Purposes of Data Entry
Purposes of Data Entry
You have full control over the student data entered on this platform. All data input should be strictly limited to information that directly supports the legitimate educational objective of enhancing student performance. We will never request, and you are expressly instructed not to enter, any student data that is unrelated to this educational purpose.
To facilitate system setup, only a student login is required for each student. Additional non-student-specific information is also necessary, including the teacher’s first and last name, class name, grade level, and school name.
Student demographic data, which may be used for optional disaggregated reporting, is collected separately from the initial setup process. This information is obtained only with the written consent of your educational institution.
Use, Disclosure, and Storage
Use, Disclosure, and Storage
Student data will be used solely for the purpose of delivering services to your educational institution. We will retain this data only as long as necessary to fulfill this purpose and will delete it promptly upon instruction from you or your institution.
You are prohibited from disclosing or using any student data entered on this site for purposes not expressly authorized.
Student data will be disclosed only to authorized employees or representatives of the educational institution. We will not knowingly share this data with any third party without the institution’s express written consent.
When requested by the educational institution, we may obtain assessment results or other information—including personally identifiable student data—from third-party sources. Such data is handled with the same level of confidentiality and security as if it were provided directly by the institution. In some cases, additional agreements with the third party may be required to authorize the transmission of data to Learning A–Z.
From time to time, your educational institution may request that Learning A–Z share student data with third parties of its choosing. Such disclosures will only be made with written authorization from the institution. This authorization must acknowledge that Learning A–Z is acting as the institution’s agent in providing the data and that, once the data is transferred, Learning A–Z no longer retains control over its use or management by the third party.
We may utilize aggregated, non-personally identifiable data—such as summary statistics—for purposes including research, product development, and marketing. This type of data may also be shared with third parties to support these efforts.
Importantly, we do not use personally identifiable student data to market products or services directly to students or their parents under any circumstances.
If Learning A–Z intends to publish or share aggregated data that identifies your school or educational institution by name, a separate written agreement will be established to authorize such release and publication. This ensures transparency and institutional control over any public association with the data.
