Privacy Policy & End User License Agreement

Welcome! AXIOM Dashboard  — Elevation Education Solutions, LLC.  “Elevation-Ed”, "EES", “we”, “us”, “our”) is an educational technology company that provides K-12 schools and school districts with software facilitating workflow integration and communication integration through the use of online educational data along with technology management. The privacy of each and every user matters to us, and we strive for transparency in all of our data privacy practices, especially when it comes to identifying the information that we collect, use, share, and disclose, as well as how we help keep your information safe. We take our responsibility to protect your information very seriously. Please remember that we are always here to answer any questions you have, and we look forward to working with you for years to come.

This Product Privacy Policy (“Product Privacy Policy”) explains how we collect, use, share, disclose, and protect information collected from and about Schools using our AXIOM Dashboards and such School’s Authorized School Personnel. Our AXIOM offerings include the following:

  • AXIOM Dashboard® Administrator
  • AXIOM Dashboard® Teacher
  • AXIOM Dashboard® Counselor
  • AXIOM Dashboard® District

By using our Offerings, you, the school or school district (“School,” “you,” “your”), are declaring that you have read and understand this Product Privacy Policy. If you are acting on behalf of a School, you represent and warrant that you are at least eighteen (18) years old and have the authority, the right, and the capacity to legally bind the school and have read and understand this Product Privacy Policy. AXIOM Dashboard’s Combined Terms of Service and End User License Agreement ("EULA") apply to how we treat your information.

Information Provided Directly to Us through our AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings

The information that we collect depends on the AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings and features within those AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings that a School uses. We collect some information directly from a School (e.g., information collected when signing up to use our AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings) or directly from the School’s students (e.g., browsing information). We also collect some information automatically (e.g., AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings usage information).

School and School Official Information

AXIOM Dashboard® collects the following information that we collectively label as “School Information”:

  • School Profile Information: When an official of a School ("School Official") initiates contact through our Website for AXIOM Dashboard’s Offerings on behalf of his/her School, we collect that School Official’s contact information as well as information about his/her School relevant to purchasing and setting up our AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings. This information includes the School Official's name, email address, and phone number, as well as the School’s name, address, billing address, number of devices, number of students, and network configuration. If the School Official creates an account for Elevation Education Solutions' AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings, the School Official must also create a AXIOM Dashboard® password.
  • Authorized School Personnel: Following a School Official’s establishment of a School account with AXIOM Dashboard®, the School Official can use AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings to add additional School personnel such as other School Officials and teachers (together, "Authorized School Personnel") from their School and designate their appropriate permission levels in AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings.
  • Additional Information About Authorized School Personnel: Depending on the AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings and features selected by a School, EES can collect additional information about Authorized School Personnel, including chat messages between students and teachers using AXIOM Dashboard® Teacher, AXIOM Dashboard®-generated unique account identifiers, and other relevant unique identifiers (e.g., Google Classroom identifiers if School integrates Google Classroom with AXIOM Dashboard® Teacher). This information may change if a School and/or Authorized School Personnel utilize new features and/or AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings.

Personal Student Information

In providing our AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings to Schools, we collect information that may, alone or in combination with other available information, be reasonably used to identify a current or former student enrolled in a K-12 School (“Personal Student Information”).

EES only collects Personal Student Information on school-managed devices and/or accounts where a School has already registered with AXIOM Dashboard® and chosen to use AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings. Schools in the United States must also provide appropriate consent and/or obtain consent to the extent required by applicable law, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and state student privacy laws, unless a relevant legal exception applies.

