Privacy & student data

Speak & Learn Spanish is designed for elementary schools. This page summarizes how the platform handles student information. It is not legal advice; schools should review it with their counsel (COPPA, FERPA and state student-privacy laws).

What we store about students

• First name, last initial, an optional full name used only for the “Spell Your Name” activity, a hashed 4-digit PIN, class and group membership.
• Activity results: the text transcript of each spoken answer, whether it was correct, the help used (hint or model), confidence and timestamps.

Voice

• Audio recordings are not stored. The microphone is on only while an oral activity is running, with a visible indicator and a stop button.
• To recognize speech, audio is sent to the speech provider configured by the school (Microsoft Azure Speech or Google Cloud Speech-to-Text). If none is configured, Chrome's built-in recognizer is used, which sends audio to Google.

No advertising

There is no advertising and no tracking for marketing. Data is never sold. Each school's data is separated from other schools.
