AI and Educational Information Disclaimer

1. Purpose and human review

ClinBound LLC provides educational organization and practice tools. No readiness result, school comparison, AI answer, or interview grade predicts or guarantees admission. AI can invent details, misunderstand records, repeat bias, omit important context, or sound confident when wrong. Review important output against official sources and qualified human advice.

This service does not provide medical care, emergency help, or licensed professional advice. Do not use study questions or generated answers to diagnose or treat a patient. Readiness is an explainable planning/completeness measure, and GPA calculations are estimates rather than an institution’s official record.

2. What each AI feature sends

Generative features use Anthropic through ClinBound’s servers after the relevant permission. Pro access and usage limits apply.

• AI Advisor: your messages and conversation context, plus your track and school year, your GPA and science GPA, your most recent test score (marked when it is a practice score), your logged hours in each category, and the schools on your list with their cited figures. When you choose “Review an essay” and pick one — your personal statement, a secondary essay, or a text draft in Documents — the full text of that one essay is also sent. Anything you paste into a message is sent as part of that message. It does not receive uploaded files or your letters of recommendation.
• Transcript import: the PDF, image, or pasted text you provide, including personal information appearing in it.
• Experience import: the supplied resume, activity log, image, or pasted text.
• School list import: the screenshot, photo, PDF, or pasted text of the school list you provide. If you send a screenshot of an application portal, everything visible in that image is sent, which can include your name, your application identifiers, statuses, and fees. Only the school names read from it are used, and matching those to ClinBound schools happens on our servers.
• Generated plans: your track, school year, intended application cycle and today’s date; your GPA and test scores, labelled where they are self-reported or practice; the names of the courses you have in progress; your readiness snapshot including its component measures; your hour goals and your logged hours by category; how many words your personal statement currently has and when you last edited it; how many secondary essays you have on file and the status of each letter request; the stage of each application you track; your saved schools and how you categorised them; and the titles of the plan items you already have open, so it does not repeat them. The text of your essays, personal statement, documents and letters is not sent by this feature — only the counts and dates described here.
• Monthly targets: your track, your intended application cycle, and one line for each active goal giving its current value, its target, and whether you are on pace. These can be generated during ordinary use once you enable AI, rather than only when you open something.
• Interview feedback: the answer text, question, and scoring context. Personalized question text can include organizations, courses, or people from your records. The grader receives text, not your playback audio; it does not assess voice, accent, facial expression, or clinical competence.

Rule-based GPA, readiness, manual planning calculations, and "From your file" question generation do not themselves call a generative model. Asking for feedback on a personalized question is a separate AI request.

3. Permission, retention, and alternatives

Review the disclosure before enabling AI. You can decline and use manual features, and you can turn AI off at any time in Settings → AI features, which stops anything further being sent, including monthly targets. Turning it off does not recall information already sent or cancel your subscription. Uploaded information is not automatically anonymized: remove patient information, unrelated identifiers, confidential letters, or material you lack permission to share.

Other people in your records are handled differently depending on the feature. When generating a plan, we replace the names of supervisors you have logged with placeholders before the request and put the real names back in the result, so those names stay on our servers; the organization and the kind of experience are still sent. We do not do this where a name is part of the content itself: a resume, transcript, or list you import is sent as you supplied it, and a practice interview question generated from your own records can contain a supervisor’s name. Remove anything you lack permission to share before importing it.

Anthropic’s commercial API does not use inputs or outputs for model training by default. Retention is governed by its applicable commercial policies and configuration, including safety and legal exceptions. We do not promise zero retention, complete anonymity, or immediate erasure of an individual provider request. See the Privacy Policy for the provider links and information categories.

4. Recording is different from transcription and feedback

Recording starts automatically when you begin an answer, unless you deny microphone access, in which case practice continues by typing. That playback audio stays in temporary device storage and is not uploaded by ClinBound to its servers or Anthropic. Cleanup is attempted when you discard or leave the take; device failures can delay deletion.

When speech recognition is enabled, the device or browser speech provider may transmit audio to Apple, Google, or another speech provider. Typing avoids that speech transfer. Both typed and transcribed answer text can still be saved to your ClinBound account when you finish; choosing AI feedback additionally sends that text and its question to Anthropic.

5. School information and study content

"Verified school data" means checked against an identified source at the recorded time, not verified forever or endorsed by the school. Historical admissions statistics describe a past cohort. Information marked as AI-generated is model output and should not be treated as independently expert-reviewed merely because it appears in ClinBound.

Practice questions, passages, and interview prompts include AI-drafted supplementary material. The bank has not completed independent subject-matter-expert review. It is not official MCAT or DAT preparation and is not endorsed by AAMC, ADA, ADEA, an application service, or a school. Supplement it with official materials. Report suspected errors rather than memorizing a disputed key as fact.

Imports are drafts for your review. Verify every grade, credit unit, date, organization, and hour total before saving or submitting it elsewhere. Schools and application services decide their own classifications and eligibility rules.

6. Authorship and questions

Follow your school’s, employer’s, examination body’s, and application service’s current rules on AI use, authorship, disclosure, and confidentiality. Do not submit fabricated experiences, stolen exam content, or AI-written application essays contrary to those rules. Keep your original work and verify any factual claim.

The limitations in this disclosure do not waive our legal responsibilities or your mandatory rights. Report inaccurate information or ask a question at support@clinbound.com.
