The SoVere Difference
What SoVere Does Not Collect
We can't profile what we never see. We can't lose what we don't hold.
✅
No Cloud StorageAll data lives encrypted on your machine. We have no servers holding your child's records.
✅
No Behavioral ProfilingWe cannot build profiles of what we never receive. Attention metrics stay on your device.
✅
No Third-Party IntegrationsNo SSO data leakage paths. No analytics SDKs. No embedded tracking scripts.
✅
No Subscription HostageYour curriculum history is yours. Cancel any time. Your data comes with you.
✅
No Server to BreachThere are no SoVere servers holding your data. Remotely hacking nothing is impossible.
✅
No Government Access PathWe hold no data. There is nothing to subpoena. Your child's records remain yours.
SoVere
