Collaboration with major corporations takes place under strictly regulated conditions that guarantee the protection of Estonian students’ data and interests. All data used by the app is stored on European Union servers and processed in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Chat content is not used for model training or commercial purposes, and partners have no right to copy or share this data.

The AI Leap Foundation and Estonian educational institutions retain data ownership and control what information the app collects and how it is analyzed. Every update or change made by a technology partner undergoes an independent ethical and data protection review before implementation to ensure that Estonian students are not test subjects but users of safe and transparent educational technology.

The AI Leap workspace follows the principle of “secure by default” – all system-level solutions are designed to minimize potential risks to students and schools. Students’ conversations are not accessible to teachers or schools (unless shared voluntarily) and are not used for model training – unlike free ChatGPT accounts that many students use daily.

When mental health topics arise, the model immediately directs students to Estonia’s official support services and trusted sources instead of attempting to act as a therapist. The foundation continuously analyzes workspace usage data (excluding personal data) to identify potential risks and to support the most frequently used and pedagogically effective learning methods.
