You are solely responsible for the content you enter into grovio. You represent that you have the right to any photos, text, or other materials you upload, and that Your Content does not violate any third party’s rights.
Portfolio Sharing
grovio allows you to create shareable links to portfolio entries. When you generate a sharing link, anyone who has that link can view the shared portfolio content. You control who you share links with, and you can deactivate any sharing link at any time within the app.
grovio also offers a feature to generate branded share cards from portfolio entries for posting to social media. When you use this feature, the generated image may include your learner’s first name, subject, date, your written description, and grovio branding (the grovio wordmark and tagline). By using this feature, you agree that:
- You are responsible for deciding what content to share and where to share it
- You have the right to share any photos included in the generated card
- grovio is not responsible for how third parties use content you share publicly
- The grovio branding on share cards may not be removed or altered
AI-Powered Features
grovio offers optional AI-powered features, including weekly learning summaries and monthly narrative reviews. When you choose to use these features, certain data from your portfolio entries (titles and descriptions) is sent to Anthropic, PBC (the provider of the Claude AI model) to generate the summary.
AI-generated content is provided for your convenience and personal use. grovio does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness of any AI-generated content. You should review all AI-generated summaries before sharing or relying on them.
AI features are entirely opt-in. They only run when you actively choose to use them. If you do not use these features, no data is sent to Anthropic.
For more detail on how data is handled in AI features, please see our Privacy Policy.
