Effective Date: March 22, 2026
1. Overview
Project Launchpad ("Scholastica Codex") is a free, open-source educational platform that distributes curricular resources including textbooks, study guides, quizzes, flashcards, mind maps, slide decks, and video content. This privacy policy describes what data is collected, how it is used, and your rights.
2. Information We Collect
We do not collect personal information. This site is a static website hosted on GitHub Pages. We do not use cookies, tracking pixels, analytics services, or advertising networks. There are no user accounts, logins, or registration forms.
If you interact with embedded Google Forms quizzes, your responses are governed by Google's Privacy Policy. Quiz responses are anonymous unless you voluntarily provide identifying information.
3. YouTube API Services
This project uses the YouTube Data API v3 to upload and organize educational video content on our YouTube channel. By using this service, we adhere to the YouTube API Services Terms of Service.
Our use of the YouTube API is limited to:
- Uploading original educational videos we generate
- Creating and managing playlists for course organization
- Applying metadata (titles, descriptions, tags) to our own videos
We do not access, store, or process any YouTube user data. We do not scrape YouTube content. We do not provide tools for downloading YouTube videos. Our OAuth2 credentials are used solely to authenticate our own channel for uploading our own content.
Google's Privacy Policy applies to all YouTube API Services: https://policies.google.com/privacy
4. Third-Party Services
This site links to or embeds content from the following third-party services:
- YouTube (video hosting) — Google Privacy Policy
- Google Forms (self-grading quizzes) — Google Privacy Policy
- GitHub Pages (site hosting) — GitHub Privacy Statement
- Google Fonts (typography) — Google Fonts Privacy
5. Data Retention
We do not retain any user data. OAuth2 tokens used for YouTube API access are stored locally on the developer's machine and are never transmitted to third parties, stored on servers, or included in the open-source repository.
6. Children's Privacy
While our educational content is designed for students of various ages, this website does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our YouTube videos are marked as "not made for kids" under COPPA because the educational level targets high school and above.
7. Open Source Transparency
The source code for this distribution platform is publicly available on GitHub:
- Distribution site: project-launchpad
All curricular products (textbooks, study guides, quizzes, flashcards, videos) are distributed for free under CC BY-SA 4.0.
8. Revoking Access
If you have authorized our application via Google OAuth2 and wish to revoke access, you can do so at any time through your Google Account Permissions page.

10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy as our project evolves. Changes will be committed to the public repository with full version history.
