Who We Are

Coursemojo, Inc. (“Coursemojo”) is leading the way in developing next-generation technology to support district implementation of high quality instructional materials. Coursemojo’s programs provide teachers with powerful tools that help them understand and respond to the needs of each student and use data in a way that is safe, secure, and effective.

Our Products and Services

Coursemojo’s products support classroom instruction and includes any product or service that links to this Privacy Policy (together, the “Products”).

Our Products are primarily geared towards K–12 students, educators, and staff who use the Products pursuant to an agreement or with the permission of School Districts and State Agencies (“Authorized School Users”).

What This Privacy Policy Covers 

This Customer Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes how Coursemojo collects, uses, and discloses personal information through the provision of Products. 

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “you” and “your” means Authorized Users. 

This Privacy Policy does not apply to Coursemojo’s handling of: 

• information collected from users of Coursemojo’s company website, which is governed by our Website Privacy Policy.
• applicant data that we process in accordance with our applicant privacy notice. 

There may be different contractual terms or privacy policies in place with some of our School Customers. Such other terms or policies may supersede this Privacy Policy for information collected or released under those terms. If you have any questions as to which legal agreement or privacy policy controls the collection and use of your personal information, please contact us using the information provided below. Unless expressly superseded, this Privacy Policy is incorporated into and is subject to the Agreement that governs your use of the Products.

Our Approach to Student Data Privacy: In the course of providing the Products to our School Customers and their Authorized School Users, Coursemojo collects, receives, generates, or has access to “Student Data,” which is information that directly relates to an identifiable student. 

We consider Student Data to be confidential and we collect and use Student Data solely for educational purposes in connection with providing our Products to, or on behalf of, our School Customers, as described in this Privacy Policy and our Agreements. We work to maintain the security and confidentiality of Student Data that we collect or store, and we enable our School Customers to control the use, access, sharing, and retention of Student Data. 

Our collection and use of Student Data is governed by our Agreements with our School Customers, including this Privacy Policy, and applicable laws which may include the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (“FERPA”), the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (“PPRA”), as well as other applicable federal, state, and local privacy laws and regulations (“Applicable Laws”). With respect to FERPA, Coursemojo receives Student Data as a “school official” under Section 99.31 of FERPA for the purpose of providing its Products, and such Student Data is owned and controlled by the School Customer.

Capitalized terms not defined in this section or above will have the meaning set forth by Applicable Laws.

 “Agreement” means the underlying contractual agreement between Coursemojo and the School Customer.

 “Authorized Users” means all authorized users of our Products, including Authorized School Users, parents and legal guardians, and children under the age of 13 who are permitted to sign up for our Products only with verifiable consent from their parent or guardian.

 “Authorized School Users” means K–12 students, educators, and staff using Coursemojo’s Products pursuant to an Agreement or with the permission of the School District or State Agency.

 “School Customer” means the School District or State Agency that is the party to the Agreement to provide the Coursemojo Products to the School Customer’s Authorized School Users.

 “School District” means a local education agency, school network, independent school, or other regional education system.

 “State Agency” means the educational agency primarily responsible for the supervision of public elementary and secondary schools in any of the 50 states, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, or other territories and possessions of the United States, as well as a national or regional ministry or department of education in other countries, as applicable.

When you access or use our Products, you may choose to provide us with personal information, including Student Data. This information may be provided to us directly (e.g. when an account is created or through communications with us) or through our Products.

Student Data. Below is a list of the categories of Student Data that may be collected by Coursemojo or its Products, either directly or through the School Customer’s use of the various features and configurations of the Products:

• Identifier and Enrollment Data, such as name, email, school / state ID number, username and password, grade level, homeroom, courses, teacher names.
  • Why? Most of Coursemojo’s Products require some basic information about who is in a classroom and who teaches the class—student or teacher Identifier and Enrollment data. This information is provided to Coursemojo by our School Customers, either directly from the School Customer’s student information system or via a third party with whom the School Customer contracts to provide that information.
• Demographic Data, such as date of birth, socioeconomic status, race, national origin,  and preferred or primary language.
  • Why? To support school instructional and reporting requirements, Coursemojo’s Products allow School Customers to view reports and analyze data using student demographic and other special indicators. For example, a School District may wish to analyze student literacy assessment results based on English Language Learner status to better tailor classroom instruction, and in that case may provide the associated indicator as part of the enrollment information to enable that reporting.
• School Records, such as grades, attendance, assessment results, and Individualized Education Plan status (i.e. whether a plan is in place)
  • Why? Some of our Products support grading assignments and administering formative, diagnostic, and curriculum-based assessments. Teachers use that data to support students’ progress in the program or help with instructional decisions. We do not collect specific details from an IEP, nor do we collect health or other sensitive information.
• Schoolwork and Student Generated Content, which includes any information contained in student assignments and assessments, including information in response to instructional activities and participation in collaborative or interactive features of our Products, such as student responses to academic questions and student-written essays, as well as images, video, and audio recordings. 
  • Why? As part of the digital learning experience, some of our Products may enable students to write texts and create and upload images, video, and audio recordings. For example, in Coursemojo ELA, students may write essays or submit short-form responses in our platform as part of a lesson on literature.  
• Teacher Comments and Feedback, such as scores, written comments, or other feedback that educators may provide about student responses or student course performance. 
  • Why? To enable teachers to track the performance and provide feedback to their students.
• Other Data.  We may collect the following types of personal information from all other Authorized Users: 
  • Contact Information, such as name and email address, as well as grade level taught, school name and school location, whether you are a teacher, administrator, or other authorized person that creates an account or uses our Products or communicates with us.
  • Account Information, such as customer user login and password, for account creation and access purposes. 
  • Survey Responses, which you provide in response to surveys or questionnaires.
  • Device and Usage Data. Depending on the Product, we may collect certain information about the device used to connect to our Product, such as device type and model, browser configurations, and persistent identifiers, such as IP addresses and unique device identifiers. We may collect device diagnostic information, such as battery level, usage logs, and error logs, as well as usage, viewing, and technical information (e.g., email open rates), such as the number of requests a device makes, to ensure proper system capacity for all Authorized Users. We may collect IP addresses and use that information to approximate device location to support operation of the Product. To the extent that we collect this information from website visitors who have not signed up for an account, this data is solely used to support operation of the Product and is not linked to Student Data.
• How? Cookies and Similar Technologies. We collect device and usage data through “cookies,” Web beacons, HTML5 local storage, and other similar technologies, which are used in some of our Products. 
  • Why? We use this information to remember returning users and facilitate ease of login, to customize the function and appearance of the Products, and to improve the learning experience. This information also helps us track product usage for various purposes, including website optimization, to ensure proper system capacity, troubleshoot and fix errors, provide technical assistance and customer support, provide and monitor the effectiveness of our Products, monitor and address security concerns, and compile analytics for product improvement and other internal purposes. Learn how to opt out of cookies and similar technologies by reading the “What Rights and Choices Do You Have?” section of this Privacy Policy below.

Student Data. Coursemojo uses Student Data for educational purposes, to provide the Products, and to ensure secure and effective operation of our Products, including:

• to provide and improve our educational Products;
• to support School Customers’ and Authorized School Users’ activities;
• to ensure secure and effective operation of our Products;
• for purposes requested or authorized by the School Customer or Authorized School User or as otherwise permitted by Applicable Laws;
• for adaptive or personalized learning purposes, provided that Student Data is not disclosed to third parties;
• for customer support purposes, to respond to the inquiries and fulfill the requests of our School Customers and their Authorized School Users;
• to enforce Product access and security controls; and
• to conduct system audits and improve protections against the misuse of our Products, or to detect and prevent fraud and other harmful activities.

We also use personal information to power the adaptive and personalized learning features of the Products. For example, we may make instructional recommendations to teachers and students based on the student’s progress in the program. These recommendations are offered as optional, additional learning support.  

Other Data. Coursemojo may use Authorized User information for the purposes for which Student Data is used as set forth above. Coursemojo does not use Student Data for marketing purposes, but it may use the personal information of other Authorized Users for marketing in limited circumstances (e.g. to periodically send newsletters and other promotional materials), and as otherwise required or permitted, or as we may notify you at the time of collection. Learn how to opt out of these communications by reading the “What Rights and Choices Do You Have?” section of this Privacy Policy below. 

