Numerade Labs, Inc.

Numerade is an online learning platform focused on providing video-based solutions and tutoring for STEM subjects to high school and college students. The service boasts a vast library of step-by-step video explanations for textbook problems and allows users to ask questions to educators. While primarily an educational tool, Numerade collects personal information upon registration and gathers data on students' academic activities, such as the subjects they study and the questions they ask, to personalize their learning experience. This collection of academic and personal data creates a detailed profile of a student's learning habits and academic performance. The aggregation of this student data raises privacy concerns, as it could be used to make inferences about a user's academic strengths and weaknesses. While not a traditional data broker that sells personal information, the platform's collection of student data could pose risks if not properly secured, potentially exposing sensitive academic information. To protect their privacy, individuals should be mindful of the information they share on any online platform. It is also advisable for users to regularly review and manage their privacy settings and to be aware of the platform's data retention policies, opting out or requesting data deletion where possible.
