Privacy Policy
This page describes how the platform handles information today. Sections marked in review are still being confirmed and are not published commitments.
Last updated: August 2026
This page is maintained by Progressive Literacy Model to answer common questions about how the platform works. It describes current product behavior. It is not an independent audit, a certification, or legal advice.
4 sections on this page are still in review. Those sections show what has to be verified before anything is published as policy. Nothing marked in review should be relied on as a commitment.
What the product collects
- Account information you enter: name, email address, role, and organization if you provide one.
- Reading activity created in the product: assignments, read-aloud recordings, behavior scores, and coaching notes.
- Preferences you set, such as notification and reading settings.
- Information you type into a form on this website, together with the form type and the date submitted.
Why it is collected
To operate the features you use: delivering assignments, storing recordings for review, producing scorecards and growth reports, and responding to an inquiry you send us. Recordings and reading results are not used for advertising and are not sold.
Legal basis, regional rights, and specific statutory commitments
Pending review — not yet a published policy statement
This section is intentionally unanswered. It will be completed once the following have been confirmed by the business owner or legal reviewer:
- Which jurisdictions the business is operating in and selling to.
- Whether GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, FERPA, COPPA, or state student-privacy statutes apply, and in what role.
- Legal-counsel-approved wording for data subject rights and response timelines.
- The legal entity name, registered address, and privacy contact of record.
Retention periods and deletion timelines
Pending review — not yet a published policy statement
This section is intentionally unanswered. It will be completed once the following have been confirmed by the business owner or legal reviewer:
- Confirmed retention period for accounts, recordings, and scores.
- Confirmed deletion turnaround, including backups.
- Whether deletion differs for school-provisioned versus family accounts.
Draft language (unapproved)
Account information and reading work are retained while the account is active so growth can be measured over time, and deleted on request.
Processors and subprocessors
Pending review — not yet a published policy statement
This section is intentionally unanswered. It will be completed once the following have been confirmed by the business owner or legal reviewer:
- Final list of vendors that process account data, recordings, or form submissions.
- Where each vendor stores data, and whether data leaves the country of origin.
- Whether a public subprocessor list will be maintained on this page.
Security practices
Pending review — not yet a published policy statement
This section is intentionally unanswered. It will be completed once the following have been confirmed by the business owner or legal reviewer:
- Which security controls the business is willing to state publicly.
- Whether any audit, attestation, or certification exists. If none exists, no compliance claim will appear here.
- Incident notification process and contact.
