We believe you should always know what data we collect from you, how we use it, and that you should have meaningful control over both. We want to empower users to make the best decisions about the information that they share with us. In fact, we made a short video for students and children that highlights the most important details in our Privacy Policy that they should know about. We offer a Student Data PrivacyAddendum, an agreement we enter into with schools or districts that further describes our duties, responsibilities, and commitments with respect to Student Data that we collect or receive.
This Privacy Policy applies solely to the ClassDojo Services (defined below) and does not apply to the informational website located at https://www.classdojo.com (the "ClassDojo Website"). The ClassDojo Website Privacy Policy is located here. Additionally, if you are using our Dojo Tutoring product, please find the Dojo Tutoring Privacy Policy located here.
You should read this policy in [full], but here are the highlights:
Personal Information We Collect : Please see this page where we detail the personal information we collect from each user type, including the sources from which the information was collected, the business purpose for which the information was collected, and the third parties with whom we share or disclose personal information for a business purpose.
We also have Online Tracking Technologies Policy. You can also find more details below.
How We Use the Information We Collect : We use the personal information we collect from students (or about students from teachers and parents) to provide and improve the Service, for educational purposes, security, and safety purposes, or as allowed by law. We will not require children to provide more personal information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the Service. See here for more information on our use of information collected from students and children using the Service not connected to a school or classroom ("Outside School Child User"), including for educational and other learning activities at home through certain premium features that may be purchased, ( " Premium Features"). For additional information regarding our use of information collected from teachers, parents, and school leaders, see here.
Data Retention : We will not retain student personal information for any longer than is necessary for educational purposes and legal obligations, or to provide the Service for which we receive or collect the student personal information. We protect students with our industry-leading Student Data Protection Policy: we automatically delete their Feedback Points awarded in school after a year, and we delete Students' Accounts if they're inactive for more than twelve months. Some content within a student account utilized in school or for educational purposes connected to a school or classroom ("Student Account") will be kept after deletion of the account for school legal compliance reasons (e.g., maintenance of "education records" under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) or "Student Data" under state student privacy laws or equivalent laws in international jurisdictions) and will not be deleted until we receive direction from the school. This can include content uploaded by a student, teacher, school leader, or parent.
