Socrait Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes how Socrait, PBC (“Socrait”, “we”, “our”, “us”) collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal data in connection with the socrait.com website and any other products or services that link to this Privacy Notice.

This Privacy Notice describes our privacy practices when you visit our website, create an account or otherwise engage with us. This Privacy Notice does not govern how our customers may process personal data when they use our services, or how we may process personal data on their behalf in accordance with their instructions where we are acting as their processor or service provider.

How we process personal data through our services

Socrait’s mission is to convert educators’ spoken words into educationally useful data. Our services listen to teachers as they speak and transcribe what they say into educational information and data they can use to reduce their administrative burden. Our AI-powered services are designed for use by school teachers, instructors, principals or other educational professionals (collectively, “Users”) to create transcripts of classroom audio, convert those transcripts into useful data, and provide related analysis.

A note about Student Data

The personal data related to students (“Students”) that is provided to Socrait by Users when using the services in a school setting may include information defined as “educational records” by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) or “covered information” under California’s Student Online Personal Information Protection Act (“SOPIPA”), or other information protected by similar student data privacy laws. Such information is described in this Privacy Notice as “Student Data.” We process this information as a service provider and as a “School Official” under FERPA for the applicable educational institution, such as a school, school district, school board, teacher or other institutional User (each, a “School”). Our collection, use and processing of Student Data is governed by our contracts with the User or with the applicable School, as well as by applicable laws like FERPA and state student data privacy laws, and not by this Privacy Notice. However, we’ve included the Student Data section below to help you better understand the principles which guide our collection, use and disclosure of Student Data that we process on behalf of our School Users.

Our Collection and Use of Personal Data

The categories of personal data we collect depend on how you interact with us and our services. For example, you may provide us your personal data directly when you visit one of our websites, sign up for our mailing list, register for an account, participate in an event or survey, or otherwise contact us or interact with us.

We also collect personal data automatically when you interact with our websites and other services and may also collect personal data from other sources and third parties.

We collect the following categories of personal data individuals provide us:

In that case, the additional privacy disclosures will govern how we may process the information you provide at that time.

Personal Data Automatically Collected

We, and our third-party partners, automatically collect information you provide to us and information about how you access and use our products and services when you engage with us. We typically collect this information through the use of a variety of our own and our third-party partners’ automatic data collection technologies, including (i) cookies or small data files that are stored on an individual’s computer and (ii) other, related technologies, such as web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies and logging technologies.

Automatic Data Collection Preferences

You may be able to utilize third-party tools and features to further restrict our use of automatic data collection technologies. For example, (i) most browsers allow you to change browser settings to limit automatic data collection technologies on websites, (ii) most email providers allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images in emails that may contain automatic data collection technologies, and (iii) many devices allow you to change your device settings to limit automatic data collection technologies for device applications. Please note that blocking automatic data collection technologies through third-party tools and features may negatively impact your experience using our services, as some features and offerings may not work properly or at all. Depending on the third-party tool or feature you use, you may not be able to block all automatic data collection technologies or you may need to update your preferences on multiple devices or browsers. We do not have any control over these third-party tools and features and are not responsible if they do not function as intended.

Targeted Advertising Preferences

We engage third parties to help us facilitate targeted advertising designed to show you personalized ads based on predictions of your preferences and interests developed using personal data we maintain and personal data our third-party partners obtain from your activity over time and across nonaffiliated websites and other services. The data we and our third-party partners use for purposes of facilitating targeted advertising, as well as to provide advertising-related services such as reporting, attribution, analytics, and market research, are primarily collected through the use of a variety of automatic data collection technologies, including cookies, web beacons, pixels, embedded scripts, location-identifying technologies and logging technologies. We may share a common account identifier (such as a hashed email address or user ID) with our third-party advertising partners to help link the personal data we and our third-party partners collect to the same person, or otherwise target advertising to an individual on a third-party website or platform.

