Achieve 3000

We only collect the information required to provide, maintain and improve the digital learning solution you use. When you register, or are registered within one of our digital learning solutions, we collect your name, school, instructor, class, and login information. Once you begin using one of our solutions, we collect your input to questions, technical specifications, and other information about how you use the solution. You are not required to provide PII; however, in order to use certain services, we may need to collect certain PII for that service to function properly or for us to provide you with requested information.

Depending on the product, the PII we collect includes information from the following categories:

  1. Name, initials, and personal or business-related contact information
  2. For our digital learning systems, we collect your name/initials and contact information when you create an account. However, we collect additional PII, or confirm existing PII, if you contact customer service with an issue or question.
  3. Education & professional information
  4. For some digital learning systems, we collect PII related to your position as an educator or student. This includes the state, district, name of school, courses, etc.
  5. In some instances, we collect PII from third parties who provide single-sign-on functions via Learning Management Systems or related tools.

We automatically collect computer metadata and content to provide, improve, and maintain our products and services.

When you use our digital learning systems, we automatically collect certain information from you through the use of cookies, web beacons or other tracking mechanisms. This includes information about your experience such as your IP address, operating systems, pages viewed, and time spent.

Third parties also collect information automatically from you across websites and over time through the use of their own cookies, web beacons, and tracking mechanisms. This information is used to enable the functions of the digital learning system, as well as customize, maintain, and improve our digital learning systems. You may disable cookies via your browser or third party mechanisms. However, some features of our digital learning systems may not function properly without them. Third party cookies that we use include Google Analytics and Webtrends.

If you choose to communicate with or receive communications through our services via phone, text, chat, email, or any other platform for technical support, customer service, or other assistance, those interactions may be recorded and monitored to deliver the solution or information requested by you.

We will retain your data for the minimum amount of time necessary to accomplish the purpose for which it was collected, and thereafter no longer than is permitted under McGraw Hill’s data retention policies. We will retain and use your data as necessary to comply with our obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements.

For information on the retention period that applies, reach out to the Privacy Office by emailing privacy@mheducation.com or calling +1-646-766-3199.

In general, we only share your PII in order to provide, maintain, or improve our products or services, or respond to legal requests.

  1. Co-branded/Other Web Sites and Features – We may share your PII with third-party business partners for the purpose of providing the service to you. These third-party business partners include cloud service providers, learning management systems (LMS), other educational software providers, etc. These business partners will be given limited access to the PII that is reasonably necessary to deliver the service, and we will require that such third parties follow the same privacy and security practices as McGraw Hill.
  2. Business Transfer – In the event of a sale, merger or acquisition, we will be able to transfer your PII to a separate entity. We will require this entity to use your PII only for authorized purposes and by authorized persons in a manner consistent with the choices end users have made under this notice, and that security, integrity, and privacy of your PII is maintained.
  3. Agents/Service providers – We hire other companies to perform certain business-related functions on our behalf and according to our instructions. For example, we provide your PII to service providers that host our platform data in the cloud (e.g., AWS).
  4. Affiliates – McGraw Hill is a global corporation that consists of multiple organizations. We share your PII between organizations within McGraw Hill to provide, maintain, and improve our products and services. A list of the companies within the McGraw Hill group is available here.
  5. Educational Institutions / Corporation – As we provide products and services to your institution / corporation, we share your data with approved individuals such as administrators or educators.
  6. Law Enforcement – In the event that McGraw Hill receives a legal demand for end user data from a law enforcement agency, that request will only be honored if:
    1. The request complies with all laws and clearly establishes the legal need for disclosure.
    2. The request is related to a specific investigation and specific user accounts are implicated in that investigation.
    3. Whenever legally permissible, users shall receive notice that their information is being requested.

McGraw Hill reserves the right to disclose to third parties non-personally identifiable information about our users and their use of the McGraw Hill services. For example, McGraw Hill may disclose aggregate data about the overall patterns or demographics of the users of the McGraw Hill products or services.

