5. Use of Artificial Intelligence

Kepsto utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) technologies primarily to pre-generate and enhance educational content, including course explanations, chapters, and exercises.

While our content is AI-assisted, user inputs (such as code submissions or specific answers) are processed to provide automated feedback and progress tracking.

We do not use your personal content to train public third-party AI models.

AI-generated content is provided for educational assistance and may not always be error-free. Users are encouraged to review and verify outputs where appropriate.

We do not sell personal data. We may share information with:

• Service Providers: Hosting, authentication, infrastructure, and support vendors bound by confidentiality obligations
• Legal Authorities: When required by law or valid legal process
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
• With Your Consent: When you explicitly authorize sharing

7. International Data Transfers

Kepsto operates globally. Your data may be processed in countries outside your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other lawful mechanisms to protect personal data.

8. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access your personal data
• Correct or update inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your data
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Receive a copy of your data

You may also opt out of non-essential communications at any time.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal data, including encryption in transit and access controls. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. When no longer needed, data is deleted or anonymized.

11. Cookies

Kepsto uses necessary and functional cookies required to operate, secure, and deliver the Service, including those from integration partners like CodeSandbox.

We do not use cookies for behavioral advertising.

If non-essential cookies (such as analytics cookies) are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy will be updated accordingly, and users will be asked to provide consent where required by law.

Kepsto is intended for users 13 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. Users under 18 must have permission from a parent or legal guardian.

If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.

Content posted in public areas of the Service may be visible to others. Do not include sensitive information (such as passwords, API keys, or personal data) in public submissions.
