Trust & Privacy Center

Instructron is committed to transparency and responsible design in how we collect and use educational data. We prioritize privacy while delivering powerful experiences.

Our Approach to Privacy

At Instructron, we believe that effective learning tools should prioritize both educational impact and student privacy. Our platform is designed by educators who understand the classroom environment.

Transparent By Design

We're clear about what data we collect and why. We collect detailed learning activity data (answers selected, number of tries, time spent) to build powerful coaching experiences, while minimizing personal information collection.

Responsible AI

We work to demystify AI in education. Our platform helps both teachers and students understand how AI works, its limitations, and how to use it responsibly as an educational tool. We continuously improve our approach based on teacher feedback and real classroom experiences.

Our Privacy Principles

  • Teacher Empowerment: We give teachers control over how they set up their classroom, including the option for student anonymization.
  • Minimized Personal Data: We don't need or want full names, emails, or demographic info from students.
  • Responsible AI Integration: While some features like our writing coach require AI to function, we maintain strict privacy measures and give teachers full visibility into all interactions.
  • No Advertising: We never use student data for marketing or advertising purposes.
  • Focused Data Collection: We collect detailed learning activity data (not personal data) to improve coaching.

Privacy Roadmap

We're continuously working to enhance our privacy features. Here's what's next on our roadmap:

  • Formal FERPA and COPPA Review: We're in the process of conducting formal compliance reviews to ensure alignment with educational privacy laws.
  • Enhanced Teacher Controls: More granular privacy settings to give teachers even greater control over data visibility.
  • AI Opt-Out Options: Mechanisms to selectively enable or disable specific AI features.
