6. Quality Assurance, Training & Session Recording Protocols

To uphold the highest instructional fidelity and student safety standards, virtual tutoring sessions conducted through the Platform may be recorded (audio, video, whiteboard interactions, and chat transcripts). Recordings are utilized solely for safety verification, instructional quality audits, tutor mentoring, and enabling students to review complex lesson topics.

11. Third-Party Service Providers and Subprocessors

We engage vetted third-party vendors (such as cloud hosting facilities, encrypted video transmission gateways, and automated background screening agencies) strictly to support core platform functionality. All subprocessors are bound by rigorous data processing agreements mandating confidentiality, strict purpose limitation, and enterprise security standards.

12. Data Retention and Deletion Schedules

Personal data and session artifacts are retained only for the duration necessary to satisfy educational service goals, fulfill district contractual mandates, or comply with legal auditing requirements. Upon termination of district partnerships or upon verified parental request, student data is securely scrubbed and permanently purged.