In addition to taking the steps set forth in the Automatic Data Collection Preferences section above, you may be able to further exercise control over the advertisements that you see by leveraging one or more targeted advertising opt-out programs. For example:

Device-Specific Opt-Out Programs: Certain devices provide individuals the option to turn off targeted advertising for the entire device (such as Apple devices through their App Tracking Transparency framework or Android devices through their opt out of ads personalization feature). Please refer to your device manufacturer’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available device-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.
Digital Advertising Alliance: The Digital Advertising Alliance allows individuals to opt out of receiving online interest-based targeted advertisements from companies that participate in their program. Please follow the instructions at https://www.optout.aboutads.info/?c=2&lang=EN for browser-based advertising and https://www.youradchoices.com/appchoices for app-based advertising to opt out of targeted advertising carried out by our third-party partners and other third parties that participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s self-regulatory program.
Network Advertising Initiative: The Network Advertising Initiative similarly allows individuals to opt out of receiving online interest-based targeted advertisements from companies that participate in their program. Please follow the instructions at https://www.optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1 to opt out of browser-based targeted advertising carried out by our third-party partners and other third parties that participate in the Network Advertising Initiative’s self-regulatory program.
Platform-Specific Opt-Out Programs: Certain third-party platforms provide individuals the option to turn off targeted advertising for the entire platform (such as certain social media platforms). Please refer to your platform provider’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available platform-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.

Please note that when you opt out of receiving interest-based advertisements through one of these programs, this does not mean you will no longer see advertisements from us or on our services. Instead, it means that the online ads you do see from relevant program participants should not be based on your interests. We are not responsible for the effectiveness of, or compliance with, any third parties’ opt-out options or programs or the accuracy of their statements regarding their programs. In addition, program participants may still use automatic data collection technologies to collect information about your use of our services, including for analytics and fraud prevention as well as any other purpose permitted under the applicable advertising industry program.

Modifying or Deleting Your Personal Data

If you have any questions about reviewing, modifying, or deleting your personal data, you can contact us directly at [email protected]. We may not be able to modify or delete your personal data in all circumstances.

Partner-Specific Preference Options

Certain of our third-party providers and partners offer additional ways that you may exercise control over your personal data, or automatically impose limitations on the way we can use personal data in connection with the services they provide:

Device-Specific / Platform-Specific Preferences: The device and/or platform you use to interact with us (such as your mobile device or social media provider), may provide you additional choices with regard to the data you choose to share with us. For example, many mobile devices allow you to change your device permissions to prevent our products and services from accessing certain types of information from your device (such as your contact lists or precise geolocation data), and many social media platforms allow you to change your platform permissions to prevent integrated products and services from accessing certain types of information connected with your profile. Please refer to your device or platform provider’s user guides for additional information about implementing any available platform-specific targeted advertising opt-outs.
Google Analytics: Google Analytics allows us to better understand how our customers interact with our services. For information on how Google Analytics collects and processes data, as well as how you can control information sent to Google, review Google’s website here: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/. You can learn about Google Analytics’ currently available opt-outs, including the Google Analytics Browser Add-On here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. We may also utilize certain forms of display advertising and other advanced features through Google Analytics. These features may enable us to use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick advertising cookie) or other third-party cookies together to inform, optimize, and display ads based on your past visits to our services. You may control your advertising preferences or opt-out of certain Google advertising products by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager, currently available at https://www.adssettings.google.com/anonymous?ref=ps-tech&hl=en.

Children’s Personal Data

While our services may be used by Users to process personal data relating to Students, our services are not intended to be used directly by children themselves. We do not intentionally direct our services to children under 13, and we do not collect or solicit personal data directly from children under 13. For information on how we process Student Data through the provision of the Services to Schools, see the Student Data section below.

If a child under the age of 13 has provided personal data to us directly, we encourage the child’s parent or guardian to contact us to request that we remove the personal data from our systems. If we learn that any personal data we collect has been provided by a child under the age of 13, we will promptly delete that personal data.

Security of Personal Data

We have implemented technical and organizational safeguards that are designed to safeguard personal data. For Schools that provide us with a designated point of contact for security breaches, Socrait maintains a Student Data breach response protocol.

Student Data

To help Schools address their obligations to protect their students’ data privacy, we have implemented additional controls and procedures for Schools when they enter into a contract with Socrait to use the service for school purposes. When our services are used by Users on behalf of a School, the personal data related to Students that is provided to Socrait by the Users may include information defined as “educational records” by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”) or “covered information” under California’s Student Online Personal Information Protection Act (“SOPIPA”), or other information protected by similar student data privacy laws. We call this information “Student Data.”

