1. Introduction

Ed.ai ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of teachers, students, and schools. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our services, in compliance with applicable laws including FERPA, COPPA, SOPIPA, and relevant state-level student privacy acts.

• With trusted service providers under strict contractual safeguards
• When required by law or to protect safety and rights

6. Data Retention and Deletion

Data is retained only for the duration of the contract with the district. Upon request from the district, Ed.ai will:
