Introduction
This Privacy Policy breaks down how DORSCHOOL collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data when you hang out on our gamified learning platform—including our quizzes, flashcards, leaderboards, and social features. It also outlines your rights and how to make use of them. By hopping into DORSCHOOL, you agree to the practices outlined below.
Data We Collect
DORSCHOOL gathers information you provide directly when creating your account or using our features (like your name, username, email, hashed password, language, and grade level). We also track data tied to your gameplay and learning, including educational interactions (quiz answers, XP, badges, progress tracking, course history, and asynchronous duel results), account settings, preferences, and technical logs (IP addresses, device IDs, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps).
When you check out our social or referral options, we might process connection info (like member follows or invites) to keep those features running smoothly. If you choose to log in via a third-party service (Google, Apple, etc.), we receive the data needed to set up and secure your account, based on whatever permissions you've granted that service.
How We Use It
We use your data to power up and optimize the DORSCHOOL experience: setting up and managing your account, granting access to learning material, personalizing your feed, calculating and displaying XP/badges/leaderboards, recommending courses, handling user support, and preventing fraud. We also analyze usage data in aggregate or pseudonymized formats to optimize our features, ensure technical stability, and level up the overall learning experience.
We might hit you up with service-related alerts (confirmations, security updates, critical changes) and, with your green light where required, educational info or promotional updates about new courses, modules, and DORSCHOOL features. You can adjust your notification setups anytime in your account settings or via the unsubscribe links.
Legal Basis
Depending on where you live, processing your data relies on contract execution (delivering the services outlined in our Terms of Service), legitimate interests (improving the platform, keeping things secure, preventing abuse, and measuring audience engagement), and, where applicable, your consent (like for specific marketing updates or non-essential cookies). When consent is required, you can pull it back at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any processing handled before.
Sharing & Recipients
We do not sell your personal data. We only share specific data with service providers working on our behalf (hosting services, email deployment, audience analytics, and support teams). These partners can only access data to handle their agreed tasks and are contractually locked into strict security and confidentiality agreements. We may also share information if required by law (legal obligations, government requests) or to defend our rights, protect our users, and ensure the integrity of DORSCHOOL.
Security
We deploy solid technical and organizational defenses to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, leaks, modifications, or destruction. This includes encryption in transit, access logs, and strict permission controls. Even with our defenses up, no system is completely bulletproof; we highly recommend using a strong, unique password and turning on extra security options whenever they are available.
Data Retention
We keep your personal data on file for as long as necessary to provide our services, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention times vary based on the type of information and the context of processing. Once data is no longer required, we securely wipe or anonymize it.
Your Rights
Depending on local regulations, you may have the right to access, fix, delete, limit, oppose, or port your data. You can also set up rules for what happens to your account profile in the event of an extended absence or inactivity. To exercise these rights, shoot us a message through the DORSCHOOL Contact page and outline your request clearly. We might ask for some extra details to verify your identity before processing the request.
Underage Users
Minor learners can jump into DORSCHOOL with prior permission from a parent or legal guardian. We encourage legal guardians to keep an eye on platform activity and contact us with any account questions—including requests to view, modify, or delete associated user data.
International Data Transfers
Your data might be processed in countries that have different data protection levels than your own jurisdiction. When that happens, we set up proper safeguards (like standard contractual clauses or recognized frameworks) to guarantee your data stays securely protected in line with legal requirements.
Policy Updates
We might update this Privacy Policy from time to time to match updates to our services, legal changes, or internal shifts. If we make structural updates, we'll let you know through an appropriate channel. Continuing to play on DORSCHOOL after updates go live means you are down with the new version.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, your rights, or how we handle your data, hit us up through the DORSCHOOL Contact page. We'll get back to you as fast as possible.
