FULL LEGAL TERMS OF USE

1. AGREEMENT TO TERMS

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“User”) and Teachally, Inc. (“Teachally,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Services immediately. The Services are intended for users 18 years of age or older. Authorized school or district representatives under 18 may use the Services only under direction from their institution. District Agreements (for example, MSAs or DPAs) supersede these Terms where they conflict.

3. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Teachally provides AI-assisted tools that help educators create instructional materials. The Services are not directed to students. Teachally does not require Student Personal Information to use the Services. Teachers should avoid submitting Student Personal Information. If Student Personal Information is submitted, Teachally processes it only to provide the Services and in accordance with these Terms and the Privacy Policy. Access from other jurisdictions is at your own risk.

4. DEFINITIONS

4.1 Teacher Personal Information

Information such as name, email, school affiliation, account credentials, and usage metadata.

4.2 Student Personal Information (Restricted)

Any data identifying a student, including names, emails, IDs, or education records under FERPA (Student PI). Student PI is not required to use the Services. Teachers should not submit Student PI unless authorized by their school or district for educational purposes and only to the minimum necessary. If submitted, Teachally will treat Student PI as confidential and use it only to provide the Services.

4.3 Teacher-Generated Content

Instructional materials, prompts, text, files, and AI outputs created or generated through the Services.

5. STUDENT DATA POLICY (COPPA)

5.1 Student Personal Information Controls

Student Personal Information is not required to use the Services. Users must not input Student PI unless expressly authorized by their school or district and only to the minimum necessary, and subject to the restrictions in this Section 5.1. File uploads. Users must not upload any file that contains personal information of children under the age of thirteen (13). This prohibition applies regardless of authorization from a school or district. Uploaded files are transmitted to Teachally’s OCR Service Provider as received, because automated name detection cannot be performed on non-text file formats prior to OCR extraction. The OCR Service Provider operates under contractual terms restricting use of the content to OCR processing only, with no retention of inputs or outputs and no use for model training. Text input. For students thirteen (13) and older, Users may enter limited Student PI via text input if expressly authorized by their school or district and only to the minimum necessary for educational personalization. Detection and stripping. Teachally uses technical controls designed to detect and strip Student PI from text content before it is transmitted to downstream AI Service Providers used for instructional content generation. For uploaded files, this detection runs on the text extracted by the OCR Service Provider before downstream transmission. If Teachally detects a character string that may represent a personal name, Teachally prompts the User to confirm it is not a student name. Teachally does not store the flagged text or the User’s response. Accidental submission. If Student PI is submitted by accident, Teachally will use reasonable efforts to de-identify or delete it. Teachally will process any remaining Student PI only to provide the Services, maintain security, and provide support. Teachally will not use Student PI for advertising, marketing, commercial profiling, or AI model training.

5.2 COPPA

Teachally does not provide services to children under 13 and does not implement parental consent flows for direct child use. Teachally does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If Teachally becomes aware that it has collected such information, Teachally will delete it promptly.

5.3 FERPA

Teachally is intended to be used by educators on behalf of schools and districts. Student PI and Student Records are not required to use the Services. If a teacher inadvertently submits Student PI or Student Records through educator use, Teachally will treat that information as confidential education information and, to the extent Teachally receives it, Teachally acts as a service provider and, where applicable, a “school official” with a legitimate educational interest, as those terms are used in FERPA. Teachally will process such information only to provide the Services, maintain security, and provide support, and will use reasonable efforts to de-identify or remove the information when detected. Teachally does not use Student PI or Student Records, including any information inadvertently submitted by a teacher, for advertising, marketing, commercial profiling, or AI model training. Teachally restricts access to such information to authorized personnel and authorized Service Providers acting on Teachally’s instructions and only as necessary to operate the Services. Parents, guardians, and eligible students seeking to access, correct, or delete Student Records must submit requests through their school or district, including where the information was inadvertently submitted by a teacher. Teachally does not verify parent or student identity for FERPA requests. Teachally will assist the applicable school or district upon verified instruction, including by locating, exporting, correcting, or deleting the relevant information within Teachally systems to the extent it exists and is reasonably retrievable.

