Effective August 11, 2026 · Version 2.2
NUDGELEARN LLC ("we", "us", "our") operates the NudgeLearn Graderat nudgelearn.app, which teachers and parents use to grade student work. This policy explains what data it collects, how we use it, and your rights. We take children's privacy seriously; section 7 lists the student-privacy laws we hold ourselves to and how.
The Grader. Teachers and parents upload photos, scans or files of completed student work: worksheets, tests and essays. We grade that work and return marks, corrections and feedback. When a teacher or school uses the Grader, we process student work on their behalf, as their service provider, for the educational purpose of grading, and under their direction. Students do not have accounts and never sign in.
Schools and FERPA. When a school or district uses the Grader, we act as a school official with a legitimate educational interest under FERPA (34 CFR 99.31(a)(1)(i)(B)). We are under the direct control of the school with respect to the student records we handle, we use them only for the grading purpose the school directs, and we do not redisclose them to anyone except the sub-processors listed in section 5. The school remains the owner of its student data and can require its return or deletion at any time. We will sign a data processing agreement on request: see our Data Processing Addendum.
We do not sell data, use it for advertising, or share it with third parties beyond the service providers listed in Section 5. We do not load advertising or analytics trackers on Grader pages or any page that displays student work.
| Data type | Retention |
|---|---|
| Grader uploads & graded results (Free plan) | Kept while your account is active; papers auto-delete 90 days after upload (your 50 most recent are kept). Delete any paper on demand |
| Grader uploads & graded results (paid plans) | Kept until you delete the paper or your account; deleting your account purges all grader data |
| Student names, class and assignment labels | Kept while the class exists; deleted with the class or the account |
| Account data (teacher or parent) | Kept while the account is active; deleted within 30 days of account deletion |
| Billing records | Per Stripe's retention policy (7 years, tax and accounting) |
Our full written Data Retention Policy details the business justification for each retention period and the deletion mechanisms used.
We share data only with the following providers, solely to operate the service:
We operate the Grader to meet the student-privacy laws that apply to a service that works the way it does:
These statements are based on our interpretation of what each law requires of a service built the way the Grader is built.
Where a school or district is the account holder, requests about a student go through the school, since the school holds the education record. We support the school in meeting them.
If there is a breach. If student data we hold is exposed, we will notify the affected school or account holder within 72 hours of confirming it, describe what was affected and what we are doing about it, and support any notification the school itself has to make.
Information security responsibility: Our designated information security contact can be reached at hello@nudgelearn.app.
We will notify account holders by email before making material changes to this policy. Continued use after notice constitutes acceptance.
Privacy questions, access, export or deletion requests, and district data-protection paperwork all go to hello@nudgelearn.app, attention Privacy. We acknowledge every request within 3 business days and complete it within 15 business days. Schools asking for a signed agreement should start with our Data Processing Addendum.