Canvas

What Information Do We Collect About Children?

How Information is Collected. We may collect information about Children directly from Children and/or their Schools, as well as automatically through a Child's use of our Services. We will not require a School or Child to disclose more information than is reasonably necessary to use our Services.

Information We Collect Directly. We may collect a Child’s name and other personal information when a School provides it to us. For example, through our Services, Schools can create assessments and track their Students’ learning progress. In doing so, Schools may require the Child’s personal information in order to track and archive evidence of learning. Schools decide how they will use our Services and Schools are responsible for ensuring that their collection and use of personal information from Children through the Services complies with applicable laws. If you are a parent and you have questions about your Child's School’s use of our Services, you should discuss your questions with your Child’s School.

Schools also have the option of creating accounts for their Students which allows those Students to view their learning progress and access learning resources provided by their School. If a School chooses to register a Child for an account, Canvas will generate a username and temporary password and provide them directly to the School which may then share them with the Child. After logging in, the Child can then create a permanent password for their account.

Once an account is created, we collect information about Children’s performance and activities on our Services. We may use deidentified or aggregated data in order to improve our services.

Parents can tell us to stop collecting personal information from their Children; however, in such cases the Children will not be able to use our Services. If you direct us to stop collecting and using your Child's personal information, we will notify the School of your request and disable your Child’s use of our Services.

Information We Collect Automatically. We may automatically collect information about a Child’s use of our Services through our servers and in log files, such as the following: domain name; browser type and operating system; web pages viewed; links clicked; the length of time spent on our Services; the length of time our Services are used; the referring URL, or the webpage that led a user to our Site; language information; device name and model; operating system type, name, and version; and activities within our Services. We use this information to analyze trends, administer the Services, track users’ movements around the Services, gather demographic information about our user base, and better tailor our Services to our users’ needs. Except as noted in this COPPA Policy, we do not link this automatically collected data to a Child’s personal information.

We may also collect IP address, device identifier or a similar unique identifier from Child users of our Services; we use such identifiers solely to support the internal operations of our Services in the same manner as described above, including to maintain or analyze their functioning; perform network communications; authenticate users or personalize content; and protect the security or integrity of users and our Services. We never use unique identifiers to track Child users across third-party apps or websites.

We may also collect information from any mobile devices that a Child uses if the Child has downloaded one or more of our Apps to their device. This information is used to help us deliver the Services to the Child. Examples of information that may be collected and used include how the Child uses the App(s) and information about the type of device the Child is using. In addition, in the event our App(s) crash on a mobile device, we will receive information about the mobile device model software version and device carrier, which allows us to identify and fix bugs and otherwise improve the performance of our App(s). This crash information is sent to us as aggregated information that does not identify an individual.

Parents and Schools have a right to review and correct the information we have collected about their Child(ren) and Students, respectively, and to delete it, and to tell us to update it or stop using it. To exercise these rights, you may contact us atprivacy@instructure.com. You will be required to authenticate yourself as the Child's parent or School to receive information about that Child. Please note that we cannot delete copies of information that a Child's School has already collected and/or copied, and copies of information that you have deleted may remain in archives for a period of time.

We do not sell personal information about Children, and there is no means for a Child to make his or her personal information public through our Services (though Schools may choose to share a Child’s information and responses with the Child’s classmates or with other teachers). We will disclose the personal information that we collect about Children only as follows:

