Introduction

EZ Reward, LLC, operating as “Teachally,” is dedicated to maintaining the privacy and security of its users’ information. We proactively safeguard Personally Identifiable Information (PII) by adhering to stringent data anonymization practices and regulatory standards, such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Our commitment to these safeguards ensures that users’ personal information is protected against unauthorized sharing or use.

Information We Collect

We collect the following information for the sole purpose of delivering educational services:

Teacher Information: This includes the teacher’s name, email address, school, and state.
Lesson Planning Data: Attachments submitted by teachers for lesson planning purposes.
Non-Identifiable Data: We may collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the functionality of our platform.

Data Confidentiality

All personal data provided to Teachally remains confidential and is stored securely on our servers. We do not share any personal information with third parties unless explicitly authorized by the user.

Data Anonymization

Before transmitting any data to third-party AI models, all PII, including names and identifiable details, is stripped from the data to ensure anonymity. No PII is shared with third-party services used to provide educational standards or other analytics.

Teacher Confirmation for Names

If a name is detected in the lesson content submitted by a teacher, we verify with the teacher to confirm that it is not a student’s name. This is a critical step to prevent the inadvertent sharing of student information.

Compliance with Privacy Laws

FERPA: Teachally fully complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, ensuring the protection of student records. We do not store any personally identifiable student information (PII) beyond what is necessary to provide our services.
COPPA: Our platform is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will promptly delete it.
GDPR: Users in the European Union (EU) have the right to access, correct, or delete their personal data. We follow GDPR’s data minimization, purpose limitation, and other key principles.

How We Use the Information

Provide our educational services
Communicate with users (e.g., platform updates, service improvements)
Improve lesson planning and content analysis

We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with third parties except as required by law or authorized by the user.

Data Security Measures

Teachally employs industry-standard security measures, including encryption and regular security audits, to protect the confidentiality and integrity of data stored on our servers. Our security protocols are regularly updated to address emerging threats.
