Student Privacy Policy

Through our Services, we provide a suite of student interactive tools, such as Magicore Academy (“Student Tools”), for use by Members of our Services who have appropriate authority from their school, school district, or other educational institution (“Teachers” and “schools” respectively). Our Student Tools allow a Teacher to exchange schoolwork, provide assignments and assessments, and receive responses from their students (“Student Users”) for a range of educational purposes. These exchanges may involve Student Personal Information. “Student Personal information” as used in this Policy has the same meaning given under applicable data privacy laws such as “Personal Information” as defined under the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act (COPPA). We are committed to protecting the privacy of all the Student Users we serve. This Student Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how we, Common Core Kingdom, LLC DBA MagiCore (“MagiCore”, “we”, “us, “our”), treat Student Personal Information. By clicking “I accept,” or by registering to use or using a Student Tool, the registrant (“you”) agrees to our collection and use of Student Personal Information in accordance with this Policy, and you represent and warrant that you are a Teacher, and that you have the authority to bind your school under this Policy. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy as applicable.

How Student Users may Access our Services. You may use our Student Tools with Student Users if (i) you use them in an education setting, (ii) the use is permitted by your school, and (iii) you are a Teacher authorized to provide consent for your Student Users to use our Student Tools, and to disclose Student Personal Information to us.  Once we have these assurances, we collect Student Personal Information from your Student Users only after you have created a Student Account and invited the Student User to use a Student Tool. More specifically, we permit a Student User to access our Services only through a Student Tool, and a Student User is permitted to access the Student Tool only after you initiate that access by creating a student account and sharing the login details with the Student User. If we find that anyone under the age of 18 has accessed or attempted to access our Services other than as permitted herein, we will remove those individuals and any personal information they may have provided from our system.

COPPA. COPPA requires operators of online services that collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13 to obtain “parental consent”, and to comply with certain rules with regard to how personal information collected from such individuals is processed, secured, and disclosed. COPPA permits schools and teachers using such online services in the education setting to act as the parent and provide consent to the operator of an online service to collect personal information from students who may be under the age of 13, for the use and benefit of the learning environment. When a Teacher connects with Student Users through Student Tools, we collect certain information (“Student Information”) — which may include Student Personal Information. We have adopted this Policy and the processes and protocols described herein to ensure that we’re meeting the requirements of COPPA, as applicable.

FERPA. Student Information may include information considered to be an education record subject to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (“FERPA”). To the extent that FERPA applies to any Student Information we may receive as a result of your or your Student Users’ use of the Student Tool, MagiCore acts as a “school official” (as that term is used in FERPA).

Limited Use. Our Student Tools are intended to create interactive learning experiences between students and teachers and deepen student engagement with their learning materials, not to sell anything to students.

  • No Ads. We do not display, place, or allow any third-party ads on any Student Tools or other parts of our Services enabled for use by Student Users.

You may use initials or an alias to further protect your students’ information.

    • Response information: Using a Student Tool, Student Users can provide responses to questions, add content to materials shared by their Teacher, or otherwise enter or provide information to their Teacher (“Responses”). Such Responses may include text, drawings, answers to multiple choice questions, and other materials or uploads, including video, audio, and other content or formats as the Student Tool may allow.

We collect this information to ensure that our Services are working and properly configured for different devices and browser types. We do not use a Student User’s IP address or device information to identify or track their precise location or movements.

    • Authentication Cookies: We store authentication cookies in order to enable our Services to identify and properly authenticate each returning user and ensure that users are only able to access their own information, and for anonymous session tracking so we understand overall usage.

If Student Users collaborate on a Response, collaborating Student Users will be able to see each other’s names and added Response information.

We choose Service Providers who have agreed to maintain reasonable security and privacy controls, and, when available, our Service Providers are contractually obligated to protect the security and confidentiality of Student Personal Information consistent with this Policy.

  • Safety, security, and law enforcement requirements. We may disclose Student Personal Information, in response to valid requests from law enforcement bodies, such as a court order, subpoena, or other official request for information. We may disclose Student Personal Information to Service Providers and as needed to other third parties for purposes of protecting the safety and security of Teachers, Student Users, and others, and for the security of our systems, including the detection and prevention of fraud and violations of law. 

Security. The security of Student Personal Information is very important to us. We maintain, consistent with accepted industry practice, administrative, technical, and physical safeguards reasonably designed to protect against unauthorized use, disclosure of, or access to Student Personal Information, such as:

  • Password Protection. Access to Student Personal Information requires authentication to our Service with the Student User’s or Teacher’s login credentials. We set minimum password requirements to help further prevent unauthorized access. You can help keep your information secure by keeping those login credentials confidential and choosing a strong password.

  • Encryption. Data entered into our Student Tools is encrypted in transit using transport layer security (TLS). We utilize one-way encryption for all teacher passwords. 

  • Data Access. In order to minimize the impact of any unauthorized access to Student Tools, Student Data (except for Student Name and a list of assignments) cannot be accessed from the Student Tools. Data like Responses and Corrections are only available to the Teacher using the Teacher login.
  • Location. Our Servers are located in the United States.

  • Firewalls. We utilize industry-standard firewalls to detect and protect against malicious traffic.

  • Incident Response. We maintain an incident response plan consistent with industry standards and comply with federal and state law requirements in the event of a data breach which includes as applicable, direct notification of impacted users by email or other means as may be required.

  • Periodic Assessment and Vulnerability Monitoring. We engage in continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities and conduct periodic vulnerability testing to ensure the security of our Student Tools.

Information Retention and Choices. 

  • How long we keep Student User information: We retain Student Personal Information only as long as necessary to provide the Services related to the Student Tool. Except for earlier disposal in response to a valid deletion request or because we otherwise determine that that data is no longer necessary for the provision of the Services, Student Personal Information will be retained for as long as the Teacher associated with such Student User is an active Member of our Services, and for some time thereafter as needed to fulfill our legal obligations.

  • Access, deletion, and correction requests: In accordance with COPPA and to support schools’ FERPA obligations, we facilitate parental requests for access to, correction of, and (as applicable) deletion of Student Information. Parents wishing to make such requests should contact their child’s teacher or school to begin that request and we’ll work with the school to fulfill that request. We allow Teachers to access, correct, or delete Student Information as needed.

Links to Web Properties Not Owned by MagiCore: The Student Tools may contain links to content, pages, videos, or other web properties that are not owned or otherwise controlled by MagiCore (“External Content”). For example, the Student Tools may contain a link to a YouTube video. Teachers are responsible for monitoring External Content and providing parental consent for any collection and use of personal information that may occur when Students access External Content. 

Other. 

  • Modifications to this Policy. We may make changes to this Student Privacy Policy from time to time. For any material changes, we’ll notify you in advance via email and/or through on-site notifications.

In such an event, we’ll notify you in advance of that change so you can make an informed choice.