Parents, Teachers and Classmates. We will disclose Children’s personal information: (1) to each Child’s individual teacher(s) and parent(s); and (2) as directed by the Child’s School. Parents may request information about the information we have collected from their Child(ren) by contacting us atprivacy@instructure.com.
Third-Party Service Providers. We may disclose a Child’s personal information to third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf and/or on behalf of a School or district customer in order to: provide the Child and the Child’s School with the Services that we offer through our Services; conduct quality assurance testing; facilitate creation of accounts; provide technical support; and/or provide other services to us. These third-party service providers are permitted to use personal information only to provide the services requested by Instructure or the School or district customer.
Business Transfers. If we are acquired by or merged with another company, if all or a portion of our assets are transferred to another company, or as part of a bankruptcy proceeding, we may transfer the personal information we have collected about Children to the other company. We will notify all users of any material change in our information practices, as well as any choices users may have regarding their personal information.
In Response to Legal Process. We may disclose personal information that we have collected from Children in order to comply with applicable law, a judicial proceeding, court order, or other legal process.
To Protect Us and Others. We may disclose personal information that we have collected from Children where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Service or our policies including this COPPA Policy, or as evidence in litigation in which Instructure is involved.
Disclosure to Other Third Parties Only with Consent. Beyond the disclosures described in this COPPA Privacy Policy, Instructure will disclose a Child’s information to any other third party only at a School’s direction.

Curriculum Associates

CA receives certain information, which we receive pursuant to the school official exception under FERPA, from its school district customers to enable students to use i-Ready. The following information is generally provided to CA for each student user of i-Ready:

• student first and last name;

• date of birth;

• gender;

• ethnicity or race;

• student identification number;

• student school or class enrollment;

• student grade level;

• teacher name;

• English language learner status, and;

• eligibility for free- or reduced-price lunch. Note that some of these data fields (such as ethnicity or race, ELL status, eligibility for free or reducedprice lunch) are not required for the use of i-Ready. However, where districts would like reporting capabilities based on these categories, they may choose to provide this information to CA.

To further demonstrate its commitment to protecting the privacy of student information, CA has taken the Student Privacy Pledge https://studentprivacypledge.org/. This means that, among other things, CA has pledged not to sell student information, not to engage in behaviorally targeted advertising, and to use collected data for authorized purposes only. CA only uses collected student data for the purposes described in the “How We Use Student Data” paragraph.

Student and teacher personal data is used only in the production systems and only for the explicitly identified functions of the i-Ready application. Student and teacher personal data is de-identified before any testing or research activities may be conducted. Upon the written request of a customer, Curriculum Associates will remove all personally identifiable student and educator data from its production systems when CA will no longer be providing access to i-Ready to that customer. In addition, CA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to remove a particular customer’s student data from its production servers a reasonable period of time after its relationship with the customer has ended, as demonstrated by the end of contract term or a significant period of inactivity in all customer accounts. Student data is removed from backups in accordance with CA’s data retention practices. If CA is required to restore any materials from its backups, it will purge all studentidentifiable data not currently in use in the production systems from the restored backups.

CA collects and uses “de-identified student data”, which refers to data generated from usage of i-Ready from which all personally identifiable information has been removed or obscured so that it does not identify individual students and there is no reasonable basis to believe that the information can be used to identify individual students.

• CA uses this aggregated, de-identified student data for core product functionality to make iReady a more effective, adaptive product.

• CA uses de-identified data to provide services to our educator customers. We sometimes use third party software tools (such as Salesforce or Domo) to enhance the level of service we provide. However, we only use de-identified data with these tools.

• CA also uses de-identified student and educator data for research and development purposes. This might include research analyzing the efficacy of i-Ready or development efforts related to our product and service offerings. We also conduct research using de-identified data for studies focused on improving educational systems and student outcomes more generally.

• While some of this research work is done internally, CA does share de-identified student data with trusted third-party research partners as part of these research initiatives.

• CA does not attempt to re-identify de-identified student data and takes reasonable measures to protect against the re-identification of its de-identified student data.

• Our research partners are prohibited from attempting to re-identify de-identified student or educator data.

• CA does not sell student identifiable data or aggregated de-identified student or educator data to third parties.

After termination of an agreement, MajorClarity retains data for the period of time specified in the agreement (45 days unless otherwise specified) to allow districts to retrieve their data. After this time, the personal information of students or staff/administrators is deleted. Daily backup files are retained for a period of 30 days.

