RealLives Simulation Privacy Policy

1. Our Privacy Commitment

RealLives Foundation is committed to protecting users — especially students — and designs its systems to minimize the collection and processing of personal information.

RealLives operates under two models:

  1. Core Simulation Access Model – minimal or no personal data collection.

  2. Institutional Deployment Model (e.g., RCMI or school-managed implementation) – limited student profile information may be maintained within the school-controlled environment for academic administration purposes.

In all cases:

  • RealLives does not sell personal data.

  • RealLives does not use personal data for advertising.

  • RealLives does not monetize user data.

  • RealLives does not engage in cross-institutional data sharing.


2. Core Simulation Model – Minimal Data Processing

Under standard access use:

RealLives does not collect or process:

  • Biometric data

  • Behavioral tracking data for marketing

  • Advertising identifiers

  • Location tracking data

  • Cross-platform tracking information

Where individual login credentials are required, only the minimum necessary identification data is used to enable secure access.


3. Institutional Deployment (School-Controlled Profiles)

In certain school or university implementations (including RCMI-based deployments), student profile information may be maintained within the institutional database environment.

Such information may include:

  • Student name

  • Institutional identifier (e.g., roll number or student ID assigned by the school)

  • Class or course enrollment information

  • Academic progress within the simulation

Important safeguards:

  • The educational institution acts as the primary data controller.

  • Profile data is stored within the school’s authorized environment.

  • Data is accessible only to authorized school administrators and teachers.

  • RealLives Foundation does not access, analyze, or commercially exploit this data beyond providing technical functionality.

  • No cross-school data sharing occurs.

  • No aggregation across institutions occurs.

Purpose of Processing:

  • Academic administration

  • Classroom facilitation

Retention:

  • Data may be deleted upon institutional request or contract termination


4. No Commercial Third-Party Sharing

  • Sell personal data
