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,

  • Grades and feedback generated through Ed.ai

  • Learning analytics (skill mastery levels, recurring errors, progress tracking)

Note: All student data remains the property of and under the control of the school or district. Ed.ai acts as a “school official” under FERPA with a legitimate educational interest.

  • With parental consent provided by the district (under COPPA, for children under 13)

  • 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:

Teachers, students, and parents (through their school) have the right to:
