Using StudyTrellis

Terms of use

Effective November 9, 2026

These terms describe use of the StudyTrellis information website and its invited private desktop-collector pilot. The pilot is independently operated by the site owner. Invited participants can contact the operator through their existing private support channel.

Current scope

StudyTrellis currently gathers authorized school notices, teacher instructions, and linked files, records source checks, and can send authorized operational failure alerts through a separate personal Gmail connection. Public registration, paid subscriptions, and a publicly hosted tutor service are not currently offered. Additional study-support features remain in development.

Authorized use

Pilot access is limited to invited adult account holders. Use only accounts and materials you are permitted to access. Follow your school's rules, Google's applicable terms, and any copyright or confidentiality obligations attached to school material. Do not use the application to access another person's account without permission, bypass restrictions, or distribute private student information.

You remain responsible for deciding which accounts to connect, protecting the computer and backups, and reviewing material before it is used or shared. Do not submit credentials, school files, or children's information through this public website.

Educational responsibilities

The collector supports organization and source preparation. A collected source is not proof of full curriculum coverage, a completed study pack, assignment completion, or student mastery. Confirm assessment scope and due dates against the teacher's current instructions. Study support must preserve the child's authorship and comply with independent-work rules.

Availability and limitations

The local pilot depends on an available computer, a signed-in Windows user where required, network access, valid Google authorization, and accessible school sources. Sources may change or disappear, extraction may be incomplete, and errors may occur. The pilot does not guarantee uninterrupted monitoring, email delivery, assessment results, or academic outcomes. Google and hosting services are operated by their respective providers.

Ownership and privacy

StudyTrellis does not acquire ownership of your documents or school materials. Their owners retain their rights. Use of account and operational data is described in the privacy policy. This independent pilot is not represented as an official service of any school or Google.

Stopping use and future changes

You may stop the collector, disable alerts, or revoke Google access at any time. Already collected material and sent messages require separate deletion as described in the privacy policy. The operator may change, suspend, or end the private pilot. A future public or paid service will require updated terms and data disclosures before it is offered.

The experimental pilot is provided as available, without a promise of fitness for a particular educational purpose. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or responsibilities that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.