5.4 AB 1584

Teachally does not require pupil records to provide the Services. To the extent Teachally receives pupil records under the direction of a California Local Education Agency, Teachally will comply with California Education Code section 49073.1 (AB 1584) as applicable, including restrictions on use and disclosure and support for deletion upon verified LEA instruction.

The Services may contain links to, or may enable access to, third-party websites, services, integrations, tools, or resources that are not owned or controlled by Teachally (collectively, “Third-Party Resources”). Third-Party Resources are made available for convenience only and do not constitute an endorsement by Teachally. Teachally does not control Third-Party Resources and is not responsible for their availability, content, accuracy, security, or practices. Your use of any Third-Party Resource is at your own risk and is subject to the third party’s terms and policies. Nothing in this Section 13.1 is intended to limit Teachally’s obligations under applicable law or any written district agreement with respect to Teachally’s own Services and data handling.

13.2 Service Providers, Subprocessors, and Compliance

Teachally engages third-party vendors and contractors to help operate, support, and secure the Services (“Service Providers”). Service Providers may include providers of hosting, storage, content delivery, security monitoring, email delivery, customer support, and analytics. Teachally remains responsible for its own legal and contractual compliance obligations. Teachally does not transfer responsibility for compliance to Service Providers by virtue of using their services. Teachally requires Service Providers, by contract and as appropriate, to: (a) process data only on Teachally’s documented instructions and only to provide services to Teachally, (b) implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, and (c) comply with applicable privacy and security obligations. Teachally maintains a third-party assessment and monitoring process designed to evaluate Service Providers for alignment with Teachally’s policies, including practices related to collection, use, security, retention, and disclosure of data, and to re-assess providers on a periodic basis. Teachally may use privacy-enhancing controls and technical measures designed to reduce exposure risk, including data minimization, access controls, encryption, and de-identification of content where feasible.

13.3 AI Service Providers

Teachally may use third-party AI providers, including large language model providers, document-understanding and OCR providers, and related AI infrastructure providers (collectively, “AI Service Providers”), to process teacher prompts, extract content from uploaded files, process Teacher-Generated Content, and generate outputs within the Services. AI Service Providers act as Service Providers and subprocessors to Teachally. Teachally uses contractual and technical controls designed to: (a) send only the information reasonably necessary to fulfill a request; (b) restrict AI Service Providers from using Teacher-Generated Content to train their models, except where a User has provided explicit opt-in consent or where required by law; and (c) protect Teacher Personal Information through appropriate safeguards. Student PI is not required. Teachally strips Student PI from text content where detected prior to transmission to downstream AI Service Providers. For uploaded files that require OCR extraction, detection runs on the OCR output before downstream transmission; Users are prohibited under Section 5.1 from uploading files containing personal information of children under 13, and should otherwise avoid submitting Student PI unless authorized. Teachally’s current subprocessor list (including provider URLs) is maintained in the Teachally Privacy Policy.

15.1 FERPA and California AB 1584 Compliance

Teachally is designed to minimize Student Personal Information and does not require Student Records to provide the Services. Teachally uses controls designed to detect and strip Student PI from text content before transmission to downstream AI Service Providers. For uploaded files, detection runs on text extracted by the OCR Service Provider before downstream transmission. Users are prohibited under Section 5.1 from uploading files containing personal information of children under 13. If Student PI or Student Records are submitted to Teachally, including by accident, Teachally will treat that data as confidential education information and will use it only to provide the Services, maintain security, and support the user. Teachally will not use it for advertising, marketing, commercial profiling, analytics unrelated to service operation, or AI model training. For California Local Education Agencies, to the extent Teachally receives pupil records under LEA direction, Teachally will support AB 1584 obligations as applicable, including deletion upon verified LEA instruction.

15.2 Analytics and Technical Data Collection

Teachally collects limited analytics and technical data to operate, secure, and improve the Services. This data may include usage patterns, browser type, IP address, device information, user actions within the platform, and feature engagement metrics. Analytics data is used exclusively for service-related purposes, including performance monitoring, bug detection, user experience improvements, and aggregate reporting. It is not used for behavioral advertising, commercial profiling, or training AI models. Where applicable, Teachally uses privacy-enhancing measures such as pseudonymization, aggregation, and access controls.
