AI systems & automation

What AI touches your data, and what doesn't

No AI system, internal or external, is in the path of customer session data.

No customer data trains any AI model.

We do not feed your students’ video, audio, whiteboard, or chat content into any AI model. We do not use customer data to train, fine-tune, or evaluate AI of any kind. This is contractual and survives termination.

No third-party AI agents are embedded in the customer experience without explicit opt-in.

Where AI features exist, they are clearly labeled, configurable at the account level, and disabled by default for K–12 customers.

The full inventory is published.

A complete list of any AI systems with access to production is included in the Customer Assurance Package and reviewed during our SOC 2 audit cycle, including scope, controls, and audit-log paths. Material changes are published in the compliance changelog with thirty days’ notice.