As between us and the School, Student Data is owned and controlled by the School. Our collection and use of Student Data is governed by our contract with the User or with the applicable School and by applicable privacy laws. For example, we provide services to Schools as a “School Official” under FERPA and we work with Schools to help protect personal data from the Student’s educational record, as required by the FERPA.

We collect, maintain, use and share Student Data only for an authorized educational purpose and as described in our Agreement with the School, or as directed by the School or User.

We do not use, disclose, or sell Student Data for any advertising purposes.

We do not build a personal profile of a Student other than in furtherance of an educational purpose.

We maintain a comprehensive data security program designed to protect the types of Student Data maintained by our services. For more information about our security practices, please see the Security section above.

We will clearly and transparently disclose our data policies and practices to our users.

We will never sell Student Data unless the sale is part of a corporate transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, or other sale of assets, in which case we will require the new owner to continue to honor the terms provided in this Privacy Notice or we will provide the School with notice and an opportunity to opt-out of the transfer of Student Data by deleting the Student Data before the transfer occurs.

We will not make any material changes to our Privacy Notice or contractual agreements that relate to the collection or use of Student Data without first giving notice to the School and providing a choice before the Student Data are used in a materially different manner than was disclosed when the information was collected.

Data Security, Integrity, and Training

Socrait maintains administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal data and Student Data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These safeguards are intended to support the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data processed through our services.

Socrait is actively engaged in aligning its information security program with the ISO 27001 standards and incorporates risk-based security controls consistent with recognized industry best practices.

Socrait maintains a documented incident response and data breach response procedure and will investigate and respond promptly to any suspected or confirmed data security incident in accordance with applicable law, contractual obligations, and regulatory requirements. Where required, Socrait will notify affected customers and relevant authorities of a data breach within legally mandated timeframes.

All Socrait employees and contractors who may have access to Student Data are subject to background checks consistent with applicable laws and industry standards. Access to Student Data is limited to authorized personnel with a legitimate educational or operational need.

Socrait provides annual privacy and data protection training to employees, including training on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and applicable student data privacy obligations. Employees are required to comply with Socrait’s internal privacy, security, and acceptable use policies as a condition of access to systems containing personal data or Student Data.

How We Share and Disclose Student Data

We disclose Student Data solely as needed to provide our services on behalf of specific Schools in accordance with our contracts with those Schools. We may also disclose Student Data pursuant to the School’s instructions or with the consent of the School or the Student’s parent or legal guardian (“Parent“).

For example, Student Data may be disclosed to or accessible by Users who are authorized to use our services on behalf of the School. A School’s Users may choose to disclose Student Data through integrations with third party applications. Socrait is not responsible for the data practices of third parties and the School User is solely responsible for the consequences of providing or transmitting Student Data through third party integrations.

We may disclose Student Data to trusted service providers who have a legitimate need to access such information on our behalf, subject to appropriate contractual terms to protect such data. Our current list of service providers is available upon request.

We may also disclose Student Data in connection with a business transaction or to support our legal rights and obligations, as described in the Our Disclosure of Personal Data section of this Privacy Notice.

How We Use De-Identified Data

We may generate, use, and disclose de-identified information to recommend content or services relating to School purposes or other educational or employment purposes, as well as for development, research and improvement of our services. In addition, we may use de-identified information for the development and improvement of other educational sites, services and applications or technologies more generally to the extent permitted under applicable law. “De-identified information” means data from which all personally identifiable information has been removed or obscured so that the remaining information does not reasonably identify an individual and there is no reasonable basis to believe that the information can be used to identify an individual.

How We Retain Student Data

We will not knowingly retain Student Data beyond the time period required to support an educational purpose, unless authorized by the School.

Please note: Schools are responsible for managing Student Data which they no longer need for an educational purpose by submitting a deletion request.

If you are using our services on behalf of a School and wish to access Student Data, delete Student Data or close your account, please contact us at [email protected].

Questions About Student Data

If you are a Parent or Student and have questions about specific practices relating to Student Data processed by Socrait on behalf of a School, please direct your questions to your School. For example, Parents who wish to obtain copies of Student Data processed by Socrait on behalf of a School should contact the School directly to ask whether a copy can be made available.