However, at any time upon termination of an agreement or otherwise at their discretion, Clients and Students may submit a written request to have their personal information provided to MajorClarity deleted by emailing hello@majorclarity.com. We will comply with such written requests within (30) days.

Note that in the event that a Student chooses to submit data to a postsecondary institution, we are unable to delete or otherwise retract that information from the receiving institution.

Notwithstanding the above, we do retain aggregated, de-identified data for the purposes described in the section titled, "How We Use and Disclose Information."

MajorClarity allows Students to connect with post-secondary educational and/or employment opportunities through our platform, since it is intended to help students explore what they want to do after secondary education.  MajorClarity also provides Clients with access to a variety of features which Clients may choose to make available to Students. These features, some of which are operated by third party providers, are available only to Students in grades 6-12, and may be turned on or off at the sole discretion and control of Clients.

In addition, Employers and post-secondary institutions have the ability to post opportunities or events that Students will be able to respond to, RSVP for, or submit information to -- if they are interested (examples include: information nights for colleges, or internships for employers). Students are in complete control of this process and the post-secondary institutions and/or employers that they engage with.  Students can opt-out of connecting with institutions and employers they are interested in at any time, although most Students see this as a valuable tool. Students who do not opt-out grant us a limited license to connect them with institutions and employers they engage with and consent to being connected.  We do not, however, allow any Student under the age of 13 to be connected with institutions or employers, even if a Student desires to do so, in compliance with COPPA.

If Clients choose to make these features available to their Students, or if a Student desires to take advantage of these features individually, a limited amount of information, including personal information, may need to be sent to the third party in order to deliver the service to the Client and/or Student. MajorClarity does not disclose more information to third parties than is necessary for them to provide features on behalf of MajorClarity.

All third parties have agreed to handle the information in compliance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. They may use the information for the sole purpose of providing the service to Clients and Students.

We are not responsible for data once it has been submitted to a postsecondary institution. In addition, Clients and Students should be aware that if they choose to connect with a postsecondary institution in another country, their data will be subject to the laws of that country.

MajorClarity also provides Clients and Students with links to third party websites and allows Clients to add links to websites that they may then share with Students in all grades. We do not control, and therefore are not responsible for, the content or privacy practices of those websites. Those websites are governed by their own privacy policies, and we encourage Clients and Students to read them.

Privacy Policy

Math Nation

When you utilize one of our products, your personally identifying information is collected through a registration form. Your decision to provide such information is voluntary. We collect this information in order to best respond to you and any issues you may encounter. If you choose not to share this information with us, it may not be possible for us to respond to your request.

For Application activities that request personal information, you agree to provide accurate and current information about yourself. Your registration and/or participation in our Application services may be canceled without notice if at any time we discover that you have provided false information or violated any term of this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Use.

We will not disclose any of your personal information, except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to cooperate with local, state and/or federal law enforcement authorities, to enforce the Terms of Use or prevent unauthorized use of the Application, to respond to claims that any content in the Application violates the rights of third parties, or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of our company, its users, or the public.

You can sign into your account to see any personally identifiable information we have stored such as your name, email address, or phone number. You can also contact us by email to request to see this information.

Each of our products or applications collects different information, as outlined below:

Math Nation/Algebra Nation: Algebra Nation is a dynamic online and printed workbook resource that helps students master Algebra 1 or serves as on on-ramp tool to Algebra. Students can get personalized, real-time feedback from teachers, tutors, and peers on the Algebra Wall, which empowers them to learn collaboratively inside and outside of school. Math Nation provides the same services but to a broader math audience, including Geometry and Algebra 2. For middle school or high school students whose district or school is using the free Clever service (in use by more than 60% of schools in the country) we collect students’ full name, high school name, and teacher name — and that’s it. If the district or school is using Clever, we only have access to the data which is shared with us by the district or school. So the data shared is 100% up to the district or school, and varies. All of this information is stored in secure servers in a manner that is fully compliant with the The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). For high school students who sign up on their own, independently of their school, we collect their full name and their email address.

