How is pupil data protected?

Pupil data is handled carefully and with safeguards in place. This means:

• teachers are asked to position the device to avoid capturing pupils’ faces
• teachers are asked to let pupils know when they are recording and share age-appropriate info sheets
• recordings are only used for research if there are no pupil opt-outs in that class
• any transcripts used for research have names and other identifying details removed
• recordings are automatically deleted after 30 days
• teachers can delete a recording immediately after they stop recording, before it is uploaded, if something sensitive is captured (for example, confidential information or pupils coming into view).
