  • We do not record in the background or when the microphone button is not actively pressed.

  • Microphone permission is completely optional; you can type all questions and queries manually at any time.

5. AI Learning Assistant

Winroo offers an interactive AI learning assistant designed to provide clarifications, answer curriculum questions, and guide students through accelerator milestones.

  • When you ask a question, the text of your query and relevant course context are processed to produce helpful educational guidance.
  • Your queries are used exclusively to generate real-time learning responses for your session.
  • We advise users not to include sensitive personal details (such as government IDs or passwords) in study prompts.

6. Device & Account Security

To protect student accounts and keep educational materials safe from unauthorized access, Winroo implements standard security verifications:

  • Session Verification: We verify active login sessions to prevent credential theft and unauthorized simultaneous access across unrecognized devices.
  • App Integrity & Authenticity: On Android, we verify that the application installed on your device is an untampered, official release downloaded from Google Play.

  • Assessments & Quizzes: Answers, scores, and evaluation feedback to measure understanding.
  • Project Submissions: Project pitch materials, decks, and venture details submitted for mentor feedback and accelerator review.

8. Notifications & Alerts

With your permission, we send push notifications to your device for:

  • Important announcements regarding course updates and live sessions.
  • Responses to doubts or questions you submitted to mentors.
  • Reminders about upcoming project deadlines and program milestones.

You can disable or customize notification settings at any time in the app preferences or your device system settings.

9. App Performance & Diagnostics

When an unexpected error or application crash occurs, we may collect diagnostic technical details (such as the type of error, device model, operating system, and the screen where the problem occurred).

This diagnostic information is used exclusively by our engineering team to fix bugs, optimize loading times, and maintain platform stability. We do not use diagnostic logs for advertising.
