Plain English summary: We collect only what we need to provide the service. We do not sell your data. Your conversations with AI mentors are processed by Google's API but not stored by us beyond your active session. You can request deletion of your data at any time.
1. Who We Are
Project Zenith ("we," "us," "our") is an AI-powered educational tutoring platform operating under Egyptian law. We provide access to AI tutoring mentors designed for IGCSE and Egyptian Thanaweya Amma students.
For privacy-related inquiries, contact us via Telegram at @ProjectZenithEG.
2. What Data We Collect
We collect the minimum data necessary to operate the platform:
- Account information: Your name and contact details (Telegram or WhatsApp handle) provided when you purchase access.
- Payment records: Transaction references for InstaPay or Vodafone Cash payments. We do not store bank account numbers or card details — we never receive them.
- Usage data: Which mentors you access and when, for account management purposes.
- Conversation content: Messages you send to AI mentors are processed in real time by our AI provider (Google). See Section 4 for details.
We do not collect: your national ID, financial account details, location data, device identifiers, or any data beyond what is listed above.
3. How We Use Your Data
- To create and manage your platform account
- To verify payment and grant access to your purchased plan
- To respond to support requests
- To notify you of plan renewals (monthly subscribers) or important service updates
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or selling to third parties. Ever.
4. AI Conversations & Third-Party Processing
Project Zenith uses Google's Gemini API to power the AI mentors. When you send a message to any mentor, that message is transmitted to Google's servers for processing.
Important: Google processes your conversation data according to their own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. We strongly recommend you do not share personally sensitive information (such as your national ID, financial details, or medical information) in conversations with AI mentors.
Project Zenith does not store your conversation history on our servers beyond what Open WebUI retains for session continuity. Conversation data is not reviewed by Project Zenith staff unless you specifically share it with us for support purposes.
5. Data Sharing
We share your data only with:
- Google: Conversation content, for AI processing only via the Gemini API (see Section 4)
- Our hosting provider (Hetzner): Server infrastructure — they do not access your data
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your personal data with any other third party, advertiser, or data broker.
6. Data Retention
- Account data: Retained while your account is active and for 30 days after cancellation
- Payment records: Retained for 12 months for accounting purposes
- Conversation data: Retained on our platform only for the duration of your active subscription. Deleted within 30 days of account closure.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data
- Deletion: Request deletion of your account and all associated data
- Objection: Object to any processing of your data
To exercise any of these rights, contact us on Telegram at @ProjectZenithEG. We will respond within 14 days.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all platform access. However, no system is completely secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately.
9. Children and Minors
Our platform is designed for students aged 15-19. If you are under 18, we recommend that a parent or guardian reviews this policy. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, contact us for immediate deletion.
10. Applicable Law
This policy is governed by Egyptian law, including Egypt's Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 151 of 2020). Users accessing the platform from outside Egypt acknowledge that their data may be processed in Egypt and on servers located in the European Union (Hetzner, Germany).
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as the platform grows. We will notify active users of material changes via Telegram before they take effect. Continued use of the platform after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Third-Party Data Processors & LLMs
To power our mentors, your conversation inputs, uploaded study documents, and chat histories are processed by third-party Large Language Model (LLM) providers (including Google Cloud / Gemini API). We do not use your personal data to train these foundational models, but your prompts must temporarily pass through their secure APIs to generate responses.
Usage Tracking for Billing & Security
We actively monitor account IDs and email addresses strictly to track API token usage. This allows us to enforce subscription compute budgets, trigger fair-use model routing, and detect automated abuse. We do not sell this usage data to advertisers.
Data Upload Warning (Do Not Upload PII)
Our platform allows you to upload PDFs and images for homework assistance. You must never upload documents containing Personally Identifiable Information (PII). This includes, but is not limited to: government IDs, medical records, financial documents, or passwords. Ensure all uploaded materials are strictly academic.
