Last Updated: 9/13/2024‍

Welcome to MagicSchool, operated by Magic School, Inc ("MagicSchool"). We provide teachers and school staff with online access to generative artificial intelligence tools through our website, browser extensions, and other services (collectively our "Services"). At MagicSchool we prioritize safety and respect your privacy.
‍
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, share, or otherwise process your personally identifiable information ("PII" or "personal data") when you visit our website or use our other Services. The categories of information we collect and how it is used will depend on your interactions with us.

If you use our student-facing features or products, such as MagicStudent, please see our Student Data Policy to learn more about how we process Student Data. If you are a teacher, school, school district or other educational institution (“Educational Institution”) that uses our student-facing Services such as MagicStudent (“Student-Facing Services”) for an educational purpose, then the use of the Student-Facing Services is subject to our Student Data Privacy Addendum. For all Student-Facing Services, the Student Data Privacy Addendum is incorporated herein by reference unless your Educational Institution has entered into a separate agreement with us that includes reasonably equivalent protections with regard to student data.

What Data We Collect
MagicSchool collects the following types of personal data when you visit our Websites or use our Services. We take steps to minimize the collection of personal data from the product to only what is necessary to provide the services.
1. Information We May Collect via Technological Means.
  Our servers, which are hosted by a third-party service provider, collect certain technical data about your device and software, including your browser type, operating system, IP address (a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet, which may vary from session to session and may indicate your general location), domain name, and/or a time stamp of your visit. We automatically gather this data and store it in log files each time you visit our website or access an account on our network. Unless you have provided PII in connection with your use of the Services (for example, by creating an account), we cannot use such technical data to identify your name or contact information.
  We may also directly collect analytics data, or use third-party analytics tools, to help us measure traffic and usage trends in connection with the Services. We collect and use this analytics information in aggregate form such that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual.
2. Cookies, web beacons and other tracking technologies.
  We may also use various technical mechanisms such as cookies, web beacons and similar tracking technologies to monitor how users use our Services. "Cookies" are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer's hard drive while you are viewing a website. "Web beacons" refer to various tracking technologies used to check whether you have accessed some content on our Services. We use cookies for the following purposes, specifically:
  - Performance Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources, so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site.
  - Functional Cookies: These cookies allow the provision of enhanced functionality and personalization, such as videos. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these features may not function properly.
  - Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site may not work then.
  We may link the information we store in cookies or through other mechanisms to the PII you submit while using our Services. We may use both session cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience on our Services. You can remove persistent cookies at any time by following the directions in the "Help" section of your Internet browser. You can also disable all cookies on your Internet browser. If you choose to disable cookies, be advised that you can still visit our Websites, but some components of our Services may not be available or work properly.
  
  We do not allow third-parties to use a user’s data to create an automated profile or engage in data enhancement for the purposes of personalized advertisement.
  
  We use third-party analytics and tracking tools solely to help deliver and improve our Services. These third-party service providers are prohibited from using your personal information for their own purposes, including creating profiles or engaging in targeted advertising.
3. Information Provided by You When Visiting Our Websites.
  You may visit our Websites if you wish without creating an account or providing us with any information about yourself.
  
  However, if you decide to use certain Services, you may be asked for information that we need in order to provide you with the Services requested. For example, if you decide to sign up for newsletters from us, attend a demonstration or virtual event, create an individual account to use our Services, or apply as an organization to join our AI Innovators program or other offerings, MagicSchool may collect some or all of the following PII from you: (1) first and last name, (2) school or organization name, (3) role or job title, (4) email address, (5) phone number, (6) location information including state/province and country, and (7) where applicable, a user-generated password for your account. You may also be provided the opportunity to provide a profile image or other information for your account profile.
  ‍
  If you provide us with feedback or contact us via email (e.g., in response to an employment or a program application on our Website), we will collect your name and email address, as well as any other content or information included in or attached to your email, in order to send you a reply. If you order Services from us for a fee, we may also collect information needed for billing and payment purposes that will be processed through a secure third-party payment processor.
  ‍
  We may combine the information we collect directly from you with information we obtain from public sources, partners, and other third parties and use such combined information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
How We Use the Data We Collect.
In summary, we use your personal data to respond to your requests, to provide, secure, and enhance the Services, and to comply with our legal obligations. In particular, MagicSchool uses your PII for the following purposes as necessary and as permitted by applicable law:

We may also use such anonymized information to help train our AI models or use aggregated information publicly to show trends about the general use of our services. All customer data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit via TLS.

Third-Party Online Analytics Services
In connection with our Website and emails, we may use third-party online analytics services, such as those of Google Analytics.

Third-Party OpenAI Services
We utilize OpenAI's application program interface ("API") to power the AI functionality of our Services. While we strive to maintain the highest level of data security, we encourage you to review OpenAI's API Privacy Policy separately to understand their data handling practices. We are committed to ensuring that the use of OpenAI's API aligns with applicable data protection laws and regulations. We have opted OUT of sharing data with OpenAI to train models.OpenAI will not use data submitted by our users via our API to train or improve our models, unless you explicitly decide to share your data with us for this purpose. You can opt-in to share data. Any data sent through the API will be retained for abuse and misuse monitoring purposes for a maximum of 30 days, after which it will be deleted (unless otherwise required by law).

Other Third-Party Services
It's important to us that we keep your information safe and secure. In order to help Magic School provide, maintain, protect and improve our services, Magic School shares information with other partners, vendors and trusted organizations to process it on our behalf in accordance with our instructions, Privacy Policy, and any other appropriate confidentiality, security or other requirements we deem appropriate. These companies will only have access to the information they need to provide the Magic School service. You can find information on these partners and subprocessors we work with in our DPA here. This list may change over time, and we’ll work hard to keep it up-to-date.

We do not share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes, including direct marketing. We do not permit contextual advertisements, marketing, or other third-party advertising and promotion in our services. This policy applies to all users, regardless of location. Your personal data will only be shared with third-party service providers in order to fulfill the specific services you have requested from Magic School and in compliance with this Privacy Policy.

MagicSchool's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Personalized Advertising
We do not use or disclose Student Data for targeted advertising purposes. Specifically, personalized advertising (ads based on a user’s personal information) is not used or displayed in Magic School’s products. We are committed to protecting the privacy and data of our students. We do not share student data with third-party advertisers or use it to create profiles for advertising purposes.

Automated Decision-Making
MagicSchool does not use in connection with the Services automated decision-making, including profiling, in a way that produces legal effects concerning you or which significantly affects you.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
To the extent permitted by applicable law, MagicSchool may disclose your PII in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers.
  We may engage our affiliates or third-party organizations or individuals to support us in connection with the purposes listed above, such hosting providers, subcontractors, and third-party payment processors.
- Law Enforcement.
  It may be necessary − by law, legal process, litigation, and/or requests from public and governmental authorities within or outside your country of residence − for MagicSchool to disclose your PII. We may also disclose your PII if we determine disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce our terms and conditions or protect our operations or users.
- Business Transfer.
  We may share your PII if MagicSchool engages in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, reorganization, sale of some or all of MagicSchool's assets, financing acquisition of all or a portion of our business, a similar transaction or proceeding, or steps in contemplation of such activities (e.g., due diligence).
- Prior Consent.
  We may also disclose your PII in other circumstances with your prior informed consent. Service providers acting on our behalf are obliged to adhere to confidentiality requirements no less protective than those set forth herein and will only receive access to your PII as necessary to perform their functions.
How We Protect Your Data -- Security
We are committed to protecting the security of information received via the Services, including PII. If we collect PII from you, we provide reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical security controls designed to protect your PII from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. Despite our efforts, no security controls are 100% risk-free, and MagicSchool does not warrant or guarantee that your PII will be secure in all circumstances. If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your account credentials and passwords secure and not allowing others to use your account.
Student Data.
When an Educational Institution makes our student-facing services such as MagicStudent available to students, MagicSchool may collect and process personal information related to identifiable students (“Student Data”). MagicSchool collects and uses Student Data for educational purposes only as authorized by the Educational Institution and subject to its control. MagicSchool enters into student data privacy agreements with individual Educational Institutions which govern our use and responsibilities for Student Data. We process Student Data solely as directed by the applicable Educational Institution under these agreements. For more information about the principles that guide our collection, use and disclosure of Student Data, please refer to our Student Data Policy. You can also contact an Educational Institution directly if you would like to learn more about its privacy practices.

