Student information collected is limited to what is required for the teachers to identify the students in their class. This includes: username, password, name and grade. Only this information is stored securely online for students.
Furthermore, Typing Agent understands the importance of protecting student data and information. Personal student information is NOT required to be able to use the Typing Agent or Typing Agent Home program. In light of this, the only parties that have access to student information will be: District Administrators, Teachers and Typing Agent support and this is strictly limited to customer or technical support purposes only.
In the event of an unauthorized disclosure of a student’s records, Typing Agent will report to the master account holder of the affected school or district in an app communication and email as to the depth and breadth of the data breach and provide messaging that can be shared with the parents of legal guardians of the students.
In addition, following a one year period of time after a school or districts account expires, student identifying records will be deleted from our database archives and no longer available for use by Typing Agent For reporting purposes, an overview report of the school or districts progress (excluding student identifying data) will be retained for analytical purposes. Prior to this one year period and during the duration of the Typing Agent
subscription, students, parents, teachers, and administrators can print a report of an overview of the work that the student accomplished while on the program.
Please note: student passwords are visible to teachers and administrators of the program. Best practice is NOT to have students use common passwords or passwords they use elsewhere.
Typing Agent shall take actions to ensure the security and confidentiality of all students, including but not limited to designating and training responsible all employees on ensuring the security and confidentiality of student records, by securely storing student data behind a 256 Bit secure SSL certificate. Schools and districts have control over how they would prefer to identify their students within the Typing Agent program. In addition, only Typing Agent support staff, teachers or school administrators have access to student records. The minimal student identification information that is required to use Typing Agent, is a username. Personal student contact information is NOT required to be able to use the Typing Agent program. Typing Agent does allow schools or districts to enable third party single sign on applications.

We will share information if required in order to comply with the law or to protect ourselves against third party claims.
