7. Data Retention

Student assessment data is retained for the duration of the school's active subscription plus one academic year, unless the school requests earlier deletion. Schools may request data export in standard formats at any time. Upon account termination, all student data is permanently deleted within 90 days.

8. Children's Privacy

Our platform is designed for use by students in grades 8-12 (typically ages 13-18) under the supervision of their schools. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) for users under 13.