No student profile or student work is made available or visible to the public or to any other students directly from the service. Educators may allow their students to share their work with other students, educators, school administrators in their school, but no mechanisms exist to allow students to publicize or "post" directly from the service.

Other than the above, the Services do not directly provide any other form of messaging or communication between users.

  You may request that we delete your account information by sending an email to security@magicschool.ai, but please note that we may be required (by law or otherwise) to keep this information and not delete it (or to keep this information for a certain time, in which case we will comply with your deletion request only after we have fulfilled such requirements).

3. Information Processed Under the Direction of Customers.
  If a school or other organization has registered for the Services (a "Customer") and your PII has been collected by MagicSchool as a result of such organization's use of the Services, MagicSchool collects and processes any such PII of yours under the directions of the relevant Customer. If these circumstances apply to you and you wish to access, edit, delete, or exercise any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws with respect to any PII that we have collected about you, please direct your query to the relevant Customer as this may expedite the completion of your request. We nevertheless provide reasonable assistance to our Customers to give effect to data subject rights as appropriate and required by applicable laws.
Links to Third-Party Sites
Our provision of a link to any website or location outside of the Services is for your convenience and does not signify our endorsement of such other website or location or its contents. When you click on such a link, you will leave our site and go to another site. During this process, a third party may collect data, including PII, from you. Please be aware that the terms of this Privacy Policy do not apply to these outside websites or content, or to any collection of data after you click on a link to a third party. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy statement of any other website you visit.

In the event that MagicSchool transfers your Personal Data from the European Economic Area ("EEA") to a country which is not subject to an adequacy decision by the European Commission, or which may not provide for the same level of data protection as the EEA, MagicSchool will ensure that the recipient of your PII offers an adequate level of protection. This may include such measures as entering into standard contractual clauses for the transfer of data as approved by the European Commission, gaining your prior consent, or other appropriate measures in accordance with applicable law.

- Your California Privacy Rights.
  If you are a California resident, the CCPA allows you to make certain requests about your personal information. Specifically, the CCPA allows you to request us to:
  - Inform you about the categories of personal information we collect or disclose about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting your personal information; and the categories of third parties with whom we share/disclose personal information.
  - Provide access to and/or a copy of certain personal information we hold about you.
  - Delete certain personal information we have about you.
  - Provide you with information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any.
The CCPA further provides you with the right not to be discriminated (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising your rights. Please note that certain information may be exempt from such requests under California law. For example, we need certain information in order to provide our services to you. We also will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request. In doing so, we may ask you for verification information so that we can match at least two verification points with information we maintain in our files about you. If we are unable to verify you through this method, we shall have the right, but not the obligation, to request additional information from you.
Please also note that if your personal information has been collected by MagicSchool as a result of a Customer's (as defined above) use of our services, MagicSchool collects and maintains your personal information under the directions of the relevant Customer. If these circumstances apply to you and you wish to access or delete any personal information that we have collected about you, please direct your query to the relevant Customer as this may expedite the completion of your request. We nevertheless provide reasonable assistance to our Customers to give effect to consumer choices as appropriate and required by applicable laws.
‍
If you would like further information regarding your legal rights under California law or would like to exercise any of them, or if you are an authorized agent making a request on a California consumer's behalf, please contact us at security@magicschool.ai.
‍
The CCPA provides certain rights if a company "sells" personal information, as such term is defined under the CCPA. We do not engage in activities that would be considered "sales" of personal information under the CCPA.

