Our Privacy Policy outlines exactly what information we collect and how we use it, but here’s the high-level overview:
Brisk Teaching aims to access only the minimum amount of data necessary to provide meaningful support for teaching and learning. We treat all student information as confidential and never use it for any purpose other than delivering the Brisk Teaching service to schools.
Brisk only accesses data in the specific moments when you choose to use a tool. For example:
- If you ask Brisk to adjust the reading level of a webpage, Brisk needs access to the text on that page.
- If you ask Brisk to give feedback on student work, it needs access to that piece of student work to generate feedback.
Brisk never accesses data outside of what you intentionally use the tool on.
