Trial Student asked to take Lessons off Platform

Hi everyone, I had a trial lesson today and had a student ask me about taking the lesson off the platform for the first time. I've never dealt with this situation before so responded without thinking straight. She said paying in USD was more expensive than initially thought so I was thinking of doing her the favour. I told her it's not allowed on the platform but maybe we could discuss it more via email. And I typed our emails on the google doc file that I usually share with my students for corrections/notes, and talked a bit about how that would work (e.g. google meets classes, scheduling, payment).

I'm stressed right now because I realized I had lesson insights on and I didn't think about the fact that they can review the call to see what was discussed. Or that key words might be flagged.

However, I see that no lesson insights were sent in the chat like they usually are with my other students. But in the Next Steps for student page that they make you fill out, I saw that some of the boxes were pre-filled with some info we talked about in class (e.g. goals for exam in 1 month).

I'm freaking out a bit now because I don't want to lose this income. I should've been more careful but here we are.

So my question is, can they flag what was discussed during the video call? (Nothing was written in the chat). Should I message her in the chat noting that I checked the policy and that it's not possible? Or would that just raise flags for Preply to check my account and the recording/AI transcript (if it exists) from the lesson?

Thank-you!
