Effective date: October 17, 2026
Applies to: the CogMyra website (cogmyra.com) and the CogMyra apps for iPhone and Android.
Who we are
CogMyra is provided by CogMyra, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CogMyra”, “we”, “us”). “You” means the person using CogMyra.
Contact: hello@cogmyra.com.
The short version
- CogMyra is an AI learning coach for people aged 13 and up. People under 13 cannot create an account.
- We collect what we need to run the coach: your email address, the name you want it to use, your age group, and what you write and add in your chats.
- The coach’s replies are written by Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic. What you send in a chat goes to Anthropic to write the reply. Anthropic does not use it to train AI models.
- Teachers, schools, employers and other learners cannot read your chats.
- We do not sell your information, we do not show ads, and we do not use your chats to train AI models.
- You can delete a chat, all your chats, or your account at any time, in the app or on the website, and download your data on the website.
1. Who can use CogMyra
Ages 13 and up. CogMyra is not for children under 13. When you start, we ask your age group (under 13, 13 to 17, or 18 or older) and keep only the group, never your birth date. If you choose under 13, we do not create an account, and the device cannot try again for a day. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us information, email hello@cogmyra.com and we will delete it.
Learners aged 13 to 17. Teens may use CogMyra. Before the first chat, every learner sees a plain explanation that CogMyra is an AI coach, that their messages are sent to Anthropic to write replies, and how to change that choice; they must agree before chatting. For learners under 18, the coach keeps content age appropriate, does not ask for personal details such as a full name, school, address, phone number or social media, and its safety checks are stricter. We encourage teens to read this policy with a parent or guardian. Parents and guardians can contact us at hello@cogmyra.com about a teen’s account, including to ask us to delete it. We do not sell or share the information of anyone, including learners under 16.
Through a school, college or employer. If you use CogMyra through an organization’s license, see section 9.
2. What we collect
| What | Examples | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Email address, the name or nickname you choose, your age group, how you signed in, when you joined | You |
| Sign in with Apple or Google (if you use them) | The email address and name the provider shares with us; Apple may give us a private relay address instead of your email | Apple or Google, with your permission |
| Chats | Your messages, the coach’s replies, chat titles and subjects | You and the coach |
| Photos and files | Photos and PDFs you add to a message. Photos are re-saved without hidden location information before they are uploaded | You |
| Your note for the coach | Anything you write in “What CogMyra knows about me”, such as your grade or what you find hard | You |
| Tracker | Homework, tests and deadlines you add: title, subject, kind, due date, notes, done or not | You |
| School calendars and school accounts (only if you connect them) | The private calendar link you paste from Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Brightspace or Google Calendar, or a school account you sign in to where we offer it. We bring the homework, tests and due dates in it (title, date and any notes) into your Tracker. The link and any school sign-in are stored encrypted, and you see only the last 4 characters of the link | You and your school’s system |
| Courses, syllabi and learning outcomes (only if you add them) | Course names; the learning outcomes and the dated, weighted work (exams, papers, projects) from a syllabus you type, paste or photograph; the syllabus’s late work rule and office hours; how confident you feel about each outcome; and which chats practiced it. Never a grade or score you earned. A syllabus photo or file is read once and not kept | You, and the coach’s suggestions you accept |
| Ratings and reports | Thumbs up or down on a reply, the reason you choose, and replies you report. When you report AI writing that is not saved anywhere else, such as a My Semester plan, we keep the words you reported with the report | You |
| Your choices | Your agreement to the AI explanation (with its version, date and app or website), whether you allow research use (adults only) | You |
| Reminders (app only, if you turn them on) | Your device’s push address, the time you chose, your quiet hours and your time zone | You and your device |
| Classes and organizations | Classes you joined with a code, and any school, college or employer license you use | You and the organization |
| Safety records | When a safety check stops a message or a reply: the category, a short reason, and, for a coach reply, the reply that was held back | Our systems |
| Usage | Which features are used and when (for example that a chat started or a reminder was turned on), and how many messages and how much AI processing each chat used | Our systems |
| Technical | IP address, browser or device type, operating system, and error and security logs | Your browser or device |
| Messages to us | Emails you send to hello@cogmyra.com and our replies | You |
| Payments (Praxis program only) | When you buy the Praxis Core Math program on the website, Stripe collects your payment details. We receive a customer reference, your email, and the date and status of the purchase. The apps sell nothing | You and Stripe |
Voice. When you use voice typing or Talk mode, your phone, or your browser’s or device maker’s speech service (for example Apple, Google or Microsoft), turns your speech into text. In the app and on the website, we tell you before the first time if that happens off your device, and it happens only if you agree. CogMyra receives only the text you send, never a recording.
