These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy (which includes our Cookie Notice) and our Children’s Privacy Policy (a plain-language guide for young learners). Where access is arranged by a school or organisation, our Data Processing Agreement also applies (see Section 17).

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using this platform, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the platform.

3. Who These Terms Apply To

These Terms apply to:

• Students (learners under or over 18): the young people taking our courses;

• Parents or guardians (responsible for users under 18): who provide consent and supervise use;

• Educators and schools (including organisations facilitating access): who arrange access for learners and, where they do so, are responsible for ensuring parental or guardian consent has been obtained before learners access the platform.

If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf before you access the platform.

4. Educational Purpose

This platform is provided for educational purposes only, to support learning in artificial intelligence and related topics. It must not be used for commercial, harmful, or non-educational activities. We use the data collected through the platform only for educational delivery, safety, and service improvement - never for purposes unrelated to learning. The platform contains no in-course purchases, virtual currencies, or paid shortcuts for learners; course fees are paid only by parents, guardians, schools, or programme partners. 

5. Data Ownership and Use

• Students, parents, and schools retain ownership of their data at all times. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of student or school data to us. We hold only the limited rights necessary to operate and improve the platform.

• We act only as a data processor for delivering educational services and do not sell or commercially exploit student data. We do not sell, rent, trade, or broker personal data, use it for targeted advertising, or build, buy, or sell learner profiles for commercial purposes, and we contractually require every service provider that processes platform data on our behalf to observe the same prohibitions.

• Data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy (which includes our Cookie Notice) and any applicable Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with schools or partners.

• We do not intend to process Special Category Data (such as health, ethnicity, or biometric information) unless explicitly agreed in writing and strictly necessary for safeguarding or legal compliance purposes.

• Third-party platforms and tools (sub-processors), including Thinkific, may process data on our behalf. These are bound by equivalent data protection obligations.

• Where programme delivery involves international participation, data may be accessed by authorised individuals outside the UK or EEA. Appropriate safeguards, including UK International Data Transfer Agreements or Standard Contractual Clauses, are maintained.

• We maintain records of processing activities as required by applicable law.

6. Accounts and Safety

• You must keep login details secure and not share them with others.

• Parents, guardians, and educators are responsible for supervising appropriate use by students.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the platform safely and respectfully. You must not:

1. Harm or bully others

2. Share inappropriate or illegal content

3. Attempt to access accounts or systems without permission

4. Upload content that violates others' rights

Parents and educators are responsible for helping students understand and follow these rules.

8. Safeguarding

Teens in AI is committed to the safety and well-being of young people. Where a safeguarding concern arises through the use of this platform, it will be escalated in accordance with our safeguarding procedures. Mentors, volunteers, and staff are subject to appropriate behavioural expectations. Access to participant data is restricted to authorised personnel only.

9. User Content

• You retain ownership of content you upload.

• You grant us a limited licence to use it only to operate and improve the platform.

• We may remove content that violates these Terms.

10. Data Breaches

In the event of a personal data breach, we will notify affected schools or institutional partners without undue delay and, where feasible, within 48 hours of becoming aware. Where a breach poses a risk to individuals, we will notify the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) within 72 hours. Where a breach is likely to result in a high risk to affected individuals, we will also notify those individuals - or their parents or guardians where the individual is a child - without undue delay. Notification will include, where available: the nature of the breach, the categories of data affected, the likely consequences, and the measures taken or proposed to address it. These commitments mirror those in our Privacy Policy and Data Processing Agreement.

11. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will provide at least 30 days’ notice (for example, via email or platform notification) of any material changes, before they take effect. Where a change materially affects children’s use of the platform, we will present the notice in a form parents and learners can readily understand. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance; if you do not agree, you may close your account and request deletion or export of your data under Section 13.

12. Availability of the Platform

We may update, suspend, or withdraw the platform where necessary and will aim to provide reasonable notice where possible.

13. Termination and Data Deletion

We may suspend or terminate access if these Terms are breached.

Upon account termination or closure:

• Personal data will be deleted or anonymised within 90 days, and purged from residual backup copies within a further 35 days, in line with our data retention obligations, unless retention is required by law.

• Before deletion, users, parents, and institutions may request an export of their data in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

• Schools may request the deletion of student data at any time, and will receive written confirmation once deletion is complete.

14. Liability

We provide the platform with reasonable care and skill. Nothing in these Terms limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so. For student users, nothing excludes protections available under consumer or child protection laws.

15. Third-Party Links

We are not responsible for third-party websites linked from the platform.

16. Governing Law

The laws of England and Wales govern these Terms. Courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.

17. Additional Agreements

Where access is provided through a school, organisation, or partner, separate institutional agreements or Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) apply. Our master DPA - covering processing instructions, sub-processors, international transfers, breach notification, audit rights, and data return and deletion - is available to schools, NGOs, and institutional partners on request at [email protected].
