5. Data Processing

OctaKidz uses automated tools, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning models, to analyze worksheets and learning activities uploaded by students. This helps to:

  • Provide personalized feedback on skills and performance,
  • Generate reports for parents or mentors, and
  • Recommend suitable next steps or content for the learner.

All AI-powered evaluations are designed for informational and developmental purposes only and do not involve automated decision-making that has legal or behavioural consequences.

The data processed by AI includes:

  • Worksheet content (text, images, drawings, typed or handwritten input)
  • Metadata like timestamps, age group, usage frequency
  • Performance indicators like response time, attempt history, and learning milestones

We ensure that:

  • AI outputs are reviewed or monitored periodically by our education team.
  • Personal data processed by AI is pseudonymized where possible to protect identities.
  • No sensitive personal data (e.g., health data, biometric scans) is fed into AI models.

Parents or guardians provide explicit consent for this processing during registration and may withdraw consent at any time by contacting support@octakidz.com. Withdrawal of consent may limit the availability of personalized learning features.
