1. Introduction

ReadReveal, a product of Acclimt, is committed to protecting the privacy of all users, especially children. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our educational literacy platform.

We are designed with privacy-first principles, minimizing data collection and ensuring compliance with applicable privacy laws including FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) and COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act).

2. Information We Collect

Teacher/Parent/Administrator Accounts: We collect email address, name, and password (securely hashed) when you create an account. We also collect organization and class information you provide.

Student Access: Students access ReadReveal through room codes and do not need to provide personal information. We use anonymous tokens that do not identify individual students.

Reading Activity Data: We collect reading session data including accuracy scores, reading time, and quiz responses to provide educational insights. This data is associated with anonymous identifiers, not personal information.

Device and Usage Information: We automatically collect basic technical information such as device type, browser type, and general usage patterns to improve our service.

4. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

ReadReveal is designed for use by children in grades K-8. We take special care to protect children's privacy.

We do not require children to provide personal information to use ReadReveal. Students access the platform through teacher-provided room codes.

We do not collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent obtained through their school or teacher.

Teachers and schools act as agents of parents for COPPA consent purposes in educational settings.

Parents can contact us to review, delete, or refuse further collection of their child's information.

5. Student Privacy (FERPA Compliance)

For schools using ReadReveal, we act as a "school official" under FERPA with legitimate educational interests.

We use student education records only for authorized educational purposes.

We do not disclose personally identifiable information from student education records without consent, except as permitted by FERPA.

Schools maintain control over student data and can request deletion at any time.

We implement appropriate security measures to protect student education records.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell personal information to third parties.
We do not share personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.
We may share information with service providers who help us operate our platform (such as cloud hosting). These providers are contractually bound to protect data.
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety of users.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption of data in transit and at rest.
Passwords are stored using secure hashing algorithms and are never stored in plain text.
We regularly review and update our security practices.
We limit access to personal information to employees who need it to perform their jobs.

8. Data Retention

We retain account information for as long as the account is active.
Reading session data is retained to provide longitudinal progress tracking.
Guest session data (anonymous tokens) expires after the session ends.
Upon account deletion or school request, we delete or anonymize personal information within 30 days.
