Privacy Policy
menostream.online
Last updated: 22 February 2026
1. Who We Are
This privacy policy applies to menostream.online (the 'Site'). The Site is operated as an educational platform designed to provide learning materials to students.
For any questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, please contact us at:
2. Our Commitment to Your Privacy
We take your privacy seriously. This Site has been designed with data minimisation in mind. We collect only the minimum personal information necessary to provide you access to educational content. We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
3. Who Uses This Site
This Site is used by students of mixed ages, including those under the age of 18.
If you are a student under the age of 13, we ask that your parent or guardian reviews this privacy policy. By using this Site, you confirm that a parent or guardian has given their consent for you to do so.
4. What Data We Collect and Why
4.1 Account Information (via Wix)
This Site is built on the Wix platform. When you create an account to access the Site, Wix automatically collects and stores:
-
Your email address
-
Your name (if you register using a Google account)
-
Your profile photo (if you register using a Google account)
-
Date of account creation and last login
This information is held by Wix and is subject to Wix's own Privacy Policy, which can be found at www.wix.com/about/privacy. We have entered into a Data Processing Agreement with Wix to ensure your data is handled appropriately under UK GDPR.
4.2 Email Domain Verification
To ensure only authorised students can access the Site, we check that your email address ends with an approved school domain (e.g. @yourschool.ac.uk). This check happens automatically when you sign up. We do not store your email address ourselves - it is held securely by Wix.
4.3 AI Text Simplification
The Site includes a feature that allows you to paste complex text and receive a simplified version powered by artificial intelligence (OpenAI GPT-4o mini). When you use this feature:
-
The text you paste is sent to OpenAI's servers for processing
-
OpenAI processes the text and returns a simplified version
-
We do not store the text you paste or the simplified results
-
OpenAI's use of this data is governed by their own privacy policy and data retention terms
For more information about OpenAI's data handling, see: https://openai.com/privacy
4.4 What We Do NOT Collect
We do NOT collect, store or process:
-
Your full name (unless provided via Google account)
-
Your date of birth
-
Your home address
-
Your phone number
-
Notes or work you create on the Site
-
Your browsing history on the Site
5. Our Legal Basis for Processing Your Data
Under UK GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing personal data. Our lawful bases are:
-
Legitimate interests - to operate the educational platform and verify that only authorised students can access it
-
Consent - where we rely on consent, for example for users under 13 where parental consent is required
We process only the minimum data necessary to fulfil these purposes.
6. How We Share Your Data
We do not sell your personal data to any third party. Your data may be shared with:
-
Wix - as our platform provider, who processes data on our behalf under a Data Processing Agreement
-
OpenAI - only when you actively use the text simplification feature
We do not share your data with any other third parties.
7. How Long We Keep Your Data
Your email address and account information is kept by Wix for as long as you have an active account. When you delete your account, Wix will delete your personal data in accordance with their data retention policy.
We do not store any of your personal data independently - all data is held by Wix.
8. Your Rights

-
Right to access - you can request a copy of the data we hold about you
-
Right to rectification - you can ask us to correct inaccurate data