We store data for as long as it is necessary to provide products and services to you and others. Information associated with your account will be kept until your account is deleted, unless we no longer need the data to provide products and services. Eligible students or their parents or guardians may have the legal right (including under FERPA, COPPA and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)) to access, correct, export or delete certain of their own information or content, or to make certain choices. To make a request, please contact your school or school district. We will help them provide the requested access or make appropriate corrections. If we receive any such requests directly, we will refer those inquiries to the Education Customer to the extent required or permitted by applicable law or contractual requirements.

Users can request deletion of their data by clicking here. User data deletion requests are processed within 24 hours of receipt.

We keep Student Data for the period reasonably necessary to perform and support the services requested by the Education Customer or as required by contract, and we dispose of it at the Education Customer’s direction. Where permitted, our destruction methods may include irreversible de-identification or overwriting. We may keep archive copies of Personal Information and Student Data needed for audit, dispute resolution or legal compliance purposes, to the extent permitted by law.

We do not share any information with third party software or services unless we have your express consent or we are required by law to do so. In some cases we may use integrated Single Sign-On (SSO) such as Clever.com, however, personal information about students does not get shared with the SSO, nor do we receive personal information from the SSO.

For integrated schools, we receive data directly from districts that are authorized to share the appropriate data so that students and teachers may access our products and use them to full effect.

For non-integrated schools, we generate a class code for the teacher and their students to access the platform.

We will never sell any of your information to other companies. We do not share information with other companies for the purpose of marketing.

We will not disclose any of your personal information, except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to cooperate with local, state and/or federal law enforcement authorities, to enforce the Terms of Use or prevent unauthorized use of the Application, to respond to claims that any content in our applications violates the rights of third parties, or to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Study Social LLC, its users, or the public.

For purposes of the CCPA, in furnishing the Products to Education Customers, Accelerate Learning functions as a “service provider” and only processes “personal information” on behalf of its Education Customers for their business purposes. Accelerate Learning does not sell any “personal information” that is collected from Education Customers, students, or other users through or in connection with the Products. Accordingly, to exercise CCPA rights to know, delete or opt-out of sales of “personal information”, consumers are directed to contact their school, school district or other local educational agency who control the collection and use of “personal information” as the “business” under the CCPA, as noted above.

If you are located in the United States and are under the age of thirteen (13) you must have your parent's or legal guardian's approval prior to posting any content on the Website. This is either obtained through your school or school district administrator or directly from your parents or legal guardian.

Membean collects limited personal information from students, including the Student Information described above ("Children's Personal Information"), but only where that student's school, school district, parent and/or legal guardian has contracted with Membean to collect Children's Personal Information from students for the use and benefit of the learning environment. Membean requires schools and school districts to obtain consent from students' parents and/or legal guardians before collecting any such Children's Personal Information.

If you are a student, please do not send any Children's Personal Information about yourself to us, other than what we request from you when you sign up for Membean Services.

Customers will be notified via prominent notice on our Website prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If, as a result of the business transaction, your personally identifiable information will be used in a manner materially different from that stated at the time of collection, you will be given a choice consistent with our Notification of Changes section.

  • Consent. We may disclose Personal Information with any other entity disclosed to you at the time we collect your information or with your consent or at your direction.

We do not sell your Personal Information. For clarity, we may make recommendations within or through the Services of features, tools, and content on the Services to students based on their demographic information or activities on our Services. For example, we may suggest reading materials to a student based on the student having read a similar material in the past or based on the student’s age or grade level.

We may also share information with others in de-identified, aggregated or otherwise anonymized form that does not reasonably identify you directly as an individual.

