Schooligio.ai is operated by Ivy Central FZ LLC (“Schooligio,” “Ivy Central,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Schooligio provides AI-powered college admissions, academic planning, and educational guidance tools for students, parents, counselors, independent educational consultants, schools, and other educational organizations.

We are committed to protecting the privacy, security, and confidentiality of students, families, educators, and institutional users. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we share it, how we protect it, and what rights and choices may be available to you.

This Privacy Policy applies to Schooligio.ai, app.schooligio.ai, and related websites, applications, AI tools, communications, and services that link to this Privacy Policy, collectively referred to as the “Services.”

Where Schooligio processes student information on behalf of a school, school district, educational institution, counseling organization, or other institutional customer, we act as a service provider or processor and process that information only as instructed by the institution, our agreement with that institution, and applicable law. If there is a conflict between this Privacy Policy and a signed Data Processing Agreement, Student Data Privacy Agreement, school contract, or institutional agreement, the signed agreement controls for the covered data.

8. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information.

9. Schooligio AI tools are designed to support human decision-making, not replace professional educational judgment.

7. How We Use AI

Schooligio uses artificial intelligence to generate educational guidance, planning suggestions, feedback, summaries, recommendations, and other user-requested outputs.

Our AI Commitments

• AI outputs are intended to support students, families, counselors, consultants, and educators, not replace human judgment.

• We do not guarantee admissions outcomes, scholarship awards, academic results, financial aid outcomes, or any other specific result.

• Users should review AI outputs for accuracy, appropriateness, and fit before relying on them.

• We do not use Student Data or identifiable Personal Information to train, fine-tune, or improve AI models.

• We require AI service providers that process data on our behalf to act as service providers or processors and not use Schooligio data to train, fine-tune, or improve their own models.

• We do not use AI to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, such as college admission, scholarship eligibility, school discipline, or educational placement.

• Where AI may assist with recommendations, the final decision remains with the student, family, counselor, consultant, school, institution, or other human decision-maker.

AI Safety and Quality

We work to reduce inaccurate, biased, unsafe, or inappropriate outputs through reasonable safeguards, which may include prompt design, monitoring, testing, access controls, content filtering, abuse detection, and user reporting tools.

Because AI systems can make mistakes, users should not submit emergency, crisis, medical, legal, or financial questions that require a licensed professional response.

10. COPPA and Children Under 13

Schooligio is designed for students, families, counselors, consultants, and educational institutions. Some users may be under 13.

Where the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, applies:

• We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 13 unless permitted by law, authorized by a School or Educational Institution, or supported by verifiable parental consent where required.