The Personal Student Information collected by our AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings on behalf of a School depends on the particular AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings and features selected by a School and the particular settings enabled or disabled by the School. Pursuant to such selection, the Personal Student Information that we collect includes:

  • Student’s School-Managed Account Information: AXIOM Dashboard’s Offerings collect a student’s School-managed account information: student’s name, email address, Google Profile ID, Google Image URL, and organizational unit as well as device identifiers necessary to associate a student with a certain device and settings. Additionally, AXIOM Dashboard® may also need to associate a student with a particular teacher’s classroom by using a Google classroom identifier or other identifier.
  • Activity Information: Depending on a School’s currently selected AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings, features, integrations and settings, AXIOM Dashboard® may collect additional information, about online account or activity, including chats (within AXIOM Dashboard® Teacher), a teacher’s browsing history, IP address, online content, snapshots and key percentage variance (but not the actual inputs or sequence of inputs) to identify patterns like gaming.
  • Grade and Attendance Information: Depending on a School’s currently selected AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings, features, integrations, and settings, AXIOM Dashboard® may receive grade and attendance information.
  • Location Information: Using AXIOM Dashboard® Admin, a School can collect the geographic location of devices for the purpose of locating and recovering its devices. AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings can collect IP addresses while AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings are active, no precise geographic login locations of mobile phones can be accessed or stored by AXIOM Dashboard®.

The Personal Student Information collected may change if a School utilizes new features and AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings.

Parent/Guardian Information

If a School chooses to utilize AXIOM Dashboard’s messaging feature (such as to enable a School to send important automated notifications to a parent/guardian about his/her child), EES may receive certain information about a student’s parent(s)/guardian(s). Specifically, EES may receive a parent’s/guardian’s name, email address, and optionally phone number from the School. To learn whether your child’s School is using this messaging feature or how to update a child’s legal parent/guardian contact information, please contact your child’s School and follow the instructions below in the section below titled “Requests from Parents, Legal Guardians, Eligible Students, and Authorized School Personnel”.

How We Share Information Collected Through Our Offerings

We may share or disclose information in the following ways:

  • Authorized School Personnel Access: Each School determines which Authorized School Personnel have access to the School’s account with AXIOM Dashboard’s Offerings and their permission levels.
  • Third Parties Supporting Our Offerings: We only share information with third parties who have privacy practices in line with our own, that assist us in performing business-related functions that support our Offerings. For example, we use hosting services and customer service tools to help support our offerings. When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function.
  • With School Permission or at School Direction: We may share or disclose information, including Personal Student Information, to third parties pursuant to a School’s instruction or with a School’s permission. For example, if a School chooses to integrate AXIOM Dashboard’s Offerings with another third party company’s products or services, then we will share information as instructed. With your permission, we may also share or disclose your name and other content through a testimonial video or quotation.
  • Protection of AXIOM Dashboard® and Others: We may share or disclose certain information if we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary or appropriate to (i) protect or defend the rights, safety, or property of EES or third parties, including to defend or enforce our Product Privacy Policy, EULA, or any other contractual arrangement; or (ii) to respond to claims that content violates the rights of third parties.

  • Business Transfer: We may share or disclose certain information, in connection with or during negotiations of any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company. If such transfer is subject to additional mandatory restrictions under applicable laws, EES will comply with such restrictions. The successor entity will be bound by our privacy policy, or users will have a choice of whether or not to send data to the new entity. New entity will also be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, including student privacy laws. In connection with such a transaction, we will also work to ensure that the successor entity has a commitment to student privacy.
  • De-Identified Information: We may use, share, or disclose De-Identified information (as that term is defined in our EULA) for various purposes such as product development, research, and marketing, in compliance with relevant laws. For example, we may use aggregate, anonymous data to publish an e-Book on Schools’ most utilized online educational resources.

