How STEM AI Future Lab handles information

1. What this policy covers

This policy applies to STEM AI Future Lab website pages, trained agents, live agent tools, source-grounded agents, mini model training tools, chat experiences, contact forms, and related public learning features.

STEM AI Future Lab is a research and public learning initiative connected to STEM AI Studio. The site is designed to explore responsible AI education, guided AI agents, approved knowledge, STEM reasoning, and human-centered learning.

2. Information we may collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect information such as prompts, chat messages, model inputs, model outputs, trainer code activity, source content, agent configuration details, testing content, contact information, technical logs, usage information, browser information, device information, and timestamps.

If you contact us by email, we may receive your email address and any information you choose to include in your message.

3. How we may use information

We may use information to operate the website, provide AI agent features, display trained agents, test source-grounded answers, support trainer workflows, improve safety, troubleshoot issues, respond to questions, protect the service, and understand how visitors use the learning experience.

We may also use information to improve educational content, evaluate agent behavior, refine boundaries, and support responsible AI research and learning.

4. AI agents, prompts, and source content

When you use AI tools, your prompts, messages, selected agents, training content, source content, boundary rules, and outputs may be processed to provide the requested feature.

If you create or train an agent, the content you add may be used to operate, display, test, publish, improve, or support that agent experience.

Published agents may make approved source content available through the website experience. Do not publish content unless you are authorized to share it.

5. Third-party AI APIs and service providers

STEM AI Future Lab may use third-party AI model providers, API services, hosting services, infrastructure providers, analytics tools, security tools, and other software providers.

AI requests and responses may be processed by third-party providers depending on the selected model, provider, feature, or system configuration. These providers may have their own terms, privacy rules, retention rules, safety systems, review processes, and data handling practices.

We may change, add, remove, or switch providers or models to improve safety, quality, reliability, cost, or educational value.

6. Sensitive information warning

Users must not submit sensitive personal information, confidential information, private records, financial account details, health records, government identification numbers, passwords, API keys, secrets, or information they are not authorized to share.

AI tools should be used for learning and guidance. They should not be used to process private, confidential, regulated, safety-critical, medical, legal, financial, or emergency information without appropriate authorization and qualified human review.

7. Cookies, logs, and analytics

The website may use cookies, session storage, server logs, or similar technologies to operate the site, keep features working, protect the service, understand usage, or improve the visitor experience.

If analytics or additional tracking tools are added, they should be used in a limited and responsible way consistent with this policy.

8. Retention

Information may be kept for as long as needed to operate the website, provide agent features, maintain published agents, troubleshoot issues, support safety review, comply with legal obligations, or improve the research and learning experience.

Some information may be removed, archived, unpublished, or deleted when it is no longer needed or when a responsible operator decides it should no longer be available.

9. Safeguards

We aim to use reasonable safeguards to protect the website, training content, agent content, and user-submitted information. No website, AI provider, API, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. User choices and access requests

Users may contact STEM AI Future Lab to ask questions about privacy, request information about submitted content, or ask for review or removal of content where appropriate.

We may need to verify the request and may not be able to fulfill requests that are unreasonable, unauthorized, technically impossible, legally restricted, or inconsistent with safety and integrity needs.

11. Children, students, and learning contexts

STEM AI Future Lab is designed for public learning and responsible AI education. If students or minors use the website in a school, program, counselling, community, or family context, a responsible adult, educator, counsellor, institution, or guardian should guide appropriate use.

Users should not submit private student records, confidential educational records, health information, or sensitive child information through public AI tools.

12. International processing

Third-party providers, hosting systems, APIs, or infrastructure may process information in locations outside your province, state, or country. Those locations may have different privacy and data protection rules.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy

STEM AI Future Lab may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updated versions may be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the website after updates means the updated policy applies.
