Times are changing and so is the importance of guarding student data and privacy.
As schools across the nation enter into a new era of digitally supported education, protecting student data is more important than ever. As an education software company, we are intimately aware of how critical it is to provide a system that is robustly protected against bad actors and even the inadvertent release of school or student data. We consistently design and operate our technology and services with our users’ protection and privacy in mind, and we make every effort to be transparent in our data collection and use practices. While a complete description of our privacy can be found on our website, this article provides a good summary of the efforts we make to protect our users:
