For students

Privacy in simple words.

If you are a BrainyBots student, these are useful habits whenever you learn online or use AI.

1Keep private information private
Do not share passwords, your home address or payment details in AI tools or class activities.
2Ask an adult if you are unsure
If a website or tool asks for personal information and you are unsure why, check with a parent, guardian or teacher.
3Think before you share
Once information is shared online, it may be difficult to control where it goes.
