Who we are

Focus Lab is a NanoSkool Education app at focus.nanoskool.com. You sign in with your NanoSkool account, which is shared with the other NanoSkool apps; each app keeps its own data, and Focus Lab never shares yours with them.

What we collect

Your name, how you sign in (email or phone) and the year you were born, which sets your age group.

What you do in Focus Lab: your self-check answers, focus sessions, programme days, the notes you write, and your chats with Fia.

Notes and reflections are encrypted when stored. We don't collect your location, contacts, messages or anything from your phone's other apps, and we never monitor your device.

What stays private

Your chats with Fia, your notes and your self-check answers are yours. Parents, schools and other NanoSkool apps never see them.

If you link a parent or carer, you choose what they can see (your profile levels, programme progress or focus minutes) and you can change or stop it at any time in Sharing.

When we might act to keep you safe

If something you write to Fia, or an answer in a self-check, suggests you or someone else might be in danger, Focus Lab shows you who to contact straight away and a trained member of the NanoSkool team is alerted. They see only the words that raised the alert, not your other chats.

If they believe someone is at serious risk, they may need to contact emergency services or follow child protection rules. Wherever it's safe to, we'll tell you first.

Fia and AI

Fia runs on Claude, made by Anthropic, which processes messages outside India. Fia receives your messages, your first name, your age group and your Focus Lab levels and focus history, only to answer you. Anthropic does not train its models on them.

No ads, no selling, no labels

We show no advertising, run no behavioural tracking and never sell or share your data. Nothing in Focus Lab is a diagnosis, and your information is never used to rank you, predict your marks or decide anything about school, college or jobs.

Your rights

Download everything we hold about you, or delete your account, from Account. Deleting removes your records permanently, except a security log and any safety record the law requires us to keep.

Where it is stored

On NanoSkool's servers in India, encrypted in transit. Backups are kept for seven days.
