Trust & Security
Built for schools that take student data seriously.
The short version: we don't sell your students' work, we don't share it with other schools, and we don't train AI on it. The full version is below, written for data officers, not lawyers.
No training on student work
Your students' writing never trains an AI model. Not ours, not anyone else's. Ever.
No selling. No sharing.
Not to advertisers. Not to other schools. Not to other teachers. Not to anyone.
Teachers approve every grade
AI suggests. Teachers decide. No grade is final without a teacher saying so.
Photos pass through. Records stay.
Photos are processed for grading and then discarded. The grades and rubrics you confirm stay with your account.
Your school's AI policy comes first
Bring your AI policy. We adapt to it without changing how your teachers work.
Delete any time.
One click in your account wipes your runs, grades, and student records. No retention, no escrow, no excuses.
Data flow
How student work moves through Grade Coach.
- 1A teacher uploads photos of student work.
- 2Photos are sent to the AI model provider for analysis.
- 3The model returns suggested grades against the teacher's rubric.
- 4The teacher reviews, edits, and approves every grade.
- 5The teacher exports the grade sheet (CSV / Google Sheets / PDF).
- 6Photos are discarded when the grading session ends. Grades, rubrics, and your edits stay with your account so you can return to them, never used to train AI, never sold, never shared.
