Privacy Policy
This privacy page summarizes the current Instagrity data posture in practical terms. It is intended to support teachers, schools, reviewers, and families who want to understand what data the product handles, why it is handled, and where school or organization-level review still matters.
- Product data
- Accounts, classes, essays, annotations, grading records, and support submissions
- Primary use
- Sign-in, classroom workflows, essay review, feedback release, and support operations
- School review
- FERPA, COPPA, local privacy, and contracting review remain school responsibilities
- Current vendors
- Supabase, Vercel, OpenAI, and Resend may process limited service data
Information Instagrity currently handles
Instagrity may store account details, profile names, class and roster information, assignment details, essay text, feedback data, annotations, premium entitlement records, support submissions, and system activity records required to operate the service.
How information is used
Data is used to authenticate accounts, organize classes, publish assignments, accept writing submissions, generate or display grading results, release teacher feedback, support account and billing workflows, maintain system security, investigate issues, and operate the service responsibly.
Student writing, classroom records, and school-authorized use
When Instagrity is used in a classroom or school context, student writing, student identity details, grades, and related workflow records may constitute education records or student records under FERPA or similar local rules. Instagrity is designed to support school-authorized educational use, but each school, district, teacher, or organization remains responsible for determining whether the service fits its own legal, policy, and parent-notice requirements.
COPPA and age-related use
If children under 13 use Instagrity, the service is intended to be used only under school, teacher, parent, or other legally appropriate authorization. The school or responsible organization remains responsible for deciding whether COPPA consent, direct notice, or related obligations apply in its deployment context.
AI and model-assisted processing
Instagrity may process essay text and grading context through AI-assisted workflows when grading or AI feedback features are enabled. Premium teacher seats and teacher entitlement rules govern whether those AI features are available for a given classroom workflow. AI-related processing may involve third-party vendors used to operate the service.
Advertising and non-premium use
Instagrity may introduce advertising or sponsorship surfaces for non-premium experiences over time. If advertising is present, Instagrity intends to keep educational records, school-facing workflows, and core account security separate from any advertising delivery logic. Public-facing policy language may be updated as those surfaces mature.
Retention, deletion, and archive handling
Instagrity may retain essays, classroom records, profile information, premium entitlement records, and system logs for operational, security, support, backup, and school-service reasons until they are deleted through product workflows, administrative handling, or future contractual deletion schedules. The current implementation also includes an administrator-controlled deleted-essay archive for recovery and audit purposes.
Service providers and subprocessors
Based on the current architecture, Instagrity may rely on Supabase for authentication and database services, Vercel for hosting and analytics surfaces, OpenAI for AI-assisted grading or feedback processing when enabled, and Resend for email-delivery workflows. Additional providers may be introduced as the product evolves.
Disclosure and legal process
Instagrity may disclose information where required by law, to protect the rights or safety of users or the service, to investigate abuse or security incidents, or to operate the platform through authorized vendors and subprocessors acting on Instagrity’s behalf.
