This policy describes how Pockless, Inc. (“we”, “us”), a Delaware corporation, handles information when you use Bord. Bord is a noteboard: an infinite notebook and whiteboard in one, with AI that works on the board. Its AI can use the board’s contents to write, draw, explain, teach, quiz, and research alongside you. You can use it as a guest, or sign in with Google. A guest board stays on your device. Signing in also saves it to your account.
Stays hereGuest boards live in this browser.
Sent when you askThe agent sees the board only to help.
Public when sharedAnyone with a share link can view it.
Safe for learnersNo ads, no selling, no cross-site tracking.
01Boards stay on your device, then on your account
Drawings, text, notes, prompts, quiz answers, and images are stored in this browser first. Signing in saves those boards to your account, including a later rename, so you can open them when you sign in on another device. A board from someone who never signs in is not uploaded. Clearing this site’s data removes the copy on that device. If the board was saved to an account, signing in brings it back. If it was only a guest board, we cannot restore it.

Bord serversYour account’s boards, and each request

AI providersAgent, voice, files, research, images
A guest board is sent to our servers only when you ask the agent to work on it: to write, teach, quiz, grade, research, speak, name the board, or generate an image. Once you sign in, your boards also sync to your account, and you can publish a share link. Files you add and lectures you record go to our servers so Bord can read them, which needs an account.
02Children and young learners
Bord supports learning, and students of all ages use it, including children. A learner can use Bord fully as a guest, with no account, no name, and no email address. We collect only what a feature needs to work, and we do not ask for a learner’s age, school, or location.
Under 13Use Bord with a parent, guardian, or teacher, and stay a guest. Do not sign in or publish share links. An adult should decide whether to turn on voice, research, or images, because those send what the child types, says, or draws to our AI providers. Adding files and recording lectures need an account, so they are not for under-13s.
13 to 17You can use Bord as a guest. To sign in, you need permission from a parent or guardian if you are under the age of digital consent where you live, which is up to 16 in some countries.
Schools and teachersIf you bring Bord into a class, you are responsible for getting any consent your students need, and for keeping children under 13 in guest mode. Write to us before a class rollout.
Keep it off the boardPlease do not put a child’s full name, address, school, phone number, or photo on a board, in a prompt, or in a voice request.
For every learner, and especially for children, we do not:
show ads, or use anything on a board for advertising
sell or rent personal information
build advertising profiles of learners or track them across other websites
use your boards to train AI models
make a board public unless a signed-in user chooses to share it
The agent can make mistakes, research links go to websites we do not control, and generated images can be imperfect. Adults should supervise younger learners, especially when using research and image generation.
Parents and guardians
Ask us what personal information we hold about your child.
Ask us to delete it, including an account or a shared snapshot.
Withdraw your permission, and we will stop collecting information from that account.
Delete guest boards yourself from the board menu or by clearing this site’s data. Those boards stay on the device, so we never receive them unless the child signs in or the agent is asked to work on them.
Write to [email protected] with the subject “Parent request.” We may ask you to confirm that you are the child’s parent or guardian before we act. If we learn that we collected personal information from a child under 13 without the permission the law requires, we will delete it.
03Information we collect
Depending on how you use Bord, we may process:
Account. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile image, and we store an encrypted sign-in token so the session can continue. We do not ask for Google Drive or any other access to your Google account. A session cookie keeps you signed in in this browser, and the session record includes the IP address and browser type it started from.
Weekly allowance. Every plan has a weekly allowance. To count it, we record what each agent, picture, and voice request cost and which board it was for. A guest gets a random identifier in a first-party cookie. We also keep a keyed hash of the guest’s IP address, never the address itself, so the guest allowance can’t be reset just by opening a private window. Signed-in usage is tied to your account instead. When a guest signs in, that week’s guest usage moves to the account, so signing in doesn’t reset the allowance.
Billing. If you subscribe, Stripe collects your payment details, billing address, and email to take the payment. We never receive your full card number. We keep the Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, your plan, whether it is billed monthly or yearly, and when it renews or ends.
Board content you send to the agent. A request to write, teach, quiz, grade, research, title, or illustrate includes what you asked, any board items you mention, recent conversation, the current board document, and a picture of the area on screen. That can include anything you drew or typed, and your quiz answers. When a question needs current facts, the agent may search the web with a query based on your request.
Voice and dictation. Starting voice or dictation asks the browser for the microphone. Voice audio in a live lesson is streamed for that session, and Bord does not keep a recording of it. A transcript is used to run the lesson. Dictation uses your browser’s speech recognition: Bord receives the transcript, and your browser may send the audio to its own speech service.
