Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 24, 2026

1. Information We Collect

We collect information provided during the application and enrollment process, including:

  • Parent/guardian name, email, and phone number
  • Student name, age, and current school
  • Application responses and academic information
  • Student work products (reflections, sketches, voice recordings) created during sessions

2. How We Use Information

  • To deliver and improve the BrightRoot program
  • To communicate with parents about enrollment, billing, and student progress
  • To generate anonymized, aggregated insights for program improvement
  • To comply with legal obligations

3. AI & Student Data

BrightRoot uses AI-guided instruction. Student interactions with AI avatars (questions asked, session activity) are logged for teacher review and program improvement. AI models do not retain personal student data after sessions. No student data is sold or shared with third-party advertisers.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share data with:

  • Service providers who help operate the platform (hosting, email, analytics)
  • Teachers and staff involved in your child's cohort
  • Legal authorities when required by law

5. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect personal data, including encrypted connections, access controls, and secure hosting infrastructure. No system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain student and parent data for the duration of enrollment plus 12 months after withdrawal. Academic records and anonymized analytics may be retained longer for program evaluation purposes. You may request deletion of personal data at any time.

7. Your Rights

Parents and guardians may:

  • Request access to their child's data
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of personal data
  • Withdraw consent for non-essential data processing

8. Children's Privacy

BrightRoot serves students ages 8–17. We collect student data only with parental consent through the enrollment process. We comply with applicable children's privacy regulations.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy with reasonable notice. Material changes will be communicated via email. Continued enrollment after changes constitutes acceptance.
