How we use AI, and how we do not.

What does that mean in plain language?

AI helps with research, outlines, and first drafts. Nick edits, checks, and approves every learner-facing item before it ships. Everything is built from public objectives and authoritative sources, never from confidential or recalled exam content.

Here is the limit on that. Nick is one person and the sign-off is his own, done as he writes. Our authoring records do not carry a per-item reviewer name or an approval timestamp, so what you have is his word, not a documented review trail you could audit. Building that trail is on the list. Until it exists, we will not describe the sign-off as anything more than one person's judgment.

We do not market our content as "AI-generated questions." We do not use confidential, recalled, or leaked exam content, and nothing here is copied from live exam questions. Our material is written from CompTIA's published objectives and authoritative technical sources. We generate first drafts from those sources, then apply human creative judgment per US Copyright Office 2025 guidance on AI-assisted works. The result is human-authored content that AI helped produce, not AI-generated content presented as our own.

We do not train AI models on your personal account data. We do not sell your account data to AI model providers. We do not feed copyrighted study guides or competitor materials into our content pipeline.

How does AI help with content?

AI is a drafting assistant in our workflow. A human (Nick) picks the topic, the depth, the angle, and the examples. AI proposes a first draft from the source material we point it at. Nick then rewrites where the AI missed nuance, fixes factual gaps, adjusts tone to match the platform voice, checks claims against the cited source, and signs off on the item.

Every quiz question, flashcard, and practice exam item maps to a specific CompTIA objective code. Each carries source citations (the CompTIA objective PDF page, NIST publication, IETF RFC, or vendor doc that grounds the claim). If something is incorrect, email us. We log every report, track the fix, and credit the reader who flagged it.

Where does our source material come from?

We work from public authoritative sources only. Each item cites at least one of them. The categories are:

• Official CompTIA exam objectives. Public PDFs that define what each certification tests. The spine of every study track on the platform.
• NIST publications. Special Publications (the SP 800 series for security), federal standards documents. Public domain.
• IETF RFCs. The protocol documents that define how networking actually works.
• Public vendor documentation. Microsoft Learn, AWS Docs, Cisco DevNet, Apple Developer, Linux man pages. Researched, then written in our own words.
• Wikipedia and OpenStax. Open-licensed reference material. Cross-checked against primary sources before use.
• Original content created by Revtek. Videos, blog posts, lab notes, and teaching materials produced by Nick over years of IT and classroom work.

We do not pull transcripts, scripts, or proprietary content from other CompTIA training providers (Mike Meyers, Sybex, ExamCompass, Pocket Prep, popular video series, and similar). We do not feed copyrighted study guides into AI drafting tools. Other people's paid work is for personal study reference, not source material for our content.

What is the Revy study buddy?

Revy is a scripted character, not a chatbot. The lines you see in Adventure scenes, scene recaps, hints, and ticket debriefs are written ahead of time and stored with the lesson content. Revy reacts to what you do by picking from those authored lines. There is no chat box, and nothing you do while studying is answered by a language model.

An on-demand AI explanation feature, where you could ask why an answer was wrong and get a generated reply, is not built. It is an idea we are weighing, not a shipped feature, and no part of the app calls an AI model provider today. If we ship it, this page and the Privacy Policy get updated before it turns on, and we will name the provider.

If you catch Revy saying something inaccurate, flag it. A wrong Revy line is a content bug in an authored script, and we fix it the same way we fix a wrong question.

Is your data used to train AI?

No. We do not use your account data, your quiz answers, your sim performance, or your written input to train external AI models. Your study data stays on the platform.

We do use anonymized, aggregated patterns (for example, "this question is missed by 60 percent of learners on first attempt") to improve content and difficulty calibration. That kind of pattern analysis is internal and does not leave the platform.

There is no Revy chat that leaves the platform, so there is no AI model provider receiving your study session today. If we add a feature that sends anything to one, we will name the provider here and in the Privacy Policy before it turns on.

What do we promise about accuracy?

We work to keep content accurate. We are also realistic: mistakes happen, exam objectives shift, and AI tools introduce their own quirks. If you spot something off, email us at the address below or use the in-app feedback button. We log every report and track the fix.

What we will not do: claim our questions are AI-generated when they are human-authored, claim items are human-verified when they are not, or pretend that "AI-assisted research" is the same as "AI-generated content." Where it matters, we say which is which.

When does this policy change?

We update this policy when our tools change or when AI standards evolve. Material changes will be announced via email and on the dashboard at least 30 days before taking effect. Older versions are kept on file.
