Privacy Policy & Zero-Audio-Storage Notice
Effective Date: October 28, 2026 • Applies to learningcenterusa.net and eteachershub.com
Microphone audio is processed ephemerally in volatile browser and stream memory for real-time PSTN simulation and WPM scoring. No raw audio files or voiceprints are ever written to disk.
Spoken SSNs, USCIS A-Numbers, payment card digits, emails, and phone numbers are deterministically masked in client RAM (< 0.4ms) before diagnostic rubric evaluation.
Practice scores, WPM history, and weekly schedules are stored locally in your browser's localStorage (lcu_progress_vault_v1) under your exclusive control.
1. Ephemeral Microphone & Voice Stream Processing (Cal. Penal Code § 632 & Illinois BIPA Safe Harbor)
When you click Start Call in the interactive Web-Phone simulator, your browser requests temporary microphone permission via the standard Web Audio and Web Speech APIs.
- No Recording Retention: In compliance with the California Invasion of Privacy Act (
Cal. Penal Code § 632) and the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (740 ILCS 14/), LearningCenterUsa.net does not record, archive, sell, or extract biometric voice identifiers from your microphone stream. - 12-Bar Waveform Monitor: The real-time acoustic level indicator operates exclusively via an in-memory browser
AnalyserNodeand is immediately garbage-collected when the call ends.
2. Zero-Trust Data Sanitization (ZTDS RFC v1.0 Architecture)
To protect learners who accidentally speak real personal details during mock USCIS, IRS, banking, or job interview drills, every transcript turn passes through our client-side ZTDS RFC v1.0 sanitization layer before any server-side rubric evaluation:
- Masked Patterns: U.S. Social Security Numbers (
[US_SSN_TOKEN_N]), USCIS Alien Registration Numbers ([USCIS_ANUM_TOKEN_N]), Payment Card Numbers ([CARD_PAN_TOKEN_N]), Email Addresses ([EMAIL_TOKEN_N]), and North American Phone Numbers outside the555-01XXfictional test range ([US_PHONE_TOKEN_N]). - Cryptographic Audit Verification: Each sanitized call generates a deterministic SHA-256 receipt verifiable against certificate
ZTDS-CERT-2026-LEARNINGCENTERUSA-38DDD1at /api/ztds-verify and /.well-known/ztds.json.
3. Local Browser Storage, Portable Pass Codes & Payments
- Zero-Account Progress: We do not require account registration or passwords for practice sessions. Your best scenario scores, WPM metrics, and streak days live inside your browser's
localStorageand can be cleared at any time via your browser settings. - Portable HMAC Pass Codes: Paid access passes (24-Hour Crash Pass, Unlimited Pro, and Personal American Friend) issue a stateless cryptographic token (
lcu_<tier>_<exp>_<sig>) that lets you restore access across desktop and mobile devices without storing a central user profile database. - Payment Processing: Checkout transactions are processed by PCI-DSS Level 1 merchant of record / payment processors. LearningCenterUsa.net never receives or stores full credit card numbers or CVV security codes.
