At CoGrader, we're committed to protecting the privacy of both teachers and students while providing effective grading services. We collect only the data necessary to operate our platform and handle all information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
Here's a detailed breakdown of what we collect and how we protect it:
1. Teacher Information
When a teacher creates an account and uses CoGrader, we collect:
Account Information:
Name and email address
School affiliation (when provided)
Professional contact information
Usage Data:
Application technology metadata (IP addresses, cookies)
User interaction statistics and platform usage patterns
Teacher performance data within the application
Survey responses and feedback
Edits and modifications made to AI-generated content
This information helps us support your account, improve our services, and provide technical assistance when needed.
2. Student Information
CoGrader collects limited student information necessary for grading services:
Student Identifiers:
Student names (first name and last name initial)
Student submissions and coursework (text, images, and other educational content)
How We Collect Student Data:
Student information is collected through our integration with Google Classroom when teachers choose to import assignments and student work. We do not collect information directly from students themselves.
Important Note: While we collect student personal information, we operate under FERPA's "school official" exception, which allows us to access educational records for legitimate educational purposes when working with schools and teachers.

To maintain platform security and performance, we collect:
IP addresses and device information
Browser type and version
Session duration and basic usage patterns
This technical data helps us:
