How Tutorops handles student data

A plain-language explanation of what we collect, why we use it, who can access it, and how your college stays in control.

Last updated: 31 August 2026

Your college controls its student data

Student data uploaded by a college is used to provide Tutorops to that college. We do not sell student data, use it for advertising, or make one college's records available to another college.

What we collect

The data Tutorops processes

Only what the product needs. Everything below is either uploaded by your college or produced by the platform.

Student information (uploaded by your college)

Name, student ID or roll number, department or branch, batch and graduation year, CGPA, number of backlogs, and college email address if you include it. A phone number column is accepted but is never exported or shown to recruiters.

Assessment and readiness information (produced by Tutorops)

Assessment answers and scores, skill levels derived from those answers, readiness scores per job role, skill gaps, and intervention plans and their status.

Account information

The placement officer's name, email address, phone number if provided, and a hashed password. College name, type, city, state and approximate size.

Technical information

A session cookie to keep you signed in. An audit log recording significant actions — sign-in, imports, exports, payment events — with the acting user and the IP address the request came from. Standard web server logs kept by our hosting provider.

What we do not collect

No student home addresses, family details, identity numbers, photographs, biometric data, health information or financial information. Tutorops has no field for any of these and no tracking or advertising cookies.

Why we use it

Purposes for processing

  • Calculating role-specific readiness scores
  • Identifying and ranking skill gaps
  • Generating intervention plans and tracking their progress
  • Producing recruiter shortlists, when your college chooses to generate one
  • Department and cohort reporting for your placement office
  • Operating, securing and supporting the platform, and processing subscriptions
We do not use student data for advertising, and we do not use one college's student data to build products or models for anyone else.
Artificial intelligence

How AI is used — and where it is not

No student data is sent to an external AI provider today. Readiness scores, eligibility, skill levels, gap severity and intervention plans are calculated by deterministic arithmetic inside Tutorops. No language model takes part in any of them.

The one AI feature we are building reads a recruiter's job description into a draft requirement list. When that ships, the text sent to the AI provider is the job description itself — no student records, names or scores — and a person at your college confirms the result before anything is saved. If that ever changes, this notice changes with it before the feature goes live.

Access

Who can see your data

Your college has its own workspace

Student records are isolated by college. Users signed in to one college cannot reach another college's students, scores or exports through the application. We use access controls and tenant-level isolation on every query to enforce this.

Recruiters receive only what your college shares

Tutorops never sends student information to a recruiter. A shortlist file is created only when someone at your college generates one, and you choose what to do with it. The export contains name, student ID, department, batch, CGPA, backlogs, readiness and skill evidence. Phone numbers and personal email addresses are excluded by an allow-list in the code — not by a setting that can be switched on.

Service providers

Tutorops relies on a small number of providers to operate: our hosting provider, who stores the database and serves the site; Razorpay, which processes subscription payments and receives your billing details, not student data; and email delivery for account messages such as password resets. Our pages also load fonts from Google's font service, which means Google can see the IP address of a visiting browser. Providers process information only as needed to deliver their service.

Assessment links

How student assessment links work

Each student receives a unique link containing a random token, so students do not need to create an account. A link belongs to one student and one assessment, and can be submitted once — after submission it shows that student's result and cannot be used to answer again.

What this means for you. Links do not currently expire, and anyone holding an unused link could complete that student's assessment. Treat links as confidential, the way you would an exam hall pass, and do not use these scores for a decision a student could formally contest until proctoring is in place. Time-limited links and proctoring are on our roadmap.
Retention and deletion

How long we keep data

We keep your college's data for as long as your account is active and we need it to provide the service, and after that for as long as required for security, accounting or dispute resolution. If a subscription lapses, the account falls back to the free plan and your data stays where it is — nothing is deleted automatically.

Your college can ask us to delete its data at any time. Write to privacy@tutorops.com from an official college address and we will confirm when it is done. You can also ask for a copy of what we hold, or for a correction to it.

Security

How we protect it

Passwords are stored as one-way hashes and never in readable form. Password reset links are stored hashed, expire after an hour and work once. Every database query uses parameterised statements, forms are protected against cross-site request forgery, and every tenant-owned query is filtered by college. Significant actions are written to an audit log. Traffic is served over HTTPS.

We describe what we actually do rather than using phrases like "bank-grade security". Our security practices are set out in full here →
