Privacy Center

Brisk is the safest AI platform in education — engineered from the ground up to protect sensitive data and uphold every privacy regulation that matters to your school.

How Brisk works — and why schools trust us

Brisk is the safest AI tool built for education. Brisk only activates when a teacher chooses to use it. It doesn’t run in the background, track activity, or store what you’re working on. Every interaction is intentional, secure, and designed to protect both teachers and students.

An extension is a small add-on that runs inside your Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser. It expands what the browser can do. Educators often use extensions to check grammar, block ads, or save resources with a single click.

Brisk is an extension, too — but what makes it different is how seamlessly it fits into a teacher’s existing workflow. It’s not another platform to manage or learn. Brisk lives where teachers already work — in their browser, on the sites they’re already using — and offers time-saving support only when they need it.

And while it’s embedded in the browser, Brisk stays inactive unless the teacher chooses to use it.

When you install Brisk, Chrome shows a standard warning:

“This extension can read and change all your data on all websites.”

We know — that sounds intense. But this is the same warning Chrome shows for any extension that interacts with web content. In Brisk’s case, it simply means:

Brisk can access content only when a teacher actively uses it

Brisk never makes changes unless you specifically request it

Brisk does not collect or modify anything on its own

Brisk was built with school privacy standards in mind from the start. Here's how we protect teachers and students:

All data is encrypted — whether it’s being sent or stored

Routine security audits — to maintain strong protections

Automatic logouts — after 30 days of inactivity

Brisk also supports secure, school-friendly login methods:

Google OAuth 2.0 — a trusted standard for secure sign-ins

Magic Link login — password-free access via a secure email link

Once logged in, Brisk uses a browser cookie to identify your session. This is a standard, secure practice — and you can clear it at any time.
