Student Data Privacy

We Collect Only What You Need

We minimize the amount of Student Data we collect to only that data required to achieve the educational objectives of our service. We maintain an up-to-date list of Student Data we collect and its purpose; it is available upon request.

Your Student Data is Secure

All of the data ObjectiveEd houses is monitored around the clock in secure data centers in the United States, ensuring your data is protected from physical intrusions and natural disasters. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

You Own Your School Data

We will never sell, rent, transfer, disclose, or distribute your personal or student data without prior written consent, even if you choose to terminate your contract with ObjectiveEd. We do not share any student data with any third party without a written request from you.

We do not market to students and we do not knowingly allow any third party to use our service to market to students. All student data is removed from our system when you request deletion, or when you terminate your subscription. All student data is removed from all backups at the next backup cycle.

We commit to allowing schools to access and update student personal information, as part of your school's obligation to parents and students for the review and correction of their student data.

We Communicate with Your Staff, Not Your Students

Other than our software reading with your student or child, we do not directly communicate with, or provide direct online support to, your students without a written request from you.

We Notify You of Changes

We will notify you or your designated contact of any change to the ObjectiveEd subscription agreement, which includes all details of our student data privacy commitment.

We Train Our Staff

Even the strongest systems are vulnerable if staff are not trained well. ObjectiveEd staff understand the importance of protecting your students' or child's data and are trained and equipped with the appropriate resources to do so.

• Periodic training on how to protect client data, including procedures to follow in the event of a data breach.
• Our staff is trained to never move student data from our secure data centers onto portable or personal devices.
• Our Research team is trained in research ethics (PHRP certified) and all research studies are approved by Institutional Review Boards, such as the American Foundation for the Blind's IRB.
• All staff who are likely to come into contact with student data are screened against federal criminal and sex offender registries.

AI Services

ObjectiveEd uses commercial AI services for speech-to-text processing from commercial providers. The Data and Privacy policies of these providers state that they do not retain any input or output data after the completion of processing. These Data and Privacy policies are available upon request.