Shine the Light Disclosure: The California "Shine the Light" law gives residents of California the right under certain circumstances to request information from us regarding the manner in which we share certain categories of personal information (as defined in the Shine the Light law) with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

Do Not Track Signals: MagicSchool does not track users over time and across third-party websites and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track ("DNT") signals from web browsers. Further, because there currently is no industry standard concerning what, if anything, a service should do when they receive such signals, we currently do not take action in response to these signals.
Other State Laws
Data protection laws change and update frequently, and we endeavor to always comply with applicable laws where we operate. If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding the handling of your personal information, contact us at security@magicschool.ai. Please note we may take reasonable steps to verify your identity and the authenticity of the request.

‍
Profiling. MagicSchool does not use in connection with the Services automated decision-making, including profiling, in a way that produces legal effects concerning you or which significantly affects you.
‍
Specific location and other sensitive data.

Supplemental Incident Response Plan Overview. The information below provides an overview of MagicSchool’s basic incident response plan. For the full detailed policy, please contact security@magicschool.ai.

MagicSchool's incident response plan follows a structured process to address data breaches and security incidents. Initially, the IT Security Team is responsible for detecting and identifying the incident and promptly documenting relevant details upon detection. Following this, the Data Protection Officer and IT Security Team assess the scope and impact of the incident within 24 hours, determining the types of data affected and the number of individuals involved.

The containment phase involves immediate action to prevent further data loss, which may include isolating affected systems or revoking access privileges. This is carried out by the IT Security Team and Network Administrators as soon as possible post-identification. Notification to relevant internal stakeholders is the responsibility of the Legal Department and Data Protection Officer, with specific procedures in place for teacher PII breaches in compliance with EdLaw 2D, requiring notifications to affected individuals, regulatory bodies, and other necessary entities within 72 hours of assessment.

The investigation phase involves a thorough inquiry into the cause of the incident, with evidence preservation for potential legal actions or regulatory inquiries. This task is performed by the IT Security Team, and external forensic experts may be involved if necessary. Remediation efforts, including vulnerability mitigation and security policy updates, are handled by the IT Department and Data Protection Officer, with immediate implementation and ongoing review.

Documentation of all actions taken, timelines, decisions, and lessons learned is continuously maintained by the Data Protection Officer and Legal Department throughout the process. Communication with affected individuals and addressing media inquiries is carried out by the Communications Department and Legal Department according to the incident response plan's guidelines.

Finally, a post-incident review, led by Senior Management, the IT Security Team, and the Data Protection Officer, assesses the response's effectiveness and guides adjustments to policies, training, and technical safeguards within one month post-incident.

‍
Change of Control: Over time, Magic School may grow and reorganize. We may share your information, including personal information with affiliates such as a parent company, subsidiaries, joint venture partners or other companies that we control or that are under common control with us, in which case we will require those companies to agree to use your personal information in a way that is consistent with this Privacy Policy.
‍
In the event of a change to our organizations such that all or a portion of Magic School or its assets are acquired by or merged with a third-party, or in any other situation where personal information that we have collected from users would be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by that third-party, this Privacy Policy will continue to apply to your information, and any acquirer would only be able to handle your personal information as per this policy (unless you give consent to a new policy). We will provide you with notice of an acquisition within thirty (30) days following the completion of such a transaction, by posting on our homepage and by email to your email address that you provided to us. If you do not consent to the use of your personal information by such a successor company, subject to applicable law, you may request its deletion from the company.

In the unlikely event that Magic School goes out of business, or files for bankruptcy, we will protect your personal information, and will not sell it to any third-party.