Myra’s voice. When you use read aloud or Talk with Myra, the words of the coach’s reply are sent to OpenAI to be turned into speech in one consistent voice, and the audio comes straight back to your device to play. Only the reply’s words are sent: never your voice, and never your own messages. Replies can include your name or details you shared in the chat. Neither we nor OpenAI keep the audio for CogMyra, and under OpenAI’s API terms this data is not used to train its models. If Myra’s voice is not available, your device’s own voice reads instead. The explanation you agree to before your first chat names OpenAI for this.
We do not collect precise location, contacts, browsing history outside CogMyra, advertising identifiers, biometric data or government ID numbers. We do not use facial recognition.
3. How we use it
- To run CogMyra: sign you in, keep your chats, files, note, Tracker, courses and outcomes, and send you reminders if you asked for them.
- To teach you well: the coach uses your name, your age group, your setting (on your own, school, college or work), your organization’s name if you have one, and your note for the coach to pitch its teaching to you.
- To help with your courses, if you use these features: read a syllabus you add to list its outcomes or its dated work (you check the list before anything is saved), suggest which of your outcomes a recent chat practiced (you accept, edit or remove each suggestion), write a catch-up plan when you tell My Semester you are behind, and bring the homework and due dates from a school calendar or account you connect into your Tracker.
- To keep CogMyra safe: every message you send and every reply the coach writes is checked by an AI model for things that are not right for a learning app (see section 5).
- To keep the coach honest: a separate AI check makes sure replies teach rather than hand over the answer to your own work.
- To improve CogMyra: we look at how features are used and at ratings and reports. A small CogMyra team may review chats, with names and emails removed, to improve the coach and keep it safe.
- To communicate with you: sign-in emails, replies to your questions, and important notices about your account or this policy. We send marketing email only if you agree, with a way to stop.
- To meet legal duties and to protect people from harm.
We do not sell your information, we do not share it for advertising, and we do not build advertising profiles. We do not use your chats, files or notes to train AI models, ours or anyone else’s.
4. AI processing by Anthropic
The coach’s replies are written by Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic, PBC. To write a reply, we send Anthropic your message, the recent messages in that chat, any photos or files in them, and the context the coach needs (your name, age group, setting and note). The safety checks and the honesty check also use Anthropic models.
The same agreement covers our other AI features. If you add a syllabus, we send it to Anthropic to read its outcomes or its dates. If you have learning outcomes, we send the recent messages of a chat to Anthropic, after the chat has gone quiet, to suggest which outcomes it practiced. If you tell My Semester you are behind, we send what you wrote and the dates of your work to Anthropic to write a plan. None of these run without your agreement, and we do not log what is sent.
Under Anthropic’s commercial terms, this data is not used to train AI models, and we have not opted into any training. Anthropic keeps it for a limited time for abuse and safety monitoring, under its own policy, then deletes it.
You agree to this before your first chat, in the app or on the website, and we record your answer with its date. You can turn it off at any time in the app (Me, then Privacy and your data) or on the website (your account page). With it off, the coach pauses, because it cannot reply without Anthropic; your chats and other data stay until you delete them.
AI can make mistakes. Check anything important with a trusted source.
