1. Introduction
Welcome to Yumio.
Yumio is an educational platform created to help students improve their understanding of GCSE and academic subjects through personalised learning, revision tools, exam-style practice, feedback, and guided study recommendations.
We understand that education data can be sensitive. Information about what a student studies, where they struggle, and how they perform academically can reveal a lot about their learning journey. Because of this, we take privacy seriously and aim to collect only information that is genuinely useful for providing and improving Yumio.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, how we protect it, and what choices users have regarding their information.
Throughout this policy:
"Yumio", "we", "us", and "our" refer to SandroSoft, the company operating Yumio.
"User" refers to anyone using the Yumio platform.
"Personal information" refers to information that can identify a person directly or indirectly.
By creating an account or using Yumio, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

3. Information We Collect
To provide an effective learning platform, Yumio needs certain information about users and how they interact with the service.
We do not collect information simply because it is available. We collect information when there is a clear reason that helps us provide educational features, improve the platform, or protect users.
3.1 Account Information
When a user creates a Yumio account, we collect information needed to create and manage that account.
This may include:
- Email address
- Username or display name
- Securely stored password information
- Year group (such as Year 7–11)
- School information (optional)
- Subjects being studied
- Preferred exam board
- Account settings and preferences
This information allows Yumio to provide an experience suitable for each student.
For example:
A Year 11 student may receive GCSE-focused content. A student who has set their exam board in Profile may receive practice matched to that board’s published specification. Account settings allow users to personalise how they interact with Yumio.
Passwords are protected using secure methods. Yumio does not store passwords in plain text.
3.2 Learning and Progress Information
The main purpose of Yumio is to help students improve. To do this effectively, we need to understand learning activity.
We may collect:
- Questions answered
- Quiz results
- Exam practice scores
- Topics studied
- Topics requiring improvement
- Mastery progress
- Revision history
- Completed lessons
- Suggested learning pathways
- Mistake patterns
This information creates a learning profile based on a student's activity within Yumio.
For example, if a student repeatedly struggles with quadratic equations, Yumio may recommend additional lessons, questions, or revision activities related to that topic.
This information is used to support learning and provide recommendations. It is not used to make decisions about a student's intelligence, potential, or future.
3.3 Uploaded Work and Documents
Some Yumio features allow students to upload their own work for feedback.
Examples include:
- Photos of handwritten answers
- Practice exam papers
- PDFs
- Revision notes
- Written responses
Uploaded material may contain educational information about a student, such as their answers, mistakes, and working methods.
We process uploaded content only for purposes connected to providing educational support, including:
- AI-assisted marking
- Feedback generation
- Explanation of mistakes
- Suggested improvements
Users should avoid uploading unnecessary personal information.
For example, students should remove:
- home addresses
- phone numbers
- unrelated personal documents
- information about other people
3.4 Notes, Flashcards and Revision Content
Yumio allows students to create and save their own revision materials.
This may include:
- Personal notes
- Flashcards
- Saved questions
- Favourite resources
- Revision collections
- AI-generated study resources
This information allows students to continue learning across different sessions and devices.
Personal study content belongs to the user. Yumio only stores and processes it to provide the requested service.
3.5 AI Features
Yumio uses artificial intelligence to provide educational assistance.
AI features are designed to act as a learning assistant, helping students understand topics and improve their answers.
When using AI features, Yumio may process:
- Questions submitted by students
- Answers provided by students
- Uploaded educational material
- Relevant learning history
- Context needed to provide useful explanations
AI may help with:
- explaining difficult concepts
- suggesting methods
- giving feedback
- identifying possible mistakes
- recommending revision
However, AI feedback is not an official exam result.
Yumio is independent of AQA, Pearson Edexcel, and OCR. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in partnership with those boards, and Yumio practice is not an official paper. Yumio does not train models on exam-board question papers. Practice content is original and written to published GCSE specifications. Yumio does not claim ownership of examination-board materials.
AI responses should be treated as educational guidance. Students should always use judgement and, where appropriate, confirm information with teachers or official resources.
Yumio does not publicly identify students using AI conversations or uploaded work.
3.6 Social and Competition Features
Yumio includes optional features that allow students to study with others or compare progress.
These features may include:
- Friends
- Paper Together
- Ranked competitions
- Activity features
Information collected may include:
- Friend codes
- Invitations
- Match information
- Room participation
- Scores
- Rankings
These features are designed for educational interaction.
Users should never share passwords, addresses, private contact details, or other personal information through Yumio social features.
We may restrict or remove accounts that misuse social features or attempt to harm other users.
