Privacy & Data Protection

Your family's data, handled with care

Plain-language explanation of what we collect, why, and the rights you and your child have.

Last updated: February 2026

1. Who we are

AI First Club (“we”, “us”, “our”) is an education program teaching young people aged 10–17 to think, create, and build with AI. We are currently in a pre-launch phase, collecting expressions of interest from families through our waitlist and free open lessons.

For any question about your data, you can reach us at [email protected].

2. What we collect

We only ask for what we need to contact you and prepare a good first experience for your child:

  • Parent or guardian name and email address.
  • Child's first name and age.
  • Optional messaging contact (Telegram or WhatsApp) if you choose to share it instead of email only.
  • Your reasons for joining, an optional project idea, and — for open lessons — the main question you'd like us to cover.
  • City and timezone, so we can schedule sessions sensibly.

We do not ask for sensitive information, and we never require more than the fields marked as required.

3. Children's data & parental consent

Our program is for children, so protecting their data is central to how we work. Sign-ups are made by a parent or guardian, and we ask for explicit, opt-in consent before collecting any details — the consent box is never pre-ticked.

By submitting the form, the parent or guardian confirms they have the authority to share their child's information. We aim to meet the standards of children's privacy frameworks including the EU/UK GDPR (including Article 8 on children's consent), the US Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and Russian Federal Law No. 152-FZ. A parent or guardian can withdraw consent or ask us to delete their child's data at any time.

4. How we use your data

  • To contact you about early access, open lessons, and program updates.
  • To personalise your child's first lesson using the interests or project idea you share.
  • To organise groups, schedules, and session reminders.

We do not sell your data, and we do not use children's personal data to train AI models.

6. Where your data is stored

Your data is stored securely with our hosting and infrastructure providers. As we finalise operations, we will confirm storage locations and, where required by law — including data-localisation rules under Russian Federal Law No. 152-FZ — arrange for data of residents to be recorded on servers within the relevant jurisdiction. Please contact us if you have specific requirements.

7. How long we keep it

We keep waitlist and open-lesson details only as long as needed to follow up with you about the program, or until you ask us to delete them. When information is no longer needed, we remove it.

8. Who we share it with

We share data only with trusted service providers who help us run the program (for example, hosting and communication tools), and only to the extent needed to provide the service. These providers are required to protect your data and use it only on our instructions. We may disclose data if legally required to do so.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you or your child.
  • Correct data that is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • Delete your data (“right to be forgotten”).
  • Withdraw consent at any time.
  • Object to or restrict how we use your data.
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.

10. Changes to this policy

As we move from pre-launch to enrollment, this policy will be reviewed and updated. When we make meaningful changes, we will update the date at the top and, where appropriate, let you know directly.
