Committed to protecting student data and empowering educators
At TeachHero, we know that trust is everything when it comes to serving schools. Thatโs why weโre built from the ground up with student privacy, security, and compliance in mind. We are fully aligned with U.S. education privacy laws, including FERPA and COPPA, and we work closely with schools to meet district and state-level requirements.
๐ Our Privacy Commitments
- No ads. No tracking. No selling data.
- Student data is never used for advertising or profiling.
- We only collect whatโs needed to provide our educational services.
- We use privacy-focused analytics (Plausible) with no cookies and no personal identifiers.
- Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, hosted securely on U.S. and EU-based infrastructure.
๐ FERPA Compliance
We act as a school official under FERPA, meaning:
- We only access student data under the direction of a school.
- We do not disclose student records without consent.
- Schools remain in control of their data at all times.
๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ COPPA Compliance
TeachHero is not directed to children for direct sign-up.
We support schools in managing student access under COPPA by:
- Collecting only limited student data (e.g., name, class info) through educators.
- Relying on schools to obtain any required parental consent.
- Using this data solely to operate and improve the platform.
๐ ๏ธ We Support Your Policies
- We offer Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) when required.
- Schools can request data access, correction, or deletion at any time.
- Student data is removed within 30 days of account deletion or upon request.
