We provide teachers and educators with AI-powered tools to generate professional report card comments through our website and services (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you visit our website or use our Services.

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:
Despite our best efforts, no system is 100% secure. If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential.

We commit to:
Schools retain control over student data. If you have questions about how your school handles data, please contact your school administrator.
Our Services are designed for use by teachers and educators, not directly by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental or school consent.
If we discover that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it immediately. If you believe we have collected such information, contact us at support@reportcardcomments.org.
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., payment processors, social media). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information.
Our Services are primarily intended for users in the United States and Europe. If you access our Services from outside these regions, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
By using our Services, you consent to the transfer of your information to the United States.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or Services. When we make material changes, we will:
