How is student data stored?
Sown To Grow stores all data in secure cloud-based data centers (located in the United States) using industry best practices on data security and encryption.
Who has access to student data?
The student, as well as the teacher (and any co-teachers) in the Sown To Grow classroom that they enter the data, as well as select school administrators. Students are not able to see other students’ data. Some District Administrators will see aggregated views of student data, but are only able to see data for specific students if they have been granted access to a particular school.
What happens at the end of the school year?
At the beginning of each school year, data from the previous school year is archived. Currently, this means that Students and Teachers no longer see this data. However, Administrators can see aggregated data from previous years as well as “year over year” portfolios.
Is data ever shared with third parties?
Sown To Grow does not share any individual student data with third-parties, with an exception for research purposes with permission from the School (in which case any student personally identifiable information is removed).
