Privacy policy

Last updated: 13 November 2026

Rookie Academy is a free learning platform made by the robotics team Fizmat.Robotics (FIRST Tech Challenge #28061). This page explains what data the platform stores, who can see it and how to delete it.

What we store

  • Account: your email address and password (the password is stored only as a secure hash), the display name you choose, your role and language.
  • Learning progress: completed lessons, quiz scores and which quiz questions you answered correctly, game results and ticked checklist items.
  • What you create: portfolio entries and photos, CAD work links and notes, strategy plans.
  • Team: which team you belong to.

What we do not collect

We do not ask for your date of birth, school, phone number or address. There is no advertising, and we never sell or share your data for marketing.

Who can see your data

  • You — everything in your account.
  • Your team members — your display name, lesson progress, CAD work and the portfolio entries you choose to share with the team.
  • Your team's coach (the person who created the team) — additionally your checklists, quiz answers and game results, and they can comment on your CAD work.
  • Your email address is never shown to other users.

Where the data is kept

  • Supabase — the database and file storage for accounts, progress and portfolio photos.
  • Vercel — hosts the website and collects anonymous visit statistics without cookies.
  • YouTube — lesson videos are embedded in privacy-enhanced mode; YouTube receives data only after you press play.

Cookies and browser storage

We use only the cookies needed to keep you signed in and to remember your language. Game records and some settings are kept in your browser's local storage and never leave your device.

Children

The platform is made for school robotics teams. If you are under 16, sign up only with the permission of a parent or guardian — ideally together with them or your team coach.

Keeping and deleting your data

We keep your data while your account exists. You can change your name in Settings, and you can delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account. Deletion is immediate and removes your profile, progress, portfolio (including photos), CAD work and strategy plans. Our hosting providers may keep encrypted backups for a short period before they expire.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
