Student Data and FERPA Compliance

TaskFixer AI is designed as a teacher assistive tool. Teachers may upload student work samples for grading purposes. We understand the sensitivity of student information and are committed to FERPA compliance.

Our Commitments Regarding Student Data

We act as a "school official" with a "legitimate educational interest" under FERPA when processing student data on behalf of teachers and schools

Follow your school or district policies regarding the use of educational technology

Children's Privacy (COPPA)
