Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 23, 2026

1. Who We Are

GapAI is a student, learning, and career growth platform being built to help people study, research, write, prove their skills, explore university opportunities, and access task-based work and growth opportunities.

GapAI is currently in an early validation and waitlist phase. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect personal data through this website and, where relevant, the future GapAI product and related services.

2. Information We Collect

When you join the waitlist, we may collect your email address, how you heard about GapAI, optional feedback or feature requests you choose to share, and technical information such as referral or landing page data.

We may also collect limited analytics and device information, such as page visits, browser type, device type, approximate location based on network information, and usage activity on the website.

When the product launches, GapAI may process account details, profile information, projects, notes, uploaded files, prompts, AI responses, study interests, university preferences, career interests, and preferences related to student opportunities or task-based work.

3. How We Use Information

We use waitlist information to manage signups, confirm interest, send launch and early access updates, invite users to testing opportunities, and understand which features matter most to prospective users.

We use analytics and technical information to improve website performance, measure traffic and conversions, understand user behaviour, and improve the overall user experience.

When the product launches, we may use personal data and user content to provide requested features such as study support, AI assistance, notes and research tools, university matching, skill-building tools, and work or opportunity-related features.

4. Legal Bases

Where UK GDPR or similar data protection laws apply, we rely on consent where required, including for optional communications and certain marketing or early access updates.

We may rely on legitimate interests to operate, secure, analyse, maintain, and improve the website and product, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

Where users create accounts, request services, or use paid features in the future, we may process personal data where necessary to provide the requested service or to take steps before entering into a contract.

5. Service Providers

We use trusted third-party providers to help operate GapAI. These may include providers for hosting, analytics, waitlist management, email delivery, authentication, cloud storage, and AI services.

Our current website infrastructure may use services provided by Vercel, including analytics and hosting-related tools. Waitlist signups may also be processed through third-party waitlist or form providers.

Where GapAI provides access to AI-powered features, prompts, uploaded content, and related inputs may be processed by relevant AI or infrastructure providers solely to deliver the requested functionality.

6. User Content and Ownership

You retain ownership of your materials, notes, uploads, prompts, projects, documents, and other content you submit to GapAI.

You grant GapAI a limited right to host, store, process, reproduce, and display your content only as necessary to operate the platform, provide requested features, improve reliability, and maintain the service.

7. Sharing Information

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share personal data with service providers who support the operation, security, hosting, analytics, communications, or functionality of the website and product.

We may also disclose information where necessary to comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, prevent fraud or misuse, protect rights and safety, or as part of a business transaction such as an acquisition, merger, or restructuring.

If GapAI introduces university, employer, partner, or opportunity-matching features, relevant profile or application information may be shared only where you actively choose to use those features or otherwise authorise that sharing.

8. Retention

We keep waitlist information for as long as reasonably necessary to manage signups, early access, launch communications, and related product planning, unless you request deletion earlier where applicable.

When the product launches, retention periods may differ depending on the type of data and the feature being used. We will retain data only for as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the platform.

9. Security

We aim to use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal data and user content against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

No online platform can guarantee absolute security, but GapAI is being built around the principle that user data should be handled carefully, responsibly, and with appropriate protection.

10. International Transfers

Some of our service providers may process data outside your country of residence. Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions, contractual protections, or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

11. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, update, delete, restrict, object to, or request a copy of your personal data.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

If you are in the UK, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office.

12. Children and Young Users

GapAI is designed for students, learners, and early-career users. If you are below the age at which you can lawfully consent to digital services in your location, you should use GapAI only with permission or involvement from a parent, guardian, school, or other responsible adult where required.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as GapAI develops, launches new features, or changes the way the platform operates. The latest version will always be published on this page with an updated effective date.
