The TutorMe commitment to privacy

We envision a future where all learners are ready and inspired to solve the world’s greatest challenges, and that vision helps drive our decisions — from product design to our thoughtful approach to privacy and data protection.

How does TutorMe protect student data?

We take a proactive approach to protect information.

  • TutorMe does not share, sell, trade, or rent personal information.

  • We are FERPA compliant, meaning that schools always maintain certain rights over their student data.

We ensure schools maintain control over their student data.

  • Schools and districts that partner with TutorMe own and control their personal Student Information, and can request deletion of Personal Student Information at any time.

  • TutorMe does not use Personal Student Information beyond the purposes explicitly outlined in agreements.

We utilize industry-leading best practices to safeguard data.

  • We apply a combination of technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to protect student and consumer data.

  • We use military-grade TLS encryption across our products and websites to protect personal information in transit.

  • We restrict access to Personal Student Information on a "need-to-know" basis

We continuously test and assess to improve privacy practices.

  • We constantly monitor state and federal laws to ensure our policies meet — and exceed — legal requirements.

  • We have a dedicated Privacy Team that works across all divisions of the company to implement proactive privacy protections.

  • We work with experts and advocates to help us thoroughly examine industry-leading privacy topics.