 

How Long We Keep Information

We retain Personal Student Information as directed by the School:

  • School’s Request for Deletion or Transfer of Personal Student Information: Elevation Education Solutions, LLC. acts upon a School’s documented instructions to delete Personal Student Information during and after all School licenses to AXIOM Dashboard® have expired, unless we are required to retain such information to comply with our legal obligations with law enforcement, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. Upon instruction to delete Personal Student Information, Elevation Education Solutions, LLC. will take reasonable efforts to delete and/or de-identify such information in a commercially reasonable amount of time under applicable laws. At the termination of all of the School’s licenses with Elevation Education Solutions, LLC., Elevation Education Solutions, LLC. and the School may agree to transfer the School’s Personal Student Information back to the School. In that case, similar to deletion requests, Elevation Education Solutions, LLC. will act upon a School’s documented instruction to transfer the School’s Personal Student Information to the School and take reasonable efforts to transfer such information in a commercially reasonable amount of time under applicable laws, unless we are required to retain such information to comply with our legal obligations, or with law enforcement, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. 
  • Deactivated Accounts: We may consider a School’s account to be terminated 365 days after all of a School’s AXIOM Dashboard® licenses expire without use, reactivation, or renewal by the School. At that time, if a School has not requested deletion of Personal Student Information, we will automatically de-identify and/or delete the School’s Personal Student Information within a commercially reasonable period of time as long as that information is not necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements. All Personal Student Information retained will remain subject to our Product Privacy Policy that was in effect at that time — even after the deactivation of an account or termination of a contract.

We generally retain information other than Personal Student Information for as long as it may be relevant to the purposes above or as required or permitted by law. To dispose of any personal information, we may anonymize it, delete it or take other appropriate de-identifying steps. Please note that information may persist in copies made for backup and business continuity purposes for an additional period of time.

Please note, however, that certain information may be exempt from such requests in some circumstances, which may include if we need to continue processing an individual’s information for our legitimate interests or to comply with a legal obligation. We may request that an individual and/or School provide us with information necessary to confirm the individual’s identity before responding to your request. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us as described further in the “How to Contact Us” section below.

Your choices about School Information (Except School Profile Information), Personal Student Information, and Parent/Guardian Information:

  • Cooperation with Schools.We will assist the School in facilitating requests relating to Authorized School Personnel Information and Personal Student Information pursuant to the School’s instruction as explained further in the “How Long We Keep Information Collected Through AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings" or in the “Your Legal Rights Under Local Law” sections above.
  • Requests from Parents, Legal Guardians, Eligible Students, and Authorized School Personnel:
    • Review, Correction, and Deletion Requests. If a parent, legal guardian, eligible student, or Authorized School Personnel wishes to request a review, correction, deletion of Personal Student Information or School Information, he/she should contact the appropriate School Official of his/her or his/her child’s School. Elevation Education Solutions, LLC. will cooperate with the School to fulfill requests pursuant to the School’s verification and instruction within a commercially reasonable amount of time and in compliance with relevant law. If you are Authorized School Personnel, please note that we may be required to maintain certain School Information if directed to do so by your School Official on behalf of your School employer or as needed by Elevation Education Solutions, LLC. to enforce our legal rights.
    • Transfer Requests. AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings allow Authorized School Personnel to download information on behalf of a parent, legal guardian, eligible student, or School Personnel. If AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings do not cover the scope of the transfer request, AXIOM Dashboard® will, following documented instructions from the School, honor the requests from the parent, legal guardian, eligible student, or Authorized School Personnel for the transfer of Personal Student Information or personal data of the Authorized School Personnel by utilizing the same guidelines as described above in “Review, Correction, and Deletion Requests” in compliance with and as required by relevant law.
    • Transfer Requests for Student-Generated Content. California law requires website operators to transfer student-generated content to the student’s personal account when requested by an eligible student, parent, or guardian. AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings are not used as the primary platform for students to submit their own content. To the extent that students in California, or in other states with similar transfer laws, submit their content on AXIOM Dashboard® Offerings, the appropriate parent, guardian, or eligible student may submit a request to support@elevation-ed.com to transfer this information to him/her. Following verification of the requestor’s authorization to receive the information (which may require verification by the requestor’s School), we will provide the student-generated content that we have in a commercially reasonable amount of time in either a CSV or other mutually-agreeable format. Please note that we cannot guarantee retention of student-generated content.
