The short version: ProPlan Scholar collects only the information necessary to provide you with an academic planning service. We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with advertisers. We never share your mobile phone number with anyone. You own your data and can delete it at any time.
ProPlan Scholar ("we," "our," or "us") is an AI-powered academic planning application available at proplanscholar.com. We are based in Texas, United States. You can reach us at hello@proplanscholar.com.
We collect information you provide directly when you create an account and use ProPlan Scholar:
We do not collect your financial information, social security number, or any government-issued identification.
We use the information we collect to:
ProPlan Scholar uses generative AI from Anthropic (Claude) to power features including: syllabus parsing, AI flashcard generation, AI study guide generation (4 formats), the study assistant chat, image OCR for uploaded photos, and content extraction from URLs you paste in. Every other feature in the app — calendar, scheduling, grade tracking, focus timer, study streaks, push notifications — runs entirely on our own systems with no AI involvement.
What is sent to Anthropic when an AI feature runs:
What is never sent to Anthropic:
Anthropic's data handling: Per Anthropic's commercial API terms, data sent through their API is not used to train AI models. Anthropic retains API request data for a limited window (typically 30 days) for abuse-monitoring purposes, then deletes it. See Anthropic's commercial terms and privacy policy for the full detail.
AI output is not professional advice: Generated study schedules, flashcards, study guides, and chat responses are planning tools only. They are not a substitute for official course materials, instructor guidance, legal advice, or medical/mental-health care. AI can hallucinate, misread documents, or generate content that looks plausible but contains errors. Always verify important academic information against your professor's official channels.
Texas Responsible AI Governance Act (TRAIGA): ProPlan Scholar is designed to comply with the disclosure and transparency provisions of TRAIGA. We do not use AI for any of the regulated high-risk decision categories TRAIGA targets (employment, lending, housing, biometric identification, government services, social scoring).
For a complete, plain-English breakdown of how AI is used in ProPlan Scholar — including which features use AI, what data flows where, and your rights and controls — see our dedicated How We Use AI page.
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only in the following limited circumstances:
Mobile phone numbers and SMS opt-in data are never shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing, promotional, or any other purposes. See Section 6 for full details.
If you opt in to SMS reminders, ProPlan Scholar will send automated text messages to the phone number you provide. Opt-in is voluntary; SMS is not required to use ProPlan Scholar.
Mobile information is never shared. We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose your mobile phone number or SMS opt-in data to any third parties or affiliates for marketing, promotional, or any other purposes. Your phone number is used solely to deliver the assignment reminder messages you have opted in to receive, via our SMS provider (Twilio), which acts as our service provider and is contractually bound to use your number only for delivering our messages.
What you will receive: Automated reminders for assignments you have entered in the app, sent when an assignment is due in 3 days, 1 day, or on the due date itself. Reminders are scoped to your own account only.
Message frequency: Variable, based on the number of assignments you have due. Typically fewer than 5 messages per week. Maximum of 3 reminders per assignment.
Message and data rates may apply. Standard message and data rates from your mobile carrier may apply to each SMS message sent or received. ProPlan Scholar does not charge for SMS reminders, but your carrier may.
Opting out: You can stop receiving SMS reminders at any time by:
Getting help: Reply HELP to any reminder text message for assistance, or email hello@proplanscholar.com.
