Privacy Notice

Effective date: 13 June 2026

Who operates this service

BandLeap is an AI-assisted MUET writing practice tool operated by Dr. Ong JW, a licensed MUET teacher, for educational purposes. For any privacy-related matters, contact us at admin@bandleap.com.

What personal data we collect

  • Full name and email address — collected at registration
  • Essay text transcript — extracted from your uploaded photos by AI, then stored
  • AI-generated feedback — linked to your account and submission history
  • Consent record — the date and time you agreed to this notice, kept as evidence of consent

We do not store your essay photographs. Photos you upload are sent directly to the AI for analysis and immediately discarded — only the extracted text transcript and feedback are saved. We do not collect payment information, location data, or any data beyond what is listed above.

Why we collect it

Your data is collected solely to provide you with automated MUET essay feedback. Essay photos are processed transiently — sent to the AI service, analysed, and discarded. The transcript and feedback are stored in your account so you can review your progress over time.

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose beyond the feedback service.
