Trust, privacy, and the questions students ask
How OliveAI treats your data, and honest answers to what students want to know before they start.
Trust & privacy
Private by default, limited to what you can already access
Your data boundary is yours. We don't build a shared bank of course content and we don't overclaim security certifications we haven't earned.
- Only content already available to the signed-in student.
- No cross-student source retrieval — ever.
- Encryption in transit and at rest.
- Raw lecture audio deleted after successful transcription by default.
- Export and deletion controls for your data.
- AI uncertainty and missing-source warnings are shown, not hidden.