We disclose Student Data solely as needed to provide the Services on behalf of specific Schools in accordance with our contractual agreements with those Schools. Please note that Student Data and teacher account usage data may be disclosed to or accessible by users who are authorized to use the Services on behalf of the School.

We also disclose Student Data to our trusted service providers who have a legitimate need to access such information on our behalf, subject to appropriate contractual terms to protect such data. Furthermore, we may disclose Student Data in connection with a business transaction or to support our legal rights and obligations, as described under the section entitled “Recipients of Personal Information” above.

g. How We Use De-Identified Student Data

We may collect and use De-Identified Data to operate, analyze, improve, market or develop educational sites, services or applications, to recommend content or services relating to school or educational purposes, and to demonstrate the effectiveness of our products or services. De-Identified Data means data from which all personally identifiable information, including direct and indirect identifiers, has been permanently removed or obscured so that the remaining information does not reasonably identify an individual and there is no reasonable basis to believe that the information can be used to identify an individual. If we share or publicly disclose De-Identified Data, that data will be aggregated or anonymized to reasonably avoid identification of a specific School or individual student.

Depending on the product or service, Customers may provide student data, employee data, or applicant data for PowerSchool processing. The mix of data provided by each customer may also vary based on how the customer configures the PowerSchool product or service for Customer Data collection (potential variations are discussed in more detail below). For this reason, it is impossible for PowerSchool to fully document the data that it will process for each customer until after the customer has fully implemented and configured the PowerSchool product and service. The configuration may also be dynamic in that the school or district may change its data collection configuration over time. If you have questions about which data is being collected by a customer connected to you, you should direct those questions directly to the PowerSchool customer that controls your data. The customer’s privacy policy may be another good source of information.When does a customer’s privacy policy govern?? PowerSchool’s Privacy Statement does not supersede the terms of any consent form, privacy notice or privacy statement from your school, school district or higher education institution, or stated alternatively, the terms of any agreements between you and your school or school district, or higher education institution (our customers).
Who Owns Student Data Provided to PowerSchool by Customers for Processing??Student data is synonymous with Customer Data under this Privacy Statement. Accordingly, all Customer Data is owned, and thereby controlled, by our customers (school, school districts or higher education institutions). If required under applicable law, our customers are responsible for obtaining consent for PowerSchool to process Customer Data. For Customer Data processing under FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a United States federal law governing access to educational information and records, the customer designates PowerSchool as a “school official” with a legitimate educational purpose. Our customers license PowerSchool Products and purchase certain professional services for the purpose of providing, maintaining, and supporting student data for those legitimate educational purposes. PowerSchool will only process student data for the purposes of providing access to the PowerSchool Products and professional services that our customers (school or school districts) have contracted with us to provide, and we will process such student data according to instructions and the terms of our contract and data privacy agreements with our customers.?Many school districts are also obligated to parents to post information about the data that it collects. It bears mentioning again that PowerSchool processes the Customer Data under strict contractual obligations and privacy agreements signed with the customer. PowerSchool does not use or disclose Customer Data except as authorized and required by our customers and as provided for in our agreements with our customers. Because PowerSchool does not own or control Customer Data, any request for access, review, correction, or deletion of Customer Data must come directly from our customers.?With our customer’s consent, PowerSchool may receive information from affiliates in our PowerSchool Group of companies, or third parties and combine that information with Customer Data.

C. COLLECTED DATA

Although most PowerSchool on-line services and products are used by customers for Customer Data collection, PowerSchool websites and some PowerSchool products and services collect data directly from users of our website or those products and services. In these situations, PowerSchool is a “data controller” because PowerSchool determines the purposes for which and the manner in which personal information is processed. Because PowerSchool is the collector and controls the configuration of these products and services, PowerSchool can provide more detail on the data collection. These websites, products and services are further detailed below.We also collect device and usage information when you access and use the PowerSchool Products, including information that your browser or the mobile app sends when you are using our products. This data may include your unique device identifier, IP address, your browser type and configuration, the date and time of your use of the product or service and cookie data. Learn more about our use of cookies in our?Cookie Statement.

