bcs, Inc.（以下「bcs」「当社」）は、生徒・保護者・学校・学区向けのAI大学カウンセリングプラットフォーム「Bruno」を提供しています。当社は、Brunoの動作に必要な最小限のデータのみを収集し、それを販売することは決してありません。本ポリシーでは、当社が何を、なぜ収集するのか、そしてあなたがどのような管理権を持つのかを説明します。
1. 収集する情報
Account information
When you create a bcs account we collect your name, email, school, graduation year, and intended major. If you sign in with Google or Apple SSO we also receive your basic profile information from that provider.
Application content
Essays, activities, awards, transcripts, scores, and writing profile data you upload or type into bcs. Bruno uses this content to give you personalized recommendations. It is yours.
Usage data
Page views, clicks, time on each module, and basic device information. We use this to fix bugs and improve product quality. We do not build behavioral profiles for advertising.
2. 情報の利用方法
Your data powers Bruno. Specifically:
- Personalized recommendations across School List, Mapping, Essay Lab, and EC & Honors.
- Match percentages and "Why Bruno picked" explanations for opportunities and schools.
- Customer support and account communication.
- Aggregate, anonymized analytics to improve Bruno's models.
3. 当社が行わないこと
- We do not sell your data to anyone, ever.
- We do not show ads inside bcs.
- We do not train third party foundation models on your essays without your explicit opt in.
- We do not share student data with admissions offices unless you choose to export and share it yourself.
4. 情報の共有
We share data with a small set of vetted service providers (cloud hosting, email delivery, payment processing) under strict data protection agreements. They cannot use your data for any purpose beyond serving bcs.
Schools and districts on a B2B plan can see counselor facing aggregate data about their students' progress. They cannot read individual essays without explicit student consent.
5. あなたの権利
- Export: download a copy of everything we have on you, any time, from your profile settings.
- Delete: delete your account and we erase your data within 30 days.
- Correct: update any field on your profile directly.
- Opt out: decline marketing emails or analytics in your settings.
6. 未成年者とFERPA
Many of our students are under 18. We comply with COPPA, FERPA, and state student privacy laws including SOPIPA. School and district admins can request a Data Processing Addendum from contact@bcscholars.com.
7. セキュリティ
Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES 256). We follow SOC 2 Type II controls and run quarterly penetration tests. Production access is limited to on call engineers and audited continuously.
8. 本ポリシーの変更
If we make material changes, we'll email every active account at least 30 days before the change takes effect. Older versions of this policy are available on request.
