Because MyWritingTutor uses advanced artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools to support writing assessment, feedback, and learning, we ask all parents and legal guardians to carefully read this AI Disclosure.
By using our Services, you consent to the use of AI as described below.
This disclosure is designed to meet the requirements of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and general best practices for the use of AI with minors.
1. Overview of AI Use
MyWritingTutor uses AI-based tools to enhance the learning experience.
AI may be used to:
- Analyse student writing
- Provide personalised feedback
- Apply scoring aligned with NAPLAN-style rubrics
- Suggest improvements in grammar, structure, vocabulary, and clarity
- Support internal quality control and curriculum improvement
AI is a learning support tool, not a replacement for qualified educators or parental supervision.
2. What Data Is Processed by AI?
The AI systems may process the following information:
- Student writing samples
- Responses to writing prompts
- Assignment submissions
- Errors, corrections, and feedback interactions
- Performance and learning patterns
We do not provide personal identifiers to AI systems unless necessary for the function of the Service.
Student submissions may be processed by third-party AI engines, such as OpenAI, for the purpose of generating feedback.
3. How AI Feedback Works
AI feedback is:
- Automated
- Based on the content the student submits
- Delivered instantly or within minutes
- Designed to mimic NAPLAN-style assessment criteria
However:
- AI is not perfect
- AI does not guarantee NAPLAN results
- Feedback may vary depending on the writing sample
- Human review may be used to ensure quality and reliability
AI feedback should be treated as educational guidance, not formal marking.
4. Data Storage & Privacy
Your child’s submissions and any AI-generated feedback are stored securely as described in our Privacy Policy.
Important notes:
- AI service providers may temporarily store data to process the request.
- We do not allow AI providers to use your child’s data to train public AI models.
- We follow strict confidentiality and encryption practices.
- Data may be stored or processed outside Australia, but only by trusted partners with appropriate safeguards.
Please refer to our Privacy Policy for full details.
5. No AI Training on Student Data
MyWritingTutor does not permit third-party AI systems to:
- Train their general models on your child’s writing
- Use submissions for unrelated research
- Build user profiles or behavioural analytics outside the purpose of our service
Student writing is used only for:
- Generating feedback
- Improving accuracy of our internal systems
- Enhancing your child’s learning journey
6. Limitations of AI
Parents acknowledge that AI:
- May occasionally produce incorrect, incomplete, or imperfect feedback
- Cannot fully replace human judgement
- Provides guidance based on patterns, not lived experience
- Does not assess creativity, originality, or nuance the way a teacher might
Our team monitors accuracy, but no AI system is error-free.
7. Parent/Guardian Responsibilities
By permitting your child to use MyWritingTutor, you agree to:
- Review all AI feedback with your child as needed
- Provide appropriate supervision when using the platform
- Ensure submissions do not contain sensitive or identifying information
- Contact us if you believe any AI output is unsuitable or incorrect
You may request deletion of your child’s data at any time.
8. Withdrawal of Consent
If you no longer want your child’s work processed by AI:
- You may contact us to turn off AI processing
- Some features (such as automated assessments) may no longer function
- You may choose to close your account or cancel your membership
We will honour your request in accordance with our obligations under the Privacy Act.
9. Acceptance of AI Use
By creating an account, enrolling in a course, or continuing to use our Services, you confirm that:
- You understand how AI is used in MyWritingTutor
- You consent to your child’s writing being processed by AI
- You agree to the data handling and privacy protections described
