Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

What We Collect

We collect information you provide (name, email, school affiliation), content you create (posts, articles, comments), and usage data (login times, pages visited). We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is needed to operate the platform.

How We Use It

  • To provide and improve the platform
  • To moderate content for safety
  • To send school-related notifications (with school admin approval)
  • To generate anonymized analytics for schools

Student Data (COPPA & FERPA)

We take student privacy seriously. We comply with COPPA for users under 13 and FERPA for educational records. Student data is never sold, shared with advertisers, or used for profiling. Schools control all student data and can request deletion at any time.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your data. We may share data with trusted service providers (e.g., cloud hosting, email delivery) who are contractually bound to protect it. We may disclose data if required by law or to protect safety.

Data Retention & Deletion

Schools can export or delete their data at any time from the admin dashboard. We retain anonymized analytics for up to 3 years. Student accounts are automatically deactivated when they leave the school unless transferred.
