retention details.
Data storage and retention
Account data is stored in a Turso (SQLite) database hosted in the EU. Uploaded files are kept in S3-compatible object storage (Tigris); verification logs and flag decisions are retained for as long as your account is active.
If you close your account, all associated data — files, extracted text and records — is deleted within 30 days. To request deletion at any time, email privacy@checkb.tech.
