K12 AI Connect Privacy Policy
Our Commitment
K12 AI Connect is built from the ground up with student privacy as a foundational design principle, not an afterthought. We believe the strongest privacy protection is not collecting data in the first place.
What We Do Not Collect
K12 AI Connect does NOT collect student names, email addresses, student ID numbers, dates of birth, location data, browsing history, behavioral data, or any personally identifiable information.
What We Do Collect
- Class access codes with no student identity attached.
- Session-based generation counts that reset when the tab closes.
- Flagged content categories — not the content itself.
- General anonymous usage patterns only.
How AI Content Is Processed
Student prompts pass through our backend proxy briefly so we can apply safety moderation, rate limiting, and server-side credential management, then are forwarded to OpenAI's API (text, image, speech) or Apiframe / Suno (music) to generate a response. We do not write prompts or AI responses to any database, and we do not associate prompts with any student identity (we don't have one). OpenAI's API Privacy Policy specifies that API data is not used to train models by default.
FERPA Compliance
Because K12 AI Connect does not collect education records or PII, the platform operates outside the scope of FERPA requirements. Districts can deploy without a FERPA data sharing agreement.
COPPA Compliance
K12 AI Connect does not collect personal information from children of any age. No parental consent mechanisms are required because no personal information is collected.
Student Work and Creations
Student content is saved locally on the student's device — not uploaded to or stored on K12 AI Connect servers. Teachers collect work through Google Forms within their district's Google Workspace.
Third-Party Services
- OpenAI API for text, image, and speech.
- Apiframe / Suno API for music generation.
- Google Fonts for typography.
No personally identifiable student information is shared with any third party — because we never collect any. The prompts a student types are sent to the AI provider that generates the response (this is how generative AI works), but they are not tagged with names, IDs, emails, or any other identifying data.
Data Security
K12 AI Connect runs as a browser-first web application backed by a thin same-origin proxy. The proxy exists so AI provider credentials never reach the browser, and so we can enforce safety moderation and rate limits server-side. Prompts and AI responses pass through the proxy in transit only — they are not written to any K12 AI Connect database. Student work that a student chooses to save (stories, art, music) is stored in the student's own browser (localStorage on their device), not on our servers.
