COPPA Notice

Children’s online privacy.

How OneTeam handles personal information from children under 13, in compliance with the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq., 16 C.F.R. Part 312).

Plain-English summary.OneTeam collects student data only at the direction of the school under FERPA’s school-official exception. We treat that authorization as substituting for individual parental consent under COPPA, as the FTC permits. Schools authorize us to collect only what’s needed for educational decisions, never for advertising or any commercial purpose. Parents can review, correct, or request deletion of their child’s data at any time.

1. Who this notice covers

This notice applies to personal information OneTeam collects, uses, or discloses from or about students under 13 who use OneTeam through their school’s authorization. Information about adult users (teachers, school administrators, parents, and guardians) is governed by our Privacy Policy.

2. The school-authorization model

OneTeam is provided to schools as an educational tool. Under the FTC’s guidance on COPPA in the school context (16 C.F.R. § 312.5; FTC COPPA FAQ Section M), a school may consent to the collection of student personal information on behalf of a parent when:

OneTeam meets both conditions. We collect student data only at the school’s direction, only for the educational decisions OneTeam supports (check-ins, MTSS tier reasoning, intervention tracking, family communication), and never for advertising, profiling, or any commercial purpose unrelated to the service.

Schools that adopt OneTeam are responsible for notifying parents of the data-collection practices described in this notice. OneTeam provides parents direct access to review the data through the OneTeam app and parent-rights workflows described below.

3. What information we collect from or about children

OneTeam may collect the following categories of personal information from or about students under 13:

OneTeam does not collect from children: precise geolocation, biometric identifiers, browsing or search history, social-graph data, audio or video, photos, or any data that is not directly required for the educational decision being supported.

4. How we collect it

OneTeam does not collect personal information directly from children. Children do not create accounts, do not log in, and do not submit data to OneTeam through any user interface. All data about children is entered by authorized adults (teachers, administrators) acting under the school’s authority.

5. How we use it

We use children’s personal information only to provide the OneTeam service to the school:

We do not use children’s personal information for: advertising, behavioral targeting, AI model training, market research, profiling, or any commercial purpose unrelated to the educational service.

6. Disclosure of children’s information

We disclose children’s personal information only to:

7. Parents’ rights

Parents and guardians of students under 13 have the following rights, exercisable at any time:

Contact your child’s school directly, or email privacy@oneteam.school. For full procedural detail, see Parents’ Bill of Rights.

8. Data retention

Children’s personal information is retained only as long as needed to provide the service to the school. Behavioral check-ins, tier history, and cycle evaluations are eligible for automatic deletion after 2 academic years by default (schools may configure shorter retention). When a school’s license terminates, all student data is deleted within 30 days, except as required by law.

9. Security

Data in transit is protected by TLS 1.2 or higher. Data at rest in our database is encrypted with AES-256. Access is governed by Row-Level Security so a teacher can only see students assigned to them, and an administrator can only see students within their authorized school. Every access and change is recorded in an audit log. Full details on Security.

10. Changes to this notice

We may update this notice. Material changes affecting how we collect, use, or share children’s personal information will be announced with at least 30 days’ prominent notice to schools. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
