Safety and Protections

In November 2018, we released our latest Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy. We hope you will review both of these, as the safety and security of your users is a top priority for us! We've worked hard to make them the best in education with simple language so anyone can understand what we mean. Here are the highlights:

1. We never sell or share any of your students' data. As per our privacy policy: "We neither rent nor sell your Personal Information or students' Personal Information to anyone." All personal information is kept secure and entirely private.
2. Furthermore, we use professional data security services - like Amazon's Web Services - to store data in the most secure way possible. Their servers are physically located in high-security data centers - the same data centers used to hold secure financial information. You can read more about their security measures here. Our database provider uses the same https security connections used by banks and government departments to store and transfer the most sensitive data.
3. Our site, by default, uses industry-leading SSL encryption across the board in all districts which allow it.
4. The most important regulation with regard to student's information is COPPA. To that end, we have vetted all of our data practices with TrustE and iKeepSafe, the online security certification provider, and have posted their seal of approval on our privacy page here.
5. Lastly, ClassDojo complies with the U.S. – E.U. Safe Harbor framework and the U.S. – Swiss Safe Harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of personal data from European Union member countries and Switzerland. ClassDojo, Inc. has certified that it adheres to the Safe Harbor Privacy Principles of notice, choice, onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, and enforcement.
