Overview

Gradeful is an independent study platform for AUB and LAU students. We collect only the information needed to run course previews, course requests, reservations, support, safety, and paid course-pack features.

Gradeful is not affiliated with AUB, LAU, or any instructor. Do not upload university documents, professor materials, exam files, or private third-party content unless you have the right to share them.

Information we may collect

  • Contact details, such as email address or support messages.
  • Course request details, such as university, course code, course title, instructor name, and notes.
  • Account details when accounts are active, such as login method, course access, and subscription status.
  • Schedule or enrollment proof if required to verify course access.
  • Reservation, payment, and access records when paid access is active.
  • Usage, device, and security data, such as pages visited, feature usage, IP address, browser, and device identifiers.
  • Content feedback, correction reports, and academic-integrity reports.

How we use information

  • To provide course previews, course packs, and student support.
  • To prioritize new AUB and LAU course content.
  • To verify access, reservation status, payment status, and course eligibility.
  • To prevent abuse, account sharing abuse, scraping, or cheating.
  • To improve explanations, quizzes, and platform reliability.
  • To comply with legal, safety, and academic-integrity obligations.

AI and study assistance

If Gradeful offers AI study assistance, prompts and interactions may be processed to provide answers, improve safety, prevent abuse, and debug the product. AI features should be grounded in Gradeful course material and are not a substitute for university rules or instructor guidance.

Sharing information

Gradeful may share information with service providers that help run the platform, including hosting, database, analytics, email, payment, support, security, and AI providers. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or to investigate misuse.

Gradeful does not sell student personal information as a standalone data product.

Retention and deletion

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the platform, keep records, prevent abuse, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations. Students may request deletion of personal data, subject to records Gradeful must keep for security, payment, academic-integrity, or legal reasons.

Student responsibilities

Students should not submit confidential, copyrighted, or restricted course materials. If you believe content on Gradeful includes protected material or personal information, contact Gradeful with the course, page, and details so it can be reviewed.