Coursemojo may use aggregate or de-identified data as described in the Aggregate/De-identified Data section below.

Student Data. We disclose Student Data to third parties only as needed to provide the Products under the Agreement, as directed or permitted by the School Customer or Authorized School User, and as required by law. Such disclosures may include but are not limited to the following:

• to other Authorized School Users of the School Customer entitled to access such data in connection with the Products;
• to our service providers, subprocessors, or vendors who have a legitimate need to access such data in order to assist us in providing or supporting our Products, such as platform, infrastructure, and application software. We contractually bind such parties to protect Student Data in a manner consistent with those practices set forth in this Privacy Policy and in accordance with Applicable Laws. List of Coursemojo subprocessors is available at http://www.coursemojo.com/subprocessors;
• to comply with the law, respond to requests in legal or government enforcement proceedings (such as complying with a subpoena), protect our rights in a legal dispute, or seek assistance of law enforcement in the event of a threat to our rights, security, or property or that of our affiliates, customers, Authorized Users, or others;
• in the event Coursemojo or all or part of its assets are acquired or transferred to another party, including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings, provided that successor entity will be required to comply with the privacy protections in this Privacy Policy with respect to information collected under this Privacy Policy, or we will provide the School Customer with notice and an opportunity to opt out of the transfer of such data prior to the transfer; and
• except as restricted by Applicable Laws or contracts with our School Customers, we may also share Student Data with Coursemojo’s affiliated education companies, provided that such disclosure is solely for the purposes of providing Products and at all times is subject to this Policy.

Other Data.  Coursemojo discloses Authorized User information for the purposes for which Student Data is used as set forth above. Coursemojo may also disclose Authorized User information as otherwise required or permitted, or as disclosed at the time of collection.

Coursemojo may use de-identified or aggregate data for purposes allowed under FERPA and other Applicable Laws, to research, develop, and improve educational sites, services, and applications and to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Coursemojo Products. Coursemojo will not attempt to re-identify de-identified data. We may use aggregate information (which is information that has been collected in summary form such that the data cannot be associated with any individual)  for analytics and reports. For example, our marketing materials may note the total number of students served by our programs in the prior year, but that information cannot be used to identify any one student. We may also share de-identified or aggregate data with research partners to help us analyze the information for product improvement and development purposes.

Records and information are de-identified when all personal information has been removed or obscured, such that the remaining information does not reasonably identify a specific individual. We de-identify Student Data in compliance with Applicable Laws and in accordance with the guidelines of NIST SP 800-122. Coursemojo has implemented internal procedures and controls to protect against the re-identification of de-identified Student Data. Coursemojo does not disclose de-identified data to its research partners unless that party has agreed in writing not to attempt to re-identify such data.

Coursemojo will not:

• sell Student Data to third parties;
• use or disclose Student Data to inform, influence, or enable targeted advertising to a student based on Student Data or information or data inferred over time from the student’s usage of the Products;
• use Student Data to develop a profile of a student for any purpose other than providing the Products to a School Customer or Authorized School User, or as authorized by a parent or legal guardian;
• use Student Data for any commercial purpose other than to provide the Products to the School Customer or Authorized School User, or as permitted by Applicable Laws.

Coursemojo may, from time to time, provide customized content to Authorized Users, provided that such advertisements shall not be based on Student Data or directed to K–12 students. Coursemojo may use de-identified Student Data to recommend educational products or services to School Customers and their Authorized Users (subject to exceptions permitted under applicable law), or to notify such users about new educational product updates, features, or services.

This Privacy Policy applies solely to Coursemojo’s Products and practices. Coursemojo School Customers and other Authorized Users may choose to connect or use our Products in conjunction with third-party services and Products. Additionally, our sites and Products may contain social media plugins (e.g. like or share buttons) as well as links to third-party websites or services. This Privacy Policy does not address, and Coursemojo is not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of such third parties. Customers should carefully consider which third-party applications to include among the Products and services they provide to students and vet the privacy and data security standards of those providers.

