Trust & Safety

Built to protect students, not to surveil them.

DCS Rank handles a young person’s learning data. We treat that responsibility seriously — here is exactly what we promise, what we collect, and how our AI makes the calls it makes.

Privacy promise

What a linked parent can and cannot see.

  • Parents see summaries — behavioural signals and progress.
  • Not the student’s chats with the AI.
  • Not private notes.
  • Not raw study sessions.

Data ownership

Whose data it is, plainly.

  • The student owns their study data.
  • The parent gets read-only insights.
  • Every signed action is the student’s own record.
  • Unlink anytime — access ends immediately.

AI transparency

Every AI decision is explainable.

  • Why did I get this mission?
  • Why was this mock recommended?
  • How is burnout calculated?
  • Every answer traces back to your own signals.

Summaries, not surveillance.

The single design principle behind every parent-facing feature. A parent should be able to support their child without reading over their shoulder. We built the data model so that’s not even possible.

“You’ll see how they’re doing. You won’t see everything they do.“
Common questions

What we collect, and what we don’t.

Can my parent read my conversations with the AI?+

No. Parent-facing views are built from summarised signals — streaks, progress, behavioural patterns. Your doubt-solving conversations, notes, and study sessions are never shown to a linked parent.

Who owns my study data?+

You do. Your mock attempts, progress, and signed action receipts are your record. A linked parent receives read-only insights derived from it — never edit access.

How is my burnout signal calculated?+

From the rhythm of your activity — a drop in session intensity versus your own recent baseline, plus gaps in active days. It compares you to your past self, not to other students.

Why did the AI recommend a particular mock or mission?+

Recommendations are driven by your live signals — weak subjects, topics due for revision, recent accuracy, and how much load you can take right now. Every recommendation can be traced back to the signal that triggered it.

What happens if a parent and student unlink?+

Access ends immediately. A parent can only ever view a child after the child approves the link, and either side can end it at any time.
