Privacy Policy

Who we are

Cognition is operated by Perspective Global Pty Ltd at cognition.pixelverse.tech (and cognition.tryhello.app). We are the data controller responsible for the information described below.

Who this applies to

Cognition is used by two kinds of people: teachers, who create accounts and set up tasks, and students, who join a conversation using a short class code and do not create an account. This policy covers both.

What we collect

From teachers, when you create an account:

• Your name and email address, used to sign you in and identify your workspace.
• Tasks you create, including the topic, mode, and any assignment text you choose to add.

From students, during a conversation:

• A first name or nickname, only so the teacher can recognise the transcript. A full name is never required.
• The messages exchanged during the conversation, and any work the student chooses to upload for a Defence session.

We deliberately do not collect student email addresses, passwords, dates of birth, or any profile beyond what a teacher needs to read the transcript.

How we use it

• To run the adaptive conversation and produce a transcript and per-concept summary for the teacher.
• To keep the conversation safe and on-topic for minors.
• To operate, secure, and improve the service.

What we never do

• We never use student answers or uploaded work to train AI models.
• We never sell personal information, and we never share it for advertising.
• We never produce a verdict on cheating. Cognition surfaces evidence of understanding, not accusations.

Uploaded work

When a student uploads a document for a Defence session, we extract the text so the AI can ask grounded questions, and we store only that text and the file name - never the original file.

Where your data lives

Data is stored with our database provider in the region your school's workspace is configured for (for Australian schools, Australian data centres). AI processing is performed by our model provider solely to generate the next question or the final summary, and is not retained by them to train models.

How long we keep it

Teachers control task and conversation data in their workspace and can delete it at any time. When a teacher deletes a task or their account, the associated conversations and transcripts are removed.

Your choices

• Teachers can access, export, or delete the data in their workspace from the dashboard.
• Students or parents can ask the supervising teacher or school to remove a transcript.
• You can contact us to request access to or deletion of personal information.
