EduEducator Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 29, 2025

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the data necessary to provide our Services:

• Names: Teacher and student names as entered by users.
• Email Addresses: For account creation, authentication, and communication.
• Assignments and Student Work: Text, files, and grading inputs submitted by teachers and students.

We do not collect unnecessary personal data.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide grading services through AI.
• Allow teachers to manage classes, assignments, and grading records.
• Authenticate users via Google OAuth (when chosen).
• Respond to support requests and improve our Services.

Assignments and student work are transmitted to Google Vertex AI for grading and feedback. This processing is automated and used only to deliver results back to the teacher. We do not sell, rent, or share personal data for advertising purposes.

3. Google User Data and OAuth Compliance

EduEducator’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We only request the minimum scopes required to provide grading and file access functionality.

• We do not use Google user data for advertising.
• We do not transfer Google user data to third parties except as necessary to provide Services (for example, Google Vertex AI processing of assignments).

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share information only in these cases:

• With Service Providers: Such as Google Vertex AI (and other providers) which process assignments to generate grades and feedback.
• With Vendors: Infrastructure providers (e.g., hosting, authentication, storage) such as Google Cloud.
• For Legal Reasons: If required by law, regulation, or government request.

5. Data Retention

• Names and Emails: Retained for as long as your account is active.
• Assignments and Student Work: Retained only as long as necessary to provide grading and reporting services. Teachers may request deletion at any time.
• Google OAuth Tokens: Stored securely and may be revoked at any time through your Google Account settings.

6. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information, including encryption in transit and at rest, secure authentication, and limited access controls. While we take strong measures, no system is completely secure.

7. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under privacy laws such as:

• FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) – protects student education records.
• CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) – California residents may request access to or deletion of their data.

You can exercise your rights at any time by contacting us at edueducatorcentral@gmail.com.

8. Third-Party Services

Our Services rely on third parties, including the Google platform, Vertex AI, and MongoDB for assignment grading and storage. This Privacy Policy does not govern third-party practices, but we only work with providers who meet strict privacy and security standards.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on our website with a revised “Effective Date.”
