Privacy & Security Commitments to Schools
Elementari is dedicated to ensuring the privacy and security of educator and student data. Below is an outline of our commitments.
Privacy of Educator & Student Personal Data
Elementari is an educational platform, and any personal data collected is solely used to provide educational services:
- Student Privacy Pledge: We abide by the Student Privacy Pledge, committing to “not collect, maintain, use, or share student personal information beyond what is needed for authorized educational/school purposes.”
- Data Control: Educators control classroom content and can edit or delete student content. Data is retained until deleted by the educator or student, with deletions being immediate and permanent.
- Universal Use: Elementari can be used by students of all ages.
- No Ads or Data Selling: We do not sell or share student data with marketers. Our business model is based on providing access to our platform, not advertising.
- Contact for Data Requests: Parents, students, teachers, or principals should contact the educator directly to understand privacy practices or request access, changes, or deletion of information.
- Third-Party Compliance: All third parties must comply with Elementari's data practices. We periodically review compliance through monitoring and assessments.
Security Best Practices
Elementari follows industry best practices to ensure data security:
- Secure Data Storage: Data is stored in a secure data center in the United States.
- Encryption: Data in transit is encrypted using TLS protocol standards, and data at rest is encrypted using AES-256.
- Monitoring and Auditing: We have manual and automated monitoring and auditing systems in place.
- Access Control: We implement least privilege data access, limiting employee access to only what is necessary for their job functions. Employees undergo training, sign confidentiality agreements, and follow secure access protocols.