Lecture recordings. Live Notes records the room through your microphone while you choose. Every minute or two the latest audio is sent to be transcribed so notes can be added to the board; those pieces are not stored. If you are offline, the audio waits in this browser until it can be sent. When you stop, the whole recording is saved to your account as an audio file on that board, like a file you added. Record only where you have permission to.
Files you add. Signed-in users can add PDFs, images, audio, and video to a board. We store each file privately, check it for malware, and read it so the agent can use it: we extract and index its text, transcribe its speech, describe its pictures and video frames, cut out its figures, and plan lessons from it. The index, figures, lesson plan, and your progress through its lessons are kept with the file.
Shared snapshots. If you are signed in and choose Share, anyone with the link can open that snapshot. Later edits sync to your account, and the link stays on the last snapshot until you share again. When you first share a board, search engines may also index it and it may appear on Bord’s Explore page with your profile picture and the date you shared it. On Pro and Max, you can turn that off in the share panel. Boards shared before this option existed stay out of search unless you turn it on.
Technical data. Server logs may include request timing, model usage, error status, and identifiers used to operate and debug the service. Research logs omit your prompt, the report text, source URLs, and credentials.
Product analytics. We use PostHog to see how Bord is used: events such as opening a board, choosing a mode, sending a request, signing in, or reaching a limit, along with the page, browser, and campaign tags in the link you followed. A guest is counted under a random identifier. When you sign in, we link those events to your account ID, name, and email. We also record sessions to find problems. Those recordings capture page layout and clicks, with all text replaced by asterisks and the board, images, audio, video, and form fields left out. Analytics doesn’t run if your browser sends Do Not Track.
04How we use it
We use this information to:
operate the board, your account, and share links
count your weekly allowance and run your subscription
keep you signed in
let the agent see the board and respond
read, transcribe, and index the files and lectures you add, and plan lessons from them
grade quizzes, and generate illustrations, titles, and research when you ask
understand how Bord is used, so we can fix problems and improve it
keep the service secure and diagnose failures
The big ideaWe do not sell your personal information.
05Processors and third parties
GoogleHandles sign-in.
OpenAIThe board agent, teaching, quizzes and grading, web search, research, voice, titles, and shortened prompt history, with stored response sessions turned off.
OpenRouterReading, transcribing, and indexing files and lectures, ranking search results, planning lessons, and illustrations. It routes each request to a model provider, such as OpenAI, Google, ElevenLabs, or Cohere.
SupabaseOur database and private file storage: accounts, sessions, saved boards, shared snapshots, files and their index, lesson progress, preferences, and usage.
RailwayHosts the Bord app and the services that read your files.
PostHogProduct analytics and masked session recordings.
StripeSubscriptions, payments, invoices, and the billing portal.
OpenAI, OpenRouter, and the model providers it routes to may still retain data under their own terms, including for abuse prevention. Removing a picture’s background runs in your browser with a model downloaded from IMG.LY; if your browser can’t, the picture is sent to our servers instead. Research can search the public web and link to pages we do not control. Anyone who has a share link can view that snapshot. A clone of a shared board is a separate copy on that person’s device.
06Retention
Local board
Stays in the browser until you delete it or clear site data.
Account and session
Kept while the account is in use. Signing out ends the session in that browser.
Usage and billing
Usage is kept while it counts toward an allowance and for our own accounting. Billing records are kept as long as tax and accounting law requires, even after an account is deleted.
Files and lecture recordings
Kept with your account until you remove them from your boards. Removing a file deletes it, its figures, and its index. Files that fail our checks are deleted straight away.
Product analytics
Kept in PostHog for as long as we need it to understand and improve Bord, then deleted.
Shared snapshot
Stays at its link until you publish a replacement or we remove it.
Prompt summaries
Held in server memory during a long lesson and dropped when that server restarts.
Voice session
Ends when you disconnect, or after 30 minutes of continuous use.
07Your choices
Stay a guest and keep the board on this device.
Refuse the microphone; typing still works.
Turn on Do Not Track in your browser to keep analytics off.
Skip voice, research, image generation, files, and Live Notes if you do not want that content sent to a model.
Choose not to share.
To ask us to delete an account or a shared snapshot we store, write to [email protected]. We may keep information we need for security, to resolve a dispute, or to meet a legal duty.
08International
We may process information in the United States and in other countries where our providers operate. If you use Bord from elsewhere, you understand that data may be transferred to those locations.
09Changes
We will update this page when the policy changes and revise the date above. Continued use of Bord after an update means you accept the revised policy.
