Introduction
FRQuick is a free AP essay grading tool. When you use the site, we collect some information to grade essays, keep your history, and run the service. This page describes what we collect, what we do with it, and what you can control.
Information we collect
When you submit an essay, we store the prompt, passage, and source documents (when applicable), your essay text, and the grading results and feedback we generate. We also store submission settings: AP subject, question type, and whether you mark a result public or private when you change sharing settings.
We assign you a random user ID in your browser's local storage. When we set a session, we also store a signed session cookie so we can link submissions to your history. If you create an account, we store the email address you provide for authentication. You can also grade one essay without creating an account.
For abuse prevention and rate limiting, we process technical data such as your IP address and request metadata.
Cookies
One essential cookie records whether you accepted analytics cookies or chose essential-only. It lasts up to 180 days.
Another essential session cookie links your browser to an anonymous user ID for submission history. It lasts up to one year.
Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity cookies load only if you click Accept on our cookie banner. Google Analytics measures site usage. Microsoft Clarity records how people interact with pages, including clicks and scroll behavior.
You can change your cookie preferences at any time using on the About page.
Analytics and tracking
If you accept analytics cookies, we load Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. We also send custom events to understand how the product is used: essay submissions and grading completion, form interactions (subject, rubric, word-count milestones), navigation and button clicks, results page views, highlight interactions, score breakdown views, PDF downloads, copied result links, history views, time spent on a page, and errors that occur in the app.
If you click Reject and keep essential cookies only, we do not load Google Analytics or Microsoft Clarity, and we do not send these analytics events.
How we use information
We use the data we collect to grade your essay and show feedback and scores, store results so you can return via your submission link or history, operate and secure FRQuick, prevent abuse and enforce rate limits, measure product usage when you have given analytics consent, and operate your account when you choose to sign up. We do not sell your personal information.
Third-party services
We run FRQuick with help from service providers. Vercel hosts the application. Supabase provides authentication and database storage for submissions, results, and rate limit records. Google Analytics provides website analytics when you consent. Microsoft Clarity provides session analytics when you consent.
These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy policies. Check their documentation for details on how they handle data.
Data retention
Your cookie consent preference stays stored for up to 180 days, or until you change your choice. The session cookie lasts up to one year. Essay submissions and grading results stay stored so you can access your results and history; we do not automatically delete them on a fixed schedule. We keep rate-limit records as needed to prevent abuse.
Your choices and rights
Manage analytics cookies through the cookie banner or on the About page. Clear site data in your browser to reset local storage identifiers. On your results page, you can control whether a submission is public or private when sharing settings are available. Email us to ask about data we hold about you or to request deletion where applicable.
Depending on where you live, local law may give you additional rights, such as access, correction, or deletion. Contact us and we will respond reasonably to valid requests.
Children
FRQuick is for students preparing for AP exams. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy. When we do, we change the "Last updated" date at the top. If you keep using FRQuick after an update, you accept the revised policy.
