GT School, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company,” “we,” or “us”) respect your privacy in connection with GT Anywhere. This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) describes how we collect information from and about you and/or your children (collectively referred to as “you”/“your”), what we do with that information, and your privacy rights. By accessing our website or using any applications, mobile apps, or other technological products or services made available to you in connection with the Company (the “GT Technology”), you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy in addition to any other agreements we may have with you.

This Privacy Policy applies to personal data processed by the Company in conjunction with use of GT Technology, and discloses information concerning data collection, usage, and sharing about you as a user of GT Technology. This Privacy Policy specifically describes such activities about an applicant, student, or child in Section 13 and has additional information about parents in Section 14, including rights of parents with respect to children under the age of 13.

IMPORTANT

The educational success of GT Anywhere relies on extensive data collection and analysis in order to help students achieve measurable, accelerated results. Similar to how data analytics are used in elite professional sports to optimize performance, we may use every available lawful means to improve a student’s academic growth. The data collection and processing described in this Privacy Policy are integral to the GT Anywhere experience and a necessary part of the overall program. Some specific examples:

  • Test Scores: Academic and cognitive test scores (including NWEA MAP assessments and TimeBack platform performance data) prior to and during the program are collected, tracked, and analyzed.
  • Recordings: All group sessions, Academic Advisor check-ins, cohort meetings, and online sessions may be recorded with audio and/or video, including interactions on Zoom or any similar system.
  • Activity Tracking: Screenshots, browser activity, and screen recordings will be captured while a student is working on GT Technology. Keyboard and mouse activity will also be tracked. Webcams, microphones, and online meeting tools may be used to record the student as part of GT Technology.
  • Productivity Gamification: Productivity and XP progress may be tracked in order to display progress indicators or provide rewards, and the purchase or redemption history related to those rewards may be tracked and analyzed.

We intend to proceed with additional data collection in the future, or in specific student cases, which may involve the use of additional software, hardware, or mobile phone applications. For example, if a student has poor sleep habits impacting learning, sleep tracking using an iPhone or activity tracker may be implemented to analyze and suggest improvements. Or if students are taught focus or mindfulness practices, a monitoring device and app may be used to collect data for analysis.

We provide certain options to opt out of data collection that may be sensitive, and may provide additional or different opt-out options in the future. Nevertheless, if you exercise an option to opt out of particular data collection on your student’s device, your student may still be subject to recording on another device where the parent has not exercised the right to opt out.

Our intent is to leverage GT Technology and data to their fullest in order to put your student in the best position to learn and grow at maximum velocity. If you do not wish to participate in this data-driven model, please explore alternative educational options.

2. Information Collected Automatically or From Others

Automatic Data Collection

We may collect certain information automatically when you use GT Technology. This information may include your Internet protocol (IP) address, user settings, MAC address, cookie identifiers, mobile carrier, mobile advertising and other unique identifiers, geolocation, details about your browser, operating system or device, location information, Internet service provider, pages you visit before, during, and after using GT Technology, information about the links you click, and other information about how you use GT Technology. Information we collect may be associated with accounts and other devices. GT Technology may collect precise geolocation information in accordance with applicable law.

In addition, we may automatically collect data regarding your use of GT Technology, such as the types of content you interact with and the frequency and duration of your activities. Unless contrary to applicable law or contractual agreement, we may combine your information with information that other people provide when they use GT Technology.

Cookies, Pixel Tags / Web Beacons, Analytics, and Other Technologies

We, as well as third parties that provide content or other functionality on GT Technology, may use cookies, pixel tags, local storage, and other technologies (“Analytics Systems”) to automatically collect information through GT Technology.

  • Cookies: Small text files placed in visitors’ computer browsers to store their preferences. Most browsers allow you to block and delete cookies; however, GT Technology may not work properly if you do so.
  • Pixel Tags / Web Beacons: A piece of code embedded in GT Technology that collects information about users’ engagement, such as recording that a user has visited a particular page or clicked on a particular item.
  • Analytics: We may use analytics services including Google Analytics to help us understand how students use GT Technology. You may opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Information from Other Sources

We may obtain information about you from other sources, including through third-party services and organizations to supplement information provided by you. For example, GT Technology may collect information from third-party learning applications (including the TimeBack platform) and compile that information as part of GT Technology. If you access GT Technology through a third-party application or social networking site, we may collect information you have made public via your privacy settings, such as your name, user identification number, location, email, and profile picture.

Capabilities of Student Devices

GT Technology collects data from students’ devices to help deliver the minimum learning commitment. Specific capabilities include:

  • Website and App Activity: Monitors the URL of each website and app that a student accesses to help identify and categorize the activities a student is performing (e.g., minutes per day spent on TimeBack vs. off-topic browsing). For some learning applications, student answers and grades are forwarded to our back-end systems to track progress. Certain websites are blocked to encourage focused learning.
  • Screen Recording: Records screenshots and continuous video of screen activity, which our system reviews to help identify learning behaviors or detect academic dishonesty. These recordings may be monitored to implement lockdowns and send notifications when violations occur.
  • Keyboard and Mouse Activity: Monitors keyboard/mouse activity to determine if the student is idle. Exact keystrokes are not captured.
  • System Audio: Records system audio to add context to screen recordings, for example when an on-screen program is speaking to the student or a reading app is reading aloud.
