Privacy Policy
Updated 7 October 2026 · Version 2.0 review copy
A short explanation
Lesson Dock is a personal school planner. Your account stores the schoolwork you choose to add. Some optional tools send text and images to AI services. Check every important date and result against your school’s records.
Lesson Dock is operated by an individual. The operator’s full legal identity and business correspondence address must be added before this review copy is treated as a complete privacy notice.
Information the app handles
- Account and profile: email, name, display name, school, grade, school year, timezone and preferences.
- Schoolwork: courses, teacher names, rooms, timetable, homework, calendar events, grades, report cards, improvement targets, notes and study sessions.
- AI tools: chat messages, prompts, images or files you submit, extracted results, and usage or safety records.
- Connections: Schoology calendar links or authorised connection details, imported events and sync history. Private calendar links act like passwords; do not share them.
- Settings and history: reminder preferences, notifications, calendar export identifiers, progress totals, import batches and privacy requests.
- Technical information: the hosting and native app providers may process device, browser, network, authentication and error information to operate and protect the service.
Why information is used
The app uses your information to show your planner, save schoolwork, import your chosen school calendar, provide requested AI assistance, track study sessions and apply your preferences. Support and technical records help investigate problems and protect accounts.
Schoolwork and optional uploads are not required by law. An email and authentication information are needed for an account. You can use manual planning without uploading report cards or using scanners.
The operator must confirm and document the appropriate lawful bases for each activity, including the additional protections for children. Using an optional feature does not remove your data-protection rights.
AI features and your choices
Timetable and course scanners, Study Assistant, report-card analysis and other AI helpers may send relevant text, images and schoolwork context to third-party AI services through Base44 or OpenAI. Processing is not limited to your device.
Use these features only with information you are entitled to provide. Remove unrelated names and avoid uploading health, safeguarding, identity, financial or other sensitive information. You can choose manual entry instead.
AI can misread dates, teachers, grades or tasks. Review extracted information before saving. Study suggestions do not decide school admissions, official grades or other legal outcomes.
Do not assume that all providers have identical retention or model-training policies. Provider contracts and account settings need separate verification. Home reminder summaries are generated without an external AI call.
Who receives information
Base44 provides app hosting, authentication, database, file and integration services. Its subprocessors may support storage, logging, email and AI processing. OpenAI is used by certain AI backend features. Schoology receives requests when you connect or refresh your chosen school data. Installed apps also use native wrapper and device services.
Lesson Dock’s current app code does not sell schoolwork or provide it to advertising networks. Providers may process technical information under their own policies. Support information may be shared only as needed to investigate your request or meet legal obligations.
Storage, transfers and security
Information is stored through the app’s cloud providers and may be processed outside the UK. The operator must confirm the actual hosting locations, provider agreements and safeguards for international transfers; this review copy does not claim these have already been verified.
Access controls and private server-side connection records protect account data. No online service can guarantee security. Keep your login and private calendar link confidential and contact support if you suspect unauthorised access.
Retention and deletion
Planner records remain until you remove them or request erasure. Hidden and archived items are still stored. Deleting school data removes the covered planner records and disconnects stored Schoology connections while keeping your login.
The app’s account-deletion workflow removes application records and anonymises the student profile. Platform login records, uploaded files, backups and provider logs may require additional provider action. Contact support for a complete erasure request; do not assume the in-app workflow instantly removes every copy.
Provider backup, file and log retention periods, and the minimum retention for privacy-request history, must be confirmed by the operator. Retention should be limited to what is needed for the relevant service, security or legal purpose.
Cookies and local storage
The app and authentication provider use browser storage or cookies to maintain sign-in. Lesson Dock also saves local display preferences and temporary preview state. Clearing browser storage may sign you out and reset these preferences. Any additional provider analytics or tracking must be reviewed separately.
Device calendars, reminders and location
Device calendar export adds the school events you select to a calendar on your device. The current feature is a one-way export; it does not import your existing calendar into Lesson Dock. Calendar and notification permissions can be managed in device settings.
A reminder preview does not send a push notification. Scheduled records do not prove a notification reached your device. Delivery depends on the installed app, permissions and configured services.
Arrival detection is not currently available. The app no longer asks for your location for this unused feature. If a location was previously saved, the Reminders page lets you clear it before saving your preferences.
Children and young people
Accounts are intended for students aged 13 or older. An age statement alone does not prove that younger children cannot access the service. Contact support if an account belongs to a child under 13 so it can be reviewed appropriately.
If you are under 18, ask a parent or guardian for help understanding these pages. The operator must assess the UK Children’s code, use suitable privacy defaults, minimise information collected and assess risks to young users.
Your rights and complaints
Depending on the applicable law and processing activity, you can request access, correction, erasure, restriction or a portable copy of your information. You can object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
Use Privacy & Data in Settings for the app export and deletion tools, or email support.lessondock@gmail.com for help, platform records or a rights request. The normal UK response period is one month; permitted extensions or exceptions must be explained where applicable.
You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, or to the relevant authority in your country. You do not need to contact us first to exercise that right.
Changes and provider information
This page is dated so you can see when it changes. Material changes should be brought to your attention before they apply; an edit does not create unlimited permission to reuse your information.
