Effective Date: August 27, 2026
Last Updated: August 27, 2026
Grade My Teacher ("Grade My Teacher," "we," "us," or "our") respects the privacy of students, parents, teachers, and other users of our application and related services (collectively, the "Services").
This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use and protect that information, when information may be shared, and the choices available to users and parents or legal guardians.
By using Grade My Teacher, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We seek to collect only information reasonably necessary to provide and improve the Services.
Depending on how you use the Services, we may collect:
Account Information
If you create an account, we may collect information such as your name, email address, account credentials, age or age range, and information necessary to establish whether the account belongs to a student, parent, teacher, or other user.
Google Sign-In
Grade My Teacher may allow users to create or access an account through Google Sign-In.
When Google Sign-In is used, Google may provide us with information associated with the Google account and authorized by the user, which may include the user's name, email address, profile information, and other information made available through the applicable Google authentication service.
We use this information to authenticate users, create and maintain accounts, and provide the Services.
Google processes information in accordance with Google's own privacy policies and terms.
Teacher Ratings and Evaluations
Grade My Teacher collects responses to structured questions concerning a teacher's classroom performance.
Questions may address matters such as:
Whether the teacher paid attention to the student;
Whether the teacher was helpful;
Whether the teacher treated students fairly;
Whether the teacher was respectful or kind;
Whether the teacher explained material clearly;
Whether the teacher gave students sufficient time and assistance; and
Other classroom-experience questions presented through the application.
Individual daily responses may be combined with other responses to produce weekly, monthly, semester, or other aggregate evaluations.
Weekly Reviews
Users may have the option to provide a written weekly overview or review.
Users must not include unnecessary personal information, confidential information, medical information, contact information, or other sensitive information about themselves, teachers, classmates, or other individuals.
Shared Content
Certain features may allow users to share ratings, reviews, or other permitted content with other authorized users.
Because shared content may be visible to other users, users should carefully consider what they submit.
My Safe Space
My Safe Space allows a user to send a private message to a trusted recipient, such as a parent, guardian, counselor, teacher, or other trusted adult.
Messages may contain information voluntarily provided by the user.
My Safe Space is intended to provide a means for a user to communicate a concern or seek help. It is not an emergency service.
2. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Grade My Teacher may be used by children under 13 and is designed to support participation by students and parents.
We recognize the special privacy concerns associated with children's information and intend to comply with applicable children's privacy laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") where applicable, as well as applicable state, federal, and international privacy requirements.
Where parental consent or another form of legally required authorization is required, we will use an appropriate mechanism before collecting or using children's personal information in circumstances requiring such consent.
Parents and legal guardians may have rights concerning their child's information, including the right to:
Review information collected from their child;
Request correction of inaccurate information;
Request deletion of their child's personal information;
Withdraw consent where applicable; and
Request that further collection or use of their child's information cease, subject to applicable law.
Parents or guardians may contact us using the contact information provided in this Privacy Policy to exercise applicable rights.
3. PARENTAL CONTROLS
Where Grade My Teacher provides parental controls, parents or legal guardians may be able to manage or restrict certain features available to a child, including applicable sharing or communication features.
Certain features involving the exchange of freeform information may require adult action or authorization before they are made available to child users.

Users should not use My Safe Space for emergencies.
If a person is in immediate danger, they should contact a trusted adult, 911, or appropriate emergency services.

Any other information that is not reasonably necessary for the intended purpose of the feature.
We may remove content that violates our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines.
8. DATA SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. DATA RETENTION
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, maintain appropriate records, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, prevent abuse, comply with legal obligations, or otherwise fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, anonymize, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal requirements.