5. Safety checks
Every message you send, with any photos or files, is checked by an AI model before the coach answers. Every reply the coach writes is checked too, as soon as it is written: most replies appear on screen as they are written and are checked when they are finished, and a reply that fails the check is replaced on screen right away. When a learner presses for the answer to their own work, the reply is held and checked before any of it is shown. My Semester’s catch-up plans are checked before they are shown. A message that is not right for a learning app gets a short, kind reply instead of an answer. A learner who may be at risk gets a caring reply that points to people who can help, such as the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the United States.
When a check stops a message or a reply, we keep a record for the CogMyra team to review: the category, a short reason, and for a coach reply, the reply that was held back. Your own message stays in your chat and is not copied into that record. These records are deleted with your account.
CogMyra is not an emergency or crisis service. If you are in danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
6. Who can see your information
- You, in your account.
- Teachers, schools, employers and other learners cannot read your chats, files, note, Tracker, courses, outcomes or semester plans, even if you join their class or use their license. Connecting a school calendar or school account only brings your homework and dates into CogMyra; we never send your chats to your school. An organization can see that you are a member of its organization or class and whether you hold one of its seats.
- The CogMyra team, only as needed to run, support and protect CogMyra: to answer your questions, to review safety records and reports, and to review chats with names and emails removed. Access is limited and logged.
- Research, only if you choose it (adults only). Learners 18 and older can let their chats, with names and emails removed, be used in published learning research. It is off unless you turn it on, and you can turn it off at any time.
- Our service providers, listed in section 7, to do work for us under contract.
- When the law requires it, or to protect someone’s safety, or to enforce our Terms.
- In a business transfer, as described in section 13.

9. Schools, colleges and employers
When an organization licenses CogMyra for its learners, we provide CogMyra to that organization as a service provider. For school use, we act as a “school official” with a legitimate educational interest under FERPA, under the organization’s direction. We use student information only to provide CogMyra to the student and the organization, never for advertising, never sold, and never to build profiles for any purpose other than the student’s learning in CogMyra. An organization can ask us to delete its students’ information. Organizations cannot read learners’ chats.
School calendars and school accounts. A learner, not the school, chooses to connect a school calendar link or school account, and we only read from it. Where CogMyra offers a Google Classroom or Google Calendar connection, CogMyra’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
10. Your choices and rights
In the app or on the website, you can:
- See everything your account holds, in plain words (“What CogMyra knows about me”).
- Download your data (website account page).
- Change your name and your note for the coach.
- Delete one chat, all chats, or your whole account. Deleting your account happens right away and cannot be undone. See cogmyra.com/delete-account.
- Turn off sharing with Anthropic (app and website), research use (website), and reminders (app).
You can also email hello@cogmyra.com to ask for a copy of your data, a correction, deletion, or to object to how we use it. We reply within 30 days and may need to confirm it is you. We will not treat you differently for using these rights.
California and other US states. We give these rights to everyone, wherever they live. We do not sell or share personal information as those words are defined in California law, and we do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you. This policy is our notice at collection: section 2 lists what we collect, section 3 why, section 7 who we share it with to run CogMyra, and section 8 how long we keep it.
11. Security
We protect your information with encryption in transit and at rest, access rules in our database so each learner can reach only their own data, limited and logged staff access, and private storage for photos and files reached only through short-lived links. No system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your information, we will tell you as the law requires.
12. Cookies (website)
The website uses only cookies it needs to work: to keep you signed in and to protect against attacks. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies or third-party analytics. The apps do not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.
13. Business transfers
If CogMyra, Inc. is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or part of its business or assets, your information may be transferred as part of that deal. Anyone who receives it must keep honoring this policy for the information collected under it, including the commitments on chats, students and AI training. We will tell you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy, so you can delete your account first if you choose.
14. Where data is processed
CogMyra is run from the United States, and our providers process data mainly in the United States. CogMyra is offered in the United States and is not directed to people in other countries. If you use CogMyra from another country, your information is processed in the United States.
15. Changes to this policy
When we change this policy in a meaningful way, we will update the effective date, post it at cogmyra.com/privacy, and tell you in the app, on the website or by email before the change takes effect. If a change means using information you already gave us in a new way, we will ask first.
