Privacy and Security Overview
Protecting student data shouldn't be overwhelming. WeWillWrite is built on these core privacy principles: data minimization, transparency, and putting schools in control.
Read on for an overview of our privacy practices, security measures, and compliance commitments. For complete details, please see our full Privacy Policy.
COPPA and FERPA compliant
WeWillWrite is fully compliant with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). We also comply with Canadian federal and provincial privacy laws and state-specific student privacy legislation like:
New York’s Ed Law 2-D
California’s SOPIPA (Student Online Personal Information Protection Act)
Illinois’ SOPPA (Student Online Privacy Protection Act)
We operate as a "school official" under FERPA, processing student data solely under the direct control of schools and districts.
Data minimization
We collect only what's essential for educational purposes, and only for as long as necessary. For students, we collect:
First and last name for identification and progress tracking (no student logins)
Class association to connect students with their teacher
Device recognition to improve reliability and user experience
Student work (texts written) for teacher review and learning assessment
No selling or sharing of data
We will never sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties for any purpose. We do not display personalized ads, create behavioral profiles, or use student data for commercial or non-educational purposes.
Protecting your information
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your data:
Encryption: Data encrypted in transit and at rest
Secure authentication: Industry-standard password hashing and multi-factor authentication (MFA)
Access control and confidentiality: Our team has signed confidentiality agreements and can only access data necessary for their role. Role-based access control (RBAC) is enforced.
Trusted infrastructure: All servers located in the United States with enterprise-grade security
Regular backups: Daily backups stored securely with zone redundancy
Commitment to responsible AI
We are committed to transparent, ethical Artificial Intelligence (AI) practices:
No training on personal data: We do not use teacher or student information to train AI models, and our third-party AI providers don't either.
Personal information excluded: Student names, schools, and IP addresses are not included in AI prompts
School control: Student-generated content remains part of the education record under school control
