Privacy Policy

SchoolsPLP, LLC ("SchoolsPLP," "we," or "us") agree to make every reasonable effort to protect the privacy of students, parents, teachers, and administrators while providing a dynamic learning environment made possible by the Internet. We understand the sensitive nature of educational data and maintain rigorous safeguards to protect information in accordance with federal laws including FERPA and COPPA. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and manage information gathered through our educational platform (the "Services"). This Privacy Policy applies to all SchoolsPLP products and services available online and by using any SchoolsPLP service, you agree to be bound by this privacy policy in its entirety.

Information Collection

SchoolsPLP uses the information we collect when you use our platform in connection with your relationship with SchoolsPLP, your use of the services, and for sending you information related to those services.

Information Sharing

If you create an account or share Personal Information with other users on SchoolsPLP's services, your information may be visible to others as configured by your school/institution. Student data will only be visible to their administrators, teachers and parents. We do not share Personal Information with third parties for their marketing purposes; however, we may share information under limited circumstances as described in this policy.

Third party analytics providers

We work with analytics service providers to help us understand usage of our services, but we ensure this is done in a privacy-protective manner.

How are accounts created?

Users must create a SchoolsPLP account to access SchoolsPLP's services. The use of SchoolsPLP is contingent on our processing of your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy. By creating an account and/or using SchoolsPLP's services, you are consenting to these practices. SchoolsPLP's services are not offered directly to students. SchoolsPLP's services are only available through Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) such as schools and school districts that sign up for primary accounts and then invite students, teachers, and parents to use SchoolsPLP through accounts they create.

When LEAs purchase licenses, SchoolsPLP creates an organization in the product and grants administrative access to that organization through primary accounts. The LEA then dictates student enrollments and teachers/administrators into schools and classrooms. When the LEA creates dictate student accounts/enrollments, they are acting on behalf of parents to give SchoolsPLP permission to collect the information described in this Privacy Policy, and SchoolsPLP is acting as a service provider to the LEA.

When the primary account belongs to a LEA, student accounts will be populated in coordination with that LEA. Students will then be provided login information in a manner specific to that district and in accordance with LEA policy, which may in some cases be through a LEA-wide "single sign-on" or by communicating an initial login and password to the student.

Consent by LEAs, Teachers, and Parents

If you are a student of any age, you must get permission from your LEA or LEA-authorized representative to use the services.

SchoolsPLP services are not offered directly to students, and LEAs must first sign up for primary accounts, and then invite students, teachers, and parents to use SchoolsPLP through the accounts they create. LEAs that have obtained licenses must provide consent on behalf of students for SchoolsPLP to collect and use student data described in this Privacy Policy.

Children's Information

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important to SchoolsPLP. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), which requires parental consent before collecting personally identifiable information from children under 13. Instead of collecting such information directly from children, we rely upon the schools to provide appropriate consents and act as the parent's agent in this regard. Parents who wish to review their child's user data must request the information from their child's teacher or access it through access to our platform by their LEA.

Data Breach or Security Incident

In the event of a data breach impacting your Personal Information, we will provide notification in compliance with all applicable laws and our contracts with LEAs. We have procedures in place designed to stop threats, restore functionality, and document incidents.

How to Delete or Correct Information

When LEAs create accounts, the LEA remains the sole owner of the educational data. All requests to review, delete or correct student or teacher information should be directed to the LEA. If we receive a request from a student, parent, or guardian, we will route such request to the LEA and assist them as needed to respond within a reasonable timeframe. If a LEA requests deletion of data under their control, we will promptly delete it, subject to any legal requirements.

Upon termination of an account, we take commercially reasonable steps to delete Personal Information from our systems. Data may be returned to the LEA as directed by our agreement. If no specific instructions are included, the data will be returned or destroyed when our relationship ends, when it's no longer needed, when advised by the LEA, or as directed by our agreement.
