Seesaw may retain information for up to 60 days to provide customer support and prevent accidental deletion when asked for the contents to be deleted.

We do not sell or share any data you provide with third parties except in the limited circumstances detailed below:

We use a small number of third-party services in order to operate and improve Seesaw – for example a data center operator that manages our servers or a notification service that helps us send you messages about your account. These services need access to your personally identifiable information in order to work (i.e. your email address is required to send you email), but are contractually prohibited from using that information for any other purpose other than to provide the Seesaw service. In cases of onward transfer to third parties of data of EU individuals received pursuant to the EU-US and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield, Seesaw is potentially liable. A list of the third-party services that obtain personally identifiable information we currently use can be found here. When these third-party services transfer the personal information (Personal Data, as that term is defined in GDPR) of EU residents, these services are processors and are contractually bound to also comply with GDPR to protect your data privacy and security.

Seesaw may disclose your information to a third party to comply with applicable laws or regulations, or a valid legal request - including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. If we are going to release your data, we will do our best to provide you with notice in advance by email, unless we are prohibited from doing so by law.

Seesaw may disclose student Account Information and Journal Content to the child’s school district upon request, as required by FERPA.

By default Activities teachers create are private to their account. Optionally, teachers may choose to publish Activities they create to the Community Activity Library or the Activity Library managed by their school or district.  In these cases, the activity and the teacher’s Activity Author Profile will be shared publicly (in the case of the Community Library) or with other teachers at their school or district. No student responses to Activities are ever shared.
We may share activities published to the public Community Activity Library with teachers who we think may be interested in using them with their class.
We may disclose or transfer your Account Information and Journal Content in connection with the sale, merger, bankruptcy, sale of assets or reorganization of our company. We will notify you if a different company will receive your information. The promises in this Privacy Policy will apply to your data as transferred to the new entity.

Information from your Google Account or other Third-Party Sign-in Service: Seesaw allows teachers, parents, family members, and students (after being invited by a teacher) to sign up for and log into our service using a Google or Clever Account. Teachers can also create student accounts on behalf of students in their class.  When Seesaw create an account using one of these Third-Party Services, Seesaw use the name, profile picture, and email address (if available) provided by these services.

Teachers using Seesaw to communicate with Families may add a family member’s email or phone number to Seesaw in order to send messages or updates about school work to the appropriate parent or family member.

Students cannot create an account by themselves, but must be invited to a Seesaw class by a teacher or school administrator. Where students have permission to use Seesaw, Seesaw collects personally identifiable information about them including their names, email addresses, and profile picture. This information may be entered by a teacher or the student or populated from the student’s account with a third party sign-in service, such as their Google account.

Journal Content: Seesaw also collects content that is added to a class or student journal.  This content may be photos, drawings, files, notes, hyperlinks, and other ways of documenting student learning. We regularly add types of information that can be uploaded to a Journal, and these are all covered by this Policy.  We also collect comments on posts in your class journal which may be text, or if you allow Seesaw to access the microphone on your device, voice recordings. Journal Content that is uploaded by a student or teacher may be considered a student education record as defined by FERPA.

Messages: Seesaw collects messages that are sent and received in Seesaw by teachers, family members, and students.
Activities: Teachers may use Seesaw to create activities to use with their students.  Activities may include text or voice instructions for how to complete the activity, an example of a correct response or a template for students to edit.

Activity Author Profiles: Teachers who choose to publish activities to the Community Activity Library or the Activity Library managed by their school or district can also create an Activity Author Profile.  This includes the name and profile picture they choose to publish on their Author Profile, as well as their school name and location.

Communications: Seesaw collects any information you send to us directly, such as email communications.
