Terms & Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

1. Who We Are

Kovalent is a student productivity platform built by KOVA Technologies, designed to help Nigerian university students manage their courses, notes, assignments, study schedules, and academic progress, with the support of AI-powered study tools.

2. Acceptance of These Terms

By creating an account on Kovalent, you agree to these Terms and to our handling of your data as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not create an account or use the platform.

3. Who Can Use Kovalent

Kovalent is intended for university students. By signing up, you confirm that the information you provide (name, email, and any academic details such as your institution, department, level, or matriculation number) is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

4. What Information We Collect

To provide the service, we collect:

5. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to operate and improve Kovalent — to display your courses, notes, and assignments, generate study plans, track your progress, and enable the AI study tools. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

6. AI Features & Third-Party Processing

Kovalent's AI tools (summarization, quiz generation, study planning, and Q&A) are powered by Google's Gemini AI. When you use these features, the relevant text or uploaded material is sent to Google's API to generate a response. Please avoid uploading highly sensitive personal information beyond what's needed for your coursework. AI-generated content (summaries, quizzes, explanations, study plans) is provided to support your learning and may occasionally contain errors — always verify important information independently, especially before an exam or submission deadline.

7. Your Content

You retain ownership of the materials you upload and the content you create (notes, assignments, uploaded files). You're responsible for ensuring you have the right to upload any material you share on the platform.

8. Account Security

You're responsible for keeping your password confidential and for any activity that happens under your account. If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

9. Data Storage & Retention

Your data is stored on secure, industry-standard cloud infrastructure. We take real, active steps to protect it — including encrypted passwords, rate-limited login protection, and regular security monitoring — but as with any online service, we recommend keeping your own copies of critical academic work where possible.

10. Deleting Your Account

You can permanently delete your account and associated data at any time from Settings. This action is irreversible — once deleted, your courses, notes, assignments, and other data cannot be recovered.

11. Acceptable Use

Please don't use Kovalent to upload harmful, illegal, or infringing content, attempt to access other users' data, or interfere with the platform's normal operation. We reserve the right to suspend accounts that violate these terms.

12. Service Availability

We work to keep Kovalent reliable and available, but as with any software, occasional issues or brief downtime can happen — especially as we continue building and improving the platform. We don't guarantee uninterrupted access or that AI-generated content will always be perfectly accurate, so please use your judgment for anything academically important.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as Kovalent develops and new features are added. Significant changes will be communicated to users where practical.

14. Contact

Questions about these Terms or your data can be directed to KOVA Technologies through the contact details available in the app.

Thank you for trusting Kovalent with your academic work. We built this for students, and your feedback genuinely shapes what we build next.
