4. Data Use Commitments

These commitments bind the parties within the agreed scope. Optional third-party services may be enabled only after the district approves their data use, retention, security, and contractual terms; an ecosystem name does not impose these terms on an uncontracted external provider.

  • Student data will be used only for the school-authorized educational purpose.
  • Student data will not be sold, leased, rented, or shared as defined by applicable state student privacy laws.
  • Student data will not be used for targeted advertising, behavioral profiling, cross-context advertising, data mining except for authorized educational purposes, or AI model training.
  • De-identified or aggregate data will not be re-identified or used to identify students.

6. Security and Breach Notification

  • Production deployments must use HTTPS and encrypted transport.
  • Hosted, MySQL, and standalone deployments must use encryption at rest for databases, disks, object storage, and backups.
  • Least-privilege access, MFA where available, secure backups, patching, and audit logging are required for backend/admin systems.
  • Security review is required before student use and at least annually for hosted, MySQL, SSO-enabled, or managed deployments.
  • Confirmed breaches involving student personal information must be reported through the breach notice contact method without unreasonable delay and no later than 72 hours after confirmation.

7. FERPA/COPPA and Student Personal Information

For this addendum, student personal information includes information that identifies, relates to, describes, or can reasonably be linked to a student or student household, including student names, account identifiers, student-created board content, uploaded media, audio recordings, submissions, comments, room participation data, and logs tied to a student.

When DrawSplatTM is used for the approved educational purpose, the deployment owner or service operator may be treated as a school official or authorized service provider under FERPA and similar student privacy laws, acting under the direct control of the school. For COPPA-covered students, the school or district may provide consent on behalf of parents when permitted by law and when DrawSplatTM is used solely for the approved educational purpose.

8. Subprocessors