Authorized Users may be able to log in to our Products using third-party sign-in services such as Clever or Google. These services authenticate your identity and provide you with the option to share certain personal information with us, including your name and email address, to pre-populate our account sign-up form. If you choose to enable a third party to share your third-party account credentials with Coursemojo, we may obtain personal information via that mechanism. You may configure your accounts on these third-party platform services to control what information they share.

Coursemojo’s servers are hosted, managed, and controlled by us in the United States and are not intended to subject Coursemojo to the laws or jurisdiction of any jurisdiction other than that of the United States. If you are located outside the United States, you understand and consent to having Student Data collected and maintained by Coursemojo processed in the United States. United States data protection and other relevant laws may not be the same as those in your jurisdiction. This includes the use of cookies and other tracking technologies as described herein. 

Student Data

Coursemojo maintains a comprehensive information security program and uses industry standard administrative, technical, operational, and physical measures to safeguard Student Data in its possession against loss, theft and unauthorized use, disclosure, or modification. Coursemojo performs periodic risk assessments of its information security program and prioritizes the remediation of identified security vulnerabilities. Please see coursemojo.com/security for a detailed description of Coursemojo’s security program.

In the event Coursemojo discovers or is notified that Student Data within our possession or control was disclosed to, or acquired by, an unauthorized party, we will investigate the incident, take steps to mitigate the potential impact, and notify the School Customer in accordance with Applicable Laws. 

Other Data

Outside of Student Data, Coursemojo uses commercially reasonable administrative, technical, personnel, and physical measures to safeguard personal information in its possession against loss, theft, and unauthorized use, disclosure or modification.

What Rights Do You Have With Respect to Student Data?

Review and Correction.  FERPA requires schools to provide parents with access to their children’s education records, and parents may request that the school correct records that they believe to be inaccurate or misleading.

• If you are a parent or guardian and would like to review, correct, or update your child’s data stored in our Products, contact your School District. Coursemojo will work with your School District to enable your access to and, if applicable, correction of your child’s education records.
• If you have any questions about whom to contact or other questions about your child’s data, you may contact us using the information provided below. 

No third-party website tracking. Coursemojo does not track students across third-party websites and does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Coursemojo does not permit third-party advertising networks to collect information from or about students using Coursemojo educational Products for the purpose of serving targeted advertising across websites and over time and Coursemojo will never use Student Data for targeted advertising.      

What is our Deletion/Retention Policy?

Upon request, we provide the School Customer the opportunity to review and delete the personal information collected from students.

Student Data Retention. We will retain Student Data for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and our Agreement with the School Customer. We do not knowingly retain Student Data beyond the time period required to support a School Customer’s or Authorized School User’s educational purpose, unless authorized by the School Customer or Authorized School User. Upon request, Coursemojo will return, delete, or destroy Student Data stored by Coursemojo in accordance with applicable law and customer requirements. We may not be able to delete all data in all circumstances, such as information retained in technical support records, customer service records, back-ups, and similar business records. Unless otherwise notified by our School Customer, we will delete or de-identify Student Data after termination of our Agreement with the School Customer.

Except as described in the Appendix, we do not knowingly collect personal information from a Child User unless and until a School Customer or educator has, on behalf of a parent or guardian, authorized us to collect such information to provide the Products. We comply with all applicable provisions of COPPA. To the extent COPPA applies to the information we collect, we process such information for educational purposes only, at the direction of the partnering School District or State Agency and on the basis of educational institutional consent. If you are a parent or guardian and have questions about your child’s use of the Products and any personal information collected, please direct these questions to your child’s school.

We may change this Privacy Policy in the future. For example, we may update it to comply with new laws or regulations, to conform to industry best practices, or to reflect changes in our product offerings. When these changes do not reflect material changes in our practices with respect to use and/or disclosure of Authorized Users’ personal information, including Student Data, such changes to the Privacy Policy will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on our website. In the event there are material changes in our practices that would result in Authorized Users’ personal information being used in a materially different manner than was disclosed when the information was collected, with respect to Student Data, we will notify the School Customer, and with respect to other information, we will notify you via email and provide an opportunity to opt-out before such changes take effect.
