Educational Use and School Official
When an Educational Institution authorizes CheckIn AI for classroom or administrative purposes, CheckIn AI acts as a school official performing institutional services under the direct control of the Educational Institution, including with respect to the use and maintenance of education records. We use Student Data only for the purpose of providing the contracted educational service, follow the Educational Institution’s instructions regarding that data, and do not disclose or re-use it except as the Institution directs or the law permits.

Parental Consent Through Schools
If students under 13 use the Service through an Educational Institution, the school represents that it has authority to consent on behalf of parents or legal guardians for CheckIn AI to collect, use, and disclose Student Data solely for educational purposes, as permitted by COPPA. The school must notify parents of such use and provide them with our Privacy Policy. We provide Educational Institutions with clear notice of our data collection, use, and disclosure practices so they can make informed decisions on behalf of their students.