D. TRANSACTION DATA

Transaction Data is not Customer Data, nor is it Collected Data. It is a different PowerSchool category of data. Transaction Data may contain copied elements from Customer Data or Collected Data. For example, the logging of a user session may contain a unique id that identifies the user. The unique id is necessary for monitoring the health and security of PowerSchool applications.The monitoring of PowerSchool systems and applications is a part of our standard business operations to protect Customer Data and Collected Data; comply with laws; be able to provide customer support, and monitor events related to Customer Data or Collected Data. The monitoring of events is essential in preventing data-related incidents and determining if a data-related incident has occurred or is occurring that requires immediate attention by PowerSchool’s Incident Response Team. System and application events are monitored by the creation of artifacts or metadata about our systems, applications and their use. We call this “Transaction Data”. Transaction Data is vital to our ability to improve our products; trouble shoot customer support questions; analyze the health and performance of our products; and maintain security of Customer Data and Collected data, and privacy investigations. Transaction Data may either contain personal information along with application data that does not directly or indirectly relate to a person; or application data without any personal information at all.The storage and maintenance of Transaction Data is separate from the storage and maintenance of Customer Data and Collected Data with clear boundaries between the three types of data. In fact, Transaction Data is temporary. This means Transaction Data is permanently deleted on a regular rolling basis over time. This occurs regardless of whether Transaction Data contains any personal information or not. This is an implementation of the data minimization principle. Transaction Data which contains no personal information or Transaction Data containing even one element of personal information are all treated the same. Except for Service Providers acting as data subprocessors supporting our applications who are granted secure access to Transaction Data, PowerSchool does not share, disclose, sell or transfer such Transaction Data. Additionally, PowerSchool treats all Transaction Data as PowerSchool Restricted Information – meaning confidential and secured – and at the same level as Customer Data and Collected Data.PowerSchool does work with various data subprocessors to support the operability of our products. In order for these vendors to service us as captured in our agreements with them, they do create metadata within their systems. In these cases, PowerSchool binds these vendors to privacy requirements to ensure any metadata is properly deleted as required by law.PowerSchool respects our customers’ privacy and data security requirements. Transaction Data is one way we fulfill that promise to our customers – educational institutions and individuals. Transaction Data provides us with the ability to service our customers properly.

F. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), PowerSchool acts as a “school official” with “legitimate educational interests” and contractually relies on educational institutions to obtain parental consent, if required.

More generally, PowerSchool has processes and procedures in place to protect the personal information of children under 13, as detailed below. We do not use such information for any purpose other than to provide our services and for the specific uses set forth below, in accordance with contractual agreements with our customers and our Terms of Service. In addition, PowerSchool’s Schoology Basic product, our free publicly accessible version of Unified Classroom® Schoology Learning, received a PRIVO Kids Privacy Assured Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) Safe Harbor certification starting in 2016. PowerSchool has established COPPA-compliant privacy practices and has agreed to submit to PRIVO’s oversight and consumer dispute resolution process. These practices impact the development and implementation of other PowerSchool Products other than Schoology Basic.

PowerSchool cannot delete such information unless authorized by your child’s educational institution.

We keep information collected on behalf of our Customers for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, pursuant to contractual terms or as otherwise required by applicable law. We dispose of information that is not held pursuant to contractual terms within a commercially reasonable time period or at the request of a customer using reasonable measures to protect against unauthorized access to or use of information

To comply with PowerSchool’s obligations under applicable data protection laws and to our customers, we provide a list of significant third-party suppliers that enable us to provide our products and services and operate our business. These third-party suppliers perform the functions described below and are considered subprocessors under applicable data protection laws (“Subprocessors”). We require our Subprocessors to implement proper security measures to safeguard and to respect the privacy rights attendant to Customer Data and Collected Data.
