At CoGrader, we’re committed to protecting the privacy of both teachers and students. We collect only the student and teacher data needed to operate. Here’s a breakdown of the types of data we collect and how we handle it.
1. Personal Information

This information helps us support your account, personalize your experience, and communicate important updates.
For Students:

Because we do not collect student personal information ourselves, CoGrader is compliant with:

FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)
Other applicable U.S. privacy regulations
