Certain information that may be provided to HMA by School Personnel that is directly related to a student and maintained by an Institution, may be considered an education record ("Education Record") under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ("FERPA"). Additionally, certain information, provided to HMA by School Personnel about a student, such as student name and grade level, may be considered directory information under FERPA ("Directory Information") and thus not an Education Record. A school may not generally disclose personally identifiable information from an eligible student's education records to a third party without written consent of the parent and/or eligible student or without meeting one of the exemptions set forth in FERPA ("FERPA Exemption(s)"), including the exemption for Directory Information ("Directory Information Exemption") or disclosure to school officials with a legitimate educational interest ("School Official Exemption").As School Personnel or an Institution providing Directory Information or any Education Record to HMA, you warrant, as applicable, that your Institution has: complied with the Directory Information Exemption, including, without limitation, informing parents and eligible students what information the Institution deems to be directory information and allowing parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that schools not disclose directory information about them; and/or complied with the School Official Exemption, including, without limitation, informing parents in their annual notification of FERPA rights that the Institution defines "school official" to include service providers and defines "legitimate educational interest" to include services such as the type provided by ClassDojo; or obtained all necessary parental or eligible student written consent to share the Directory Information and Educational Records with Company, in each case, solely to enable Company's operation of the Service.HMA will never share Education Records with third parties except: as directed by a HMA user (i.e., teacher sharing with another teacher or parent); or to our service providers that are necessary for us to provide the Software, as stated in our Privacy Policy. A list of our current essential service providers is located within the Privacy Policy.Education Records are never used or disclosed for third party advertising or any kind of first- or third-party behaviorally-targeted advertising to students or parents. Additionally, information collected directly from a student using HMA is never used or disclosed for third party advertising, or any kind of first- or third-party behaviorally-targeted advertising to the student, and personal information collected from a student is never sold or rented to anyone. This section shall not be construed (i) to prohibit HMA from marketing or advertising directly to parents so long as the marketing or advertising did not result from the use of Educational Records to provide behaviorally targeted advertising or (ii) to limit the ability of HMA to use student information or Educational Records for adaptive learning or customized student learning purposes.HMA may use Education Records that have been de-identified for product development, research or other purposes ("De-Identified Data"). De-Identified Data will have all direct and indirect personal identifiers removed. HMA agrees not to attempt to re-identify the De-Identified Data and not to transfer the De-Identified Data to a third party unless that party agrees not to attempt re-identification.

Are our apps intended for K-12 students?
Yes, our apps are intended for users ranging from 2 to 99+years so K-12 students are definitely part of our target market.Is there any tracking of student information, if so what does this include?
All tracking is optional. All of our apps can be used without creating any student accounts. Some of our apps offer the ability to track user progress but the user account can be anonymous and does not require an email account. In other words, the student, teacher, and parent are always in control and can decide what if anything gets tracked.What student data is collected, including metadata, and how is that data used?
Please see the answer above. Most of our apps collect zero student data. If you decide to create a student account with an email address, then some of our apps will track user activity within the app so that the student, teacher, or parent can see how the student is doing. As we said above, students can always create user accounts without any email if they prefer to have everything anonymous.Which 3rd party companies do you share data with? Do they adhere to your privacy policy and terms of service?
None.Is any student data used for the purpose of advertisement or marketing?
No.Is student information disclosed or sold and if so to who?
No. We have and will never disclose or sell any student information to anyone.Is your tool and company FERPA, CIPA, COPPA, and SOPIPA, and AB1584 compliant?
We are not familiar with all of the above acronyms but we try to follow best practices in terms of ensuring our user privacy.What do you do with student data after the data is no longer needed?
Nothing. First, the majority of our apps collect zero student data. For the apps that do collect student data, the student, teacher, or parent can delete all data at anytime. Plus, you can also track data anonymously if you like.
