School Accounts – Teachers, Students, and Parents or Guardians

When educational institutions establish accounts with MedlyAI, our role is that of a data processor, handling personal information as per the directives provided by the school.Schools grant us access, possibly through a service like Wonde, to essential information needed for account setup.The handling of personal data by such services adheres to their respective privacy policies.Authorized by the school, we access names and email addresses of selected staff members, as well as students and their parents or guardians, including other pertinent student - related information as needed.This data is exclusively utilized for the routine functioning of MedlyAI and is not disclosed to external parties.

For setting up MedlyAI within a school, student data is obtained in several ways: Directly from the School: Schools might directly provide us with a roster of students they wish to enroll, including names, school email addresses, and Unique Pupil ID(UPIs).For schools not using a service like Wonde, they may also electronically supply us with contact details of students' parents or guardians to facilitate our “Parent Reports” feature and other parental engagement tools. Via Access Code: Students can also join MedlyAI using a specific link or code that we provide.In this scenario, students will be asked to submit personal data, such as their email address and class information. MedlyAI refrains from directly emailing students unless responding to a specific inquiry or request from a student. We also require schools to give us contact details for the person(s) responsible for managing the MedlyAI account at the school.
